When I sat down to watch the 2022 DC animated movie "Catwoman: Hunted", I have to admit that I didn't realize that it was going to be an Anime-inspired presentation of the DC characters. And had I known that, I might actually not have sat down to watch this DC animated movie from writer Greg Weisman and director Shinsuke Terasawa. Anime is good for Japanese animation, not for something as prominent as established DC characters.
But I opted to stick with watching it, now that I had already embarked upon watching it. But I have to say that I was only mildly entertained. Writer Greg Weisman didn't really deliver a wholesome storyline here. The story felt a bit inconsistent and took the viewers from one location to the next without letting the viewers delve much into the events that transpired in one place before moving on to the next. And when the "Robotech" armored people and strange mutants showed up, then the movie just dropped to an all-time low.
Sure, the animation was smooth and good in "Catwoman: Hunted", but the art style itself just conflicted with the expectations I had of watching something from DC. So that definitely took away from the overall enjoyment for me.
It should be noted, though, that the voice cast ensemble for "Catwoman: Hunted" was rather good. There were some rather good talents and unique voices in the movie to bring the characters to life, with the likes of Lauren Cohen, Kelly Hu, Keith David, Jonathan Frakes and Jonathan Banks. So they definitely had put together a talented group of voice actors for this 2022 DC animated movie.
Ultimately, then I will not say that I was impressed with "Catwoman: Hunted", much less overly entertained. It was watchable, sure, but that was also about it. And this is definitely not an animated movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.
My rating of "Catwoman: Hunted" lands on a four out of ten stars.
