The Crow

[Mysterae_]

A murder of crows indeed.

Not surprised. I went to see it blind, without reading a review, probably the worst film i've seen this year.

From the sounds of it being blind is actually preferable.

I'd rather have my eyes pecked out by crow's than watch this.

That's the first thing he's said that's made any sense in years. His last notable contribution was making the argument that if someone liked an IP as a kid whether it be Star Wars, Tolkien or anything else than you should automatically like everything that's made connected with that IP in the future - yeah thanks for that George...

There's a time you could argue that and it probably was true.


but that's long passed now, people realise movies aren't about making good movies, or stuff the fans will like.
It's mostly about pushing DEI crap now the same as games, you will be reprogrammed not entertained

Look at star trek and doctor who... totally went against their own fan bases thinking people would still watch it anyway

Gonna go against the grain here but 6/10. I love the original The Crow but this is an adaptation of the comic not a remake. It wasn't great/spectacular or anything like that but it was to me a decent re-interpation of the comic. Some shoddy editing yes and the pacing wasn't quire there but it wasn't an unwatachable mess that some have described it as. I think most people who didn't know what 'The Crow' was would go in and think 'yeah that was alright, not great but entertaining.'

Spoiler

They could have made the love story much better by letting them get off drugs with each other rather than indulging in them. Then I would have believed their love story which took up 40+ minutes of the film.

Just watched this on the couch.

4.5/10

The movie had some good cinematography here and there but it felt more like a game trying to be a screenshot simulator than a movie. It lacked soul and depth, it's hard to get invested in a couple of junkies that connect at rehab in the "forever love" sense, especially within the time frame and the fact they continue to be junkies. While I realise the lore predates the Brandon Lee movie, it also needs to live up to it and fails miserably on every front.

I don't regret the couple of hours I spent on it, but I'll never watch it again.

Is it as bad as YouTubers made out, no. Is it a film that will want you to rewatch every now and again like the original no, but it was ok and for the run time you could watch far worse.
