Rating: Summary: Too much like the first Review: Like many have said, this is more of a remake than a sequel. It's also too dark and dirty. Instead of reflecting on the first film, it should have had more of an original story.
Rating: Summary: Terrible Review: This was a terrible movie. It was a mistake to make a sequel. and now there is another sequel called the crow:salvation. I feel it just desecrates the original more and more. Tim Pope holds nothing to Alex Proyas.
Rating: Summary: Was this movie really needed? Review: The first is my favorite film of all time. And this must be the worst film of all time. First off I watched it twice. Compared to the original in story feel and emotion it is pathetic. Trying to see it as an individual film it was pathetic. In the first I was compelled and horrified by the emotion and situation. DURING THIS ONE I WAS ACTUALLY NODDING OFF!! There is hardly any character development, if you notice the the main character Alex managed to strike all famous poses of Eric's right down to mirroring the firey crow with a crow shape aparently made of glass?(WHEN DID HE GATHER ALL THAT GLASS never mind) This film was put together for high box office.(RIGHTFULLY BOMBED). Vincent is an excellent actor but should have acted instinctively on his character rather than listen to the director sayng see the first film, then mirror it.
Rating: Summary: good soundtrack Review: This movie had a good soundtrack, amazing special effects, and unique cinematography. The plot was thin but what do you expect from a sequel?
Rating: Summary: give a little credit Review: I know I sound kinda stupid, but give Vince a little credit. He made a daring move to take on a roll that was going to be compared to Brandon Lee's Eric Draven. And besides that, I thought it was a good movie. The only reason everybody thinks it sucked is because you expected a movie more like the first, which is impossible. Now, if the movie had come out before the first one, you would probably give the exact rating I am giving it. It was a great film(and the music was awesome as well). And by the way, his accent may have been strong, but I could understand every, single word. It actually added a different twist to the movie which not only was cool, but seperated it from the first, giving it its own idea(which it need given the reviews I read 'it sucked', 'it was baddddddd', 'never want to see it again!' oh, blow it out your ole' wahzoo!!)(and Vincent Perez was AWESOME!!!The only reason you thought he sucked was that he wasn't like and isn't Brandon Lee.)
Rating: Summary: Poor sequal Review: This movie would have been a good movie taken on its own, but as a sequal to The Crow it was terrible. It was essentially a streight re-creation of the orriginal, with only a slightly altered story line. It also lacked the impressive visuals and cinematic creativity of the orriginal. Though the sub-plot involving Sarah was interesting it did little to aleviate the shere repetativeness of this movie.See the orriginal, if your a true crow fan watch this one to.
Rating: Summary: Hollywood can't get anything right. Review: What made the different Crow books so good was the fact that they were different from each other. There were no ties between characters. However, this movie tried to tie the films together with the character of Sarah. She remembers the first crow, paints the new guy's face like his...Why can't filmmakers realize you don't need to do that? These were two seperate characters, they shouldn't be tied together by one familiar character. Apart from a few good action scenes & little good dialogue, this movie really isn't all that good. At least the soundtrack tried to be different.
Rating: Summary: Iggy Pop. Now there's a intimidating villian. HAHAHAHA Review: Maybe the movie was good, but I couldn't understand what the Crow guy was saying. It should have been sub-titled. Now, I can't dog this completely. I too, would be running for the hills if I were attacked by Iggy Pop, and the Yellow Ranger. With his freakish girations, and silly squirming. I'm not too sure why the guy was out for revenge. I thought his son died, but you'd never know it by the way the character acted. "Um, my son is dead, now I want to kill Iggy Pop." "I think somebody died, now I want to kill Iggy Pop.". "Now I want to kill Iggy Pop.". I think he was really seeking revenge for the soundtrack. Now apparently there was a "MAIN" villian in this movie too, but I don't remember him. No wait, that's right. He was the guy that wasn't very evil, and died pretty easily. Ooooooh yeah. Now if you'll excuse me I must go seek vengance for being made to suffer through this movie. MUST KILL IGGY POP.
Rating: Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER Review: I dont know why you people keep comparing this to the first one. Yeah it was good but this one was better I think. It's on the dark side and thats what I have to have in a movie. It's just all around excellent.
Rating: Summary: A PILE OF CROW CRAP. Review: Making a sequel to The Crow is like making a sequel to Grease or Terms of Endearment. We all know what the outcome of that was. The Crow: City of Angels is a disgrace to it's classic prequel. How dare they tarnish the sacred Crow this way? This film lacked everything the first one possessed, even down to the music! Where was all the cool music?!? Let me say that again, WHERE WAS ALL THE COOL MUSIC?!? I was so looking forward to seeing this film and it has to be up there with "biggest dissapointments in film history". It's like, "let's make a sequel to Fargo...yeah, yeah, good idea, yeah." There's just some things you don't do Hollywood!
