Summary: I saw this movie in theatres and run a Crow Site
Review: ...I was allowed to see this movie at a press screening and the one week test run in Spokane.

The Crow: Salvation definitely puts the crow right back on track. The Crow: Salvation has an excellent plot filled with twists and turns. The soundtrack and score for this film goes perfectly with this film. The Crow: Salvation is nothing at all like first two and the mystery angle instead of the straight on revenge like the first two is a nice change.

This movie doesn't start out like the first two, we meet the the main character before his death. The make up this time was burnt on at the time of his death instead of put on like the first two. As with any crow movie there is funny one-liners, action, explosions, and nudity. No wonder why the movie is rated R. Eric Mabius did an excellent job portraying The Crow. Fred Ward did an excellent job as the main bad guy, he could have been Top Dollar in the first one and it would have been great. Kristen Dunst impressed me, I was surprised she did this well, she did an excellent job of being emotional and confused. For those who never seen any of the crow movies or whatever, should be able to pick on this movie and like it easily.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This Film Is Somewhat Good
Review: The film is about a man named eric I beleive, who has been wrongfully accused of his girlfriends murder (Eric Mabius) and is sentenced to the Electric chair. As in the last two films the crow carries his soul and he seeks his revenge. He meets a girl, Julie(Kristen Dunst) and she helps him find the real murderer. This movie was released for a short time in spokane washington but to much of CROW FANS suprise the film was soon boycotted and the MIRAMAX pulled the film out of the theater and the decision was not to release it in theaters but on video and DVD. The special features on the DVD include a Music Video By Filter and a behind the scenes featurette

Summary: Better than the second
Review: I absolutely loved the first "Crow" movie. It was a tragic, gothic romance that absolutely moved me enough to buy it. This sequel to "The Crow" isn't without it's flaws, but is better than the lousy second sequel.

In this sequel, a man is wrongfully executed for a murder he didn't commit. Of course, when one is wronged through death, the crow comes back and brings him back to avenge his death, yeah, you get the picture. This time, the murdered girlfriend's sister, Kristin Dunst, is a major player in this movie as well as a couple of other actors you will be surprised to see.

Whereas the second Crow closely resembled the first, (and badly, I might add,) this one is different. It resembles a movie that can stand on it's own rather than a sequel. No one from the first or second movie is in this. However, it is more gory than the first two. One word: taxidermy.

Do I recommend this? Only if you're a die-hard fan. It's not bad, it's just for preferential taste only. Plus, you have to have a tougher stomach as well (considering one of the scenes has Kirsten having her mouth sewn shut rather than just taping it to keep her from screaming.) You'll appreciate the effort made with this one rather than the appauling second. Think of it like "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" apologizing for "Temple of Doom." Although unfortunately, it's not THAT good. But better.

Die-hard fans will probably like it, not necessarily buy it -- new viewers go get the original instead.

Summary: What...the.....
Review: Hmmm....I will start off by being blunt and honest....this movie sucks. It sucks for a various number of reasons but none-the-less, I finished this movie and it had me pissed off that I was robbed precious time I could have been doing ANYTHING else. The acting in it is terrible...I mean Eric and Kirsten are decent, but I just think the script sucked, and it seems like everyone knew this P.O.S. was headed straight to video and said screw it. I LOVE the first Crow film, as well as the comics and such, and even thought the first sequel to be watchable. But I just do not dig the plot in this one. I know alot of folks that have also done reviews here make statements like "if you don't like this movie your not a Crow fan" and "just give it a chance" and a few other things too dumb to retype, however I will shoot straight from the hip and tell you while I may not walk around and paint my face or even wear a trench coat, I am a huge fan of the concept The Crow established. This film just takes away from that romantic gothic concept. You have been warned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty damn decent, as far as sequels go
Review: I love how some people will proclaim "I'm such a big fan of the Crow series!!!", and yet will bash this one because it's not "Crow-ish" enough. Well kids, obviously your not as huge a fan as you claim. Salvation tells the tale of vengence from beyond the grave..just in a different way from the first two movies, so that it's rather unique. Instead of being killed right out in cold blood, Alex Corvis is framed, executed, and must seek revenge for the murder of his girlfriend, and consequently himself. Rather a decent telling, if you ask me. As much as we all love Brandon Lee, and nobody can ever replace him as far as these movies are concerned, I think we can all agree we do not want another cookie-cutter Crow sequel. Eric Mabius delivers a great performance that's believable and entertaining, and certainly not as unprofessional as some people would have you believe. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, this is true. However, instead of watching it once and immeadiately bashing whatever comes to mind quickest, why don't you sit down, try and enjoy the movie, and analyze just why this rendition was made the way it was. Uniqueness kids. It's what make great movies great.
