But all those nay-sayers don't appreciate how well a movie plot can be sustained by having Charlize run around in a cat suit for most of her screen time! Plus, she was 12 years younger when that movie was released! It certainly kept ME interested. Of course, she's still looking good now - but I don't know how many more years she still has before her expiration date.

Oh well, at least all those negative reviews allowed me to get my blu-ray copy for 99�!

with all of its grotesque tongue waving and un-attractive sexual innuendo, the animated series is still the benchmark. That movie version with Charlize was definitely cleaned up....but somehow not as good, imo.

With the above said, the movie probably deserves a better rating than what it got from Rotten tomatoes. Perhaps over time viewer loyalty will prove the reviewers, if not wrong, irrelevant.

...fun film - lots of action, interesting music, not too much plot to get in the way and there is no actress more beautiful than Charlize Theron.

How can you go wrong with that?
