Summary: Timeless, just like the first...
Review: I realize this movie is seven years old, but I was surfing the net and happened to see that Crow City of Angels was on television, so I thought I'd put in some positive words for this film. This is like the 20th time I've watched it. First of all, you have to forget THE CROW. It has no ties to the first one, it's a completely original character and story. It goes without saying, the first one is better. THE CROW is my favorite movie of all time. This movie is not bad though. It received so many negative reviews from critics however, which is too bad, because it is a very good movie. Vincent Perez does a wonderful job portraying Ashe; a man murdered along with his son, Danny, after witnessing a murder. Sarah (the litte girl from the first movie) returns in City of Angels, played by Mia Kirshner, to look after Ashe. Judah, played by Richard Brooks, doesn't even come close to Top Dollar, who was the main villain in the first movie, but he's ok. Judah does have one of the film's best lines though, when Ashe tells him to go to hell and he says "Already been there, and I must confess, I like what I saw." The dark and dreadful mood is still wonderfully intact, which I love. The look of this film is just as good as the first. There are so many great moments in this movie that I can never forget, such as when Sarah paints Ashe's face with Danny's old paints, the part where Ash pulls Curve's body out into the water and flowers surround him in the form of a crow, and the unforgettable ending when Judah is destroyed. It's classic. Another great aspect of this movie is how Ash mocks the words of the killers - what they said just before they killed him and his son - just before he kills them. I think most people never even wanted to give this movie a chance because of what happened to Brandon Lee, and that's understandable but at the same time a shame because a great talent was passed over in Vincent Perez, and a great movie as well.

Summary: not as bad as i would of thought
Review: i rented this movie expecting to hate it. i didnt. true it is a little yellow but i can deal with that. it is a actual seuqual that is slightly like the first it has sarah from the first in it. some people say they should have made a new "look" for the crow but since sarah paints his face she is painting him like what she saw eric painted like. you should see the first one before this but this is a movie worth watching.

Summary: Not as good as the first, but close.
Review: I was worried when I first started watching this, wondering if I wasted my money. Granted it does have just about the same story as the first, except Ash and his son Danny get shot for witnessing a murder instead of in the first they were killed because of Devils Night. Not too far into the movie I realized it was going to be good, they kept the miserable dark look of the city like in the first and Vincent Perez did a worderful job. So if you liked the first Crow I recomend you see City Of Angels, like I said not good as the first but a good follow up.

Summary: as good as the first
Review: i wrote a reviw of this but am not sure if it will be posted. this is a great movie it is origional and a good sequal without steping on brandon lee's memory. it is about ashe the new crow who is getting revenge on the thugs who killed him and his son. sarah's back from the first one. im tired of people saying they should have changed the crows makeup. here is why it makes sense sarah paints ashe's face like what she saw eric draven's face painted like. if your going to hate this movie because of that then rent the CROW SALVATION. thanks for reading and give me a good review.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: I've never seen the original Crow movie, so i can't really have a biased opinion about this movie. And if people really say this sucks compared to the first Crow, than i'd really like to see the first becusae it must be amazing. I did have one major problem with this movie, and that was the fact that the villans were just overly-done. They have such a defined character and everything they do has to reek evil, and it gets to be repetitive the point of nausia. Other than that, this was a pretty good film. The dialouge is sparce, making most of the characters rely on their movements and thier looks to give you a feel of whats going on. Obviously not everyone will like this kind of thing, its rather slow paced, and best for just sitting there and kind of laying around watching it, not really for people into intense action or comedies.

Summary: The Crow: City of Angels
Review: In a completly isolated and gothic town, people are murdered left and right, including auto mechanic Ashe Corven and his son Danny. But one year later, guided by a mysterious crow and Sarah, Ashe returns to avenge the deaths. Sounds like a rehash of the first film, but it's a completly different film. The gothic look of the film is such a nice touch. Mia Kirshner is provocative as Sarah, who lived through this experience once with Eric Draven in the first film. Iggy Pop is very suprising and does a bang-up job. Richard Brooker is a particularly creative and different villan, one who seeks immortality and is obsessed with death, but is agrophobic and cannot leave his arena, if you will call it that. I really love the music of this one, the script is good, with new characters and setting. However, a lot of people bashed this film. Obviously, one reason is that most people are too blind to see the true creativity and they only see a blatant rehash. Another is that they think this film tried to copy the first one. But most people hate it because it's not Brandon Lee, saying that it's not right for someone else to play his character. But this film doesn't have Eric Draven. It has a completly new and original character with his own history and ways of using the powers bestowed upon him. Now I get on to the one thing that truly made this film what it is: Vincent Perez. I thought he was marvelous and powerful, every bit as good as Brandon Lee. He was excellent and it's fun to notice similarities between Vincent and Brandon. They look about the same age, with a similar height and build. Defintely right up there with THE CROW.

Summary: Many Crows- Many Monsters
Review: My feelings about this sequel were mixed at first. The more I see it over time, though, the more I have to admit that it is a decent effort. Of course nothing can top the first film and the story of Eric Draven. But then, this film doesn't really try to rip off the first. Afterall, both are based on O'Barr's comic book series- and there are many Crows. You'll never run out of Crows, because you'll never run out of restless spirits, monstrous injustice, and the unavenged dead. The two films are tied together nicely, though. It wasn't until probably the third time that I saw it that I realised that the female lead, Sara, is the little girl from the original film. She has grown up and moved as far away from Detroit and Devil's Night as she can get. Unfortunately, she has run to the City of Angels and the Day of the Dead.... In any case, the sets, the costumes, and especially the music, definately give the same overall feel of the original- if anything it is even more gritty and extreme. The character of Ash is not your typical macho action hero. He is decent, sensitive, average guy- who has his only son murdered in front of him. My only question is this- if the they wanted to play up the sensitivity and murdered child angle, then why didn't they make this incarnation of the Crow a woman?

Summary: Lets Get Everything Straight!
Review: Ok, the reason everybody has a problem with this movie is, that they believe it tramples on the memory of Brandon Lee because they feel someone else is playing his part. It doesnt, even if he had lived he wouldnt be in this movie. The characters are completely different people for a reason, showing that all kinds of people can come back for vengeance. The problem I had with it is that it was too much like the first, almost trying to copy it(i.e. The similarity of Brandon and Vince's look). I think Salvation did a better job by changing the victims dress, hair, etc.. No movie will ever top the first but, this one tried to, buy using the same formula, long hair, black leather clothes, and a little birdie. Overall it wasnt that bad.

Summary: Another Crow
Review: People fail to realize that Brandon Lee's character Eric Draven is not the crow but another person that is given the crow's powers. There have been many crow's before him and there will be many after. I think that this movie was great, it had a new look and feel to it that fit the story good. Its sad that Brando lost his life during the making of the first but why let a good franchise die with him. The Crow isnt a super hero that fights crime and saves the world. For a short period of time a perosn is given the powers of the crow to get revenge and once they get revenge they give up the powers and die. So what would be the point of having Brandon Lee play the Crow again if he fulfilled his mission in the first movie. I hear they are making the 4th movie in the series titled The Crow: Wicked Prayer. I hope this one is as good as the first 2. The 3rd one was decent but not as good as the first 2.
