Most Unwelcome Sequel of the Year?!?

I dunno, maybe Miguel likes either the Pink Panther genre, or Steve Martin. I can't blame him for the latter, I like Steve too. However his latest offerings have made me cringe, and say "Steve, what are you thinking?!"

Nothing wrong with being a fan of an unpopular series or star. A frequent mistake is to assume our love for it should be universal, and if you don't share it, there's something wrong with you.

I'm in the same boat - sorta - well . . . . I finally watched Halle in Catwoman.

I liked it. There, I said it.

Didn't love it, but it was okay, and not nearly as bad as it was painted. Frankly, there's far worse movies in that genre (Elektra and the last two Punishers come to mind).

I also think a line could be drawn between Halle playing Catwoman, and Steve Martin, the Inspector. I think it's roles they personally are in love with, want to play, and have enough "Hollywood Pull" to get produced - no matter what sensible folks in the industry might say. Of course they're probably surrounded by their share of "Yes Men/Women".

Their mistake is that everyone's gonna love them in those roles, too. No need for a good plot or story, either! The reviews they recieve is their reality check, and from what I saw, Halle acknowledged hers, while Steve is still in La La Land.

I can see "Catwoman" as a guilty pleasure. However it was totally worthy of all the Razzies it got. "Elektra" also feel short, but was no where as bad as "CW" was. You may have seen I made a saying for movies based on how bad "CW" was. "Catwoman-ized", for movie adaptations that have little or nothing to do with the source material that the movie is suppose to be based on. The polar opposite being "the Sin City treatment", in which the movie adaptation is word for word and scene for scene indentical to the source material it's based off of.
