Is Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy as memorable as Michelle's Catwoman?


What do you think? To me it is but it seems that for most people it wasn't a memorable role?

reply

No, don't be silly.

I loved Uma's Poison Ivy because it was broad over-the-top camp, something few modern actresses have the nerve to attempt.

Pfeiffer's Catwoman was raw and emotionally real, quite the opposite and better by any rational standard. But I do love some camp, particularly if it involves gorilla suits.

Catwoman is better. Batman and Robin was terrible.

reply

Not a chance. Uma's Poison Ivy was more a caricature.

reply

why? caricature of what? when you read Poison Ivy's first appearances in the comics, it's just like Uma Thurman performed it.
