Catwoman: Gejagt

This 2022 "D. C." animated movie "Catwoman: Hunted" is pretty interesting and entertaining with action, fun, and drama, as it twist which is typical of all "D. C." works. Selina Kyle aka "Catwoman" puts it all on the line even all of her 9 lives for the chance to get a jewel(an emerald). However on the international journey is "Batwoman" and "Interpol" trying to chase and spoil in a wicked cat and mouse game that features assassins, and "Leviathan". Thru it all it's like the ladies the bat and cat work together against the other bad guys. Overall okay animated movie in which the cat prowls and struts her stuff!

Catwoman is a favorite of mine when it comes to Batman villains. So, I was interested in this movie, especially with this having an anime inspired style of animation.

Catwoman: Hunted was a pretty good Catwoman animated movie with some things I noticed that was a slight issue and things I liked throughout.

I liked Catwoman/Selina Kyle and how she looked in the animation style. Batwoman/Kate Kane was good and she also looked good in the animation style.

The action scenes are cool and fast moving, but they can be too fast moving to see. Only a little bit though.

Black Mask/ Roman Sionis is in this, but he isn't in most of the movie and only in small scenes. It was a little disappointing when this happened to a cool famous Batman villain.

Some of the villains fighting Catwoman were weird but interesting. The 3rd act final fight was quick but cool, mostly because it's fun seeing Catwoman fight.

The background music is nice to listen to when the action scenes play out, and it sounded like an old anime from the 70's.

Overall, I had some fun with this animated movie and Catwoman was fun watching. I would watch it if you are interested in this kind of movie and like this DC character.

An enjoyable self contained story that still hints at a wider world. Mostly down to earth action oriented cohesive plot with believable motivation. I know it does not sound like much but its more than most movies have delivered in recent history.

The voice Elizabeth Gillies used was like honey.

Catwoman was balanced and playful. Batwoman was softer than in her previous screen appearances. Both were a delight.

It has been a long while since I so fully enjoyed a DC movie. I defiantly enjoyed it a lot more than Justice Society: World War II or their attempts at adapting big name stories like injustice or superman red son,etc.

The only minor thing I would say slightly detracted from the movie is the number of villains, particularly the presence of one near the final fight felt unnecessary. While I greatly enjoyed the fight sequence itself, I felt the same could have been accomplished by simply having the final antagonist do those actions.

The writing felt all over the place, lacks any twists or turns and just plays out in a very generic and formulaic way. No character arcs or anything of the sort to be found here, which is disappointing.

When I heard Yutaka Yamada was composing the score for this, I was really expecting this movie to go all in on a thrilling and unpredictable heist story along the lines of Great Pretender (which Yamada also did the score for) so this being the end result ended up being very disappointing for me.

Not gonna lie, I didn't really know how to feel about this movie when it first got announced, I was just kind of happy that Catwoman will finally get a new solo movie, Like seriously, when was the last we got a GOOD solo Catwoman movie for crying out loud, Firstly, we got the hilariously awful 2004 live-action Catwoman movie and then we got a 2D animated Catwoman showcase a couple of years ago, and that was kind of it..

So I was pretty excited for the movie and thankfully it didn't disappoint, This movie was so much fun, Even though the was basically 80% action and 20% Catwoman messing with Batwoman, I still had a lot of fun with it!

Catwoman attends a Masquerade party with Black Mask, Of course, Catwoman being Catwoman, she wandered on her own to go and steal the green priceless diamond that is locked behind a giant bank safe, As I said, this movie doesn't really have that much of a story, It's more an action movie more than anything and thankfully, the action is great!

The animation is pretty great too, except some animation looking a bit goofy here and there and CGI cars looking a bit outdated, I think this art style really fits Catwoman's character, The producers said that the biggest inspiration for this movie was "Lupin III" and I could totally see that!

The jazzy smooth score is really good too, The voice cast is really good too, and the fact that Batwoman is voiced by the same chick who voiced Mirabel in Disney's Encanto is just incredible!

Of course I have some complaints like how the movie introduces like 8 characters and doesn't really do that much with them, I guess I shouldn't blame the movie is only 1 hour and 18 minutes, so I guess they didn't really had that much to work with, but still even with that, I still think that Catwoman: Hunted is really fun, charming colorful action flick!

And I already know a lot of Batman fans won't like this movie because it's not dark and gritty and suspenseful like other animated DC movies, but hey, having a little bit of fun won't kill anyone right, Not every Batwoman related thing has to be The Dark Knight trilogy, Live a little :)
