Hitting theaters on December 20th, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom marks the end of the DC film cycle in theaters, soon to be reinvented under the direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
If the DC Extended Universe suffered more declines than its producers hoped for between 2013 and 2023, it’s the film before it that holds the AlloCiné audience’s lowest-rated opus award. Logic dictates that we immediately think of Batman & Robin, but the latter is not “this” to the end Before the feature film of the same world.
Averaged 1.3 out of 5 from 8,445 ratings, this is Catwoman donning the dunce cap. If the question of a Michelle Pfeiffer-led spin-off arose after his appearance in Batman, it’s a challenge without him, and not without Tim Burton, that the film saw the light of day. But with newly-Oscar-winning Halle Berry in front of the French Pitof camera. In what would go down as the biggest public and critical failure of their careers.
The heroine has since returned, wearing the guise of Zoe Kravitz (Batman) after Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises), and shooting an ambulance would be futile. But it’s clear that Catwoman remains dethroned in this ranking, without a leader she’d be fine with as she celebrates her 20th anniversary in 2024. And that the DCEU’s lowest-rated opus, Shazam 2, is only average. 2.4 out of 5.
“Presented as a vulgar character, Catwoman is an obvious failure that does not revolutionize the genre at all! A disaster with terrible special effects and above all, millions thrown out the window”condemns Chrischambers86. Harmful reviews talks about “Worst comic book adaptation ever made and one of the worst cinematic products ever”Clearly, knowing that his review was from 2013 and that he had undoubtedly seen Green Lantern at that time.
“Complete failure on all counts” (Morgan B), this is a movie “fantastic nonsense” for that scalp_soul and “One of the most beautiful turfs of recent years” according to Lepucedukoin. Of the 566 reviews published to date, 195 are accompanied by a minimum rating (0.5 out of 5), or just over a third.
The performance is like Jean-Marie Poiret wanting to make David Fincher
And to say that some texts are harmful is an understatement. sometimes fun (“Production looks like this Jean-Marie Poiret Who wants to do David Fincher“ According to an anonymous internet user), it is sometimes quite disrespectful and we will not post an extract of it here. How could Hollywood finance such a project? asked another anonymous in 2010, whose opinion we’d like to know about some of the blockbusters of recent years.
“Everything has been said about this movie: bad acting, ridiculous script, bad CGI special effects, completely inappropriate costume for Catwoman, etc.”Another anonymous person who probably didn’t know concluded in December 2013 that no DC production could do worse ten years later.
Fortunately for Catwoman, the character is set to return in the Batman sequel, which is still signed by Matt Reeves and is slated for a fall 2025 release.
