A Controversial Release

When "Catwoman" was released in 2004, it faced harsh criticism from reviewers. Despite Berry's Oscar win two years prior and her record-breaking $14 million salary for the role, the film was panned, with some critics describing her performance as "about as sexy as a regurgitated hairball."

'Halle Berry's Failure'

Berry recently reflected on the 20th anniversary of the film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, expressing her long-standing frustration at being singled out for the movie's criticism. The notorious comic book film underperformed at the box office, and the actress received a Razzie for her role. She made headlines by attending the ceremony with her Oscar in hand to accept the award for worst performance.

“I felt like it was Halle Berry's failure, but I didn't make it alone,” Berry recalled. "All these years, I've absolutely carried it."

Berry's celebratory post not only highlights her enduring connection to the character but also showcases her playful and confident spirit, which continues to captivate her audience two decades later.
