Summary: Alex Corvus Great Job!!!!!!!!!
Review: Eric Draven has already avenged his death, and now it Alex Corvus' turn to avenge his. Alex was wrongfully executed for a crime he didn't commit, and now there's HELL to pay. I loved this movie because "The Crow City of Angels" sucked big time. I think that it made for a good sequel knowing how the first "Crow" turned out.

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: It may not be the pinnacle of human achievement...
Review: ...but regardless, this is still a relatively good movie. The third addition to The Crow series, this film does something which the second one (The Crow: City of Angels) failed to do - it does something different. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of The Crow. I've read the comics and the novels, I've sat through the syndicated television show, I own all three movies. Because of all these factors, many people would probably expect me to go into a rant about how horrid this film is, that it disgraces the memory of Brandon Lee and whoever responsible for it should experience a slow and painful death. I'm not going to say that. Because, what some of these other reviewers failed to notice about The Crow franchise is that it's a very universal concept. Anyone who's been wronged can be resurrected through the mystical powers of the enigmatic crow. The last thing I wanted this movie to be was another rehash of the original. I didn't want to see yet ANOTHER guy with long, dark hair, an affinity for leather, and goth appeal oozing from every orifice. I wanted to see something different. In my mind, Salvation accomplishes this. The lead character has short hair, and he's dressed in prison fatigues. Right there, it breaks one major stereotype of The Crow. And that leads into my main complaint about fans of the series. Some (not all, mind you) don't want The Crow films to be a rehash of the first film. Yet, they also rant and rave if it's different. So how, praytell, do you expect it to be an original film if it's not allowed to be different from the first film? Brandon Lee was simply marvelous in The Crow. That much is a given. Anyone who's watched it, even if they didn't like the film, they enjoyed his performance. He was truly born to play that role. City of Angels, the sequel, had a great actor in the lead role. Vincent Perez was marvelous. But, while it was still an entertaining movie, it was basically a rehash of the original. A rehash that lacked the magic that the first one had. Salvation is able to do something different. There's no crime lord in this story. Instead, the enemy is a corrupted police department. The hero in this film doesn't paint his face. Instead, the mark of The Crow is due to the scars he received during his execution. I recall that one reviewer attacked this film because the main character, Alex Corvis, killed several police officers. What, exactly, did you want him to do? If you'll recall, they were shooting at him, as well. He simply acted in retaliation. This reviewer also complained that, "Brandon Lee's character never did this!" Obviously, the reviewer overlooked the fact that in the shoot-out scene at Top Dollar's in the first film, Brandon Lee's character grinned and said, "you're all going to die." Then, he proceeded to kill about twenty people to get to one. Yes, they were crime lords who deserved to die. But, who's to say that the police officers Alex killed were innocent? The story was one of police corruption. Who's to say that those cops weren't corrupt? Even if they were innocent, it simply reflects the descent into madness that all Crows experience. Brandon Lee's character made this evident by sudden bouts of rage whenever he was reminded of his past. Vincent Perez's character would recite words that his killers said before they took away the life of him and his son. Alex Corvis killed some cops. To my fellow Salvation critics and Crow fans, I implore you: open your eyes. Don't attack Salvation simply because it's not the original. Don't attack Eric Mabius simply because he's not Brandon Lee. There will never be another Brandon Lee. There will never be another The Crow. It happened. It's in the past. The time has come to move on. If you compare Salvation to The Crow, then yes, it will seem like a horrible movie. That's why you shouldn't compare them. And for Heaven's sakes, please stop complaining. It happened. It's done. You can't turn back the clock and erase this film. So, why don't you try watching it with an open mind?

Summary: Horrible
Review: I saw the 'Salvation' movie not to long ago and it has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. This movie makes the second Crow movie look like a masterpiece. No wonder this movie didn't make it to the theaters. Nobody would watch it. The acting and everything about this movie is an insult to the Crow Franchise. To bad, because I really wanted to like this movie. If your a Crow fan do not watch this movie or if you want a good laugh, rent it.

Summary: 1 Star is really being *too* kind..
Review: I hate to say it, but this has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I loved the first Crow, I even "liked" the second one.. but this one is pure junk. It should be called "The Crow: Quest for more money" - because there is not an ounce of real acting in this entire film. From the first few minutes on, it becomes apparent that the main character is out of a bad B-movie. My advice is to save your money... the acting and ...writing in this film are so absurd, it's not even worth renting.

Summary: you MUST buy this movie!
Review: This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a really long time. You must buy this movie and watch it with a bunch of friends. Okay, maybe you should rent it. But how could you resist? If you are a hater of the first Crow movie you'll really love this one. It has nothing that the first movie offered! The allure of the first movie for me was the shear beauty of it. Brandon Lee himself was joy to watch for two hours. The main character of this movie is not attractive in the least. Instead of having the morals and vendetta that the first and second Crow had, this guy just kills for the hell of it. In fact at one point he wastes about 10 cops who are just doing thier job! At least in the first two movies there was some way of thinking the bad guys at least deserved it. But if the unattrative guy (wait 'till you see the disgusting way he gets his Crow face) isn't to your liking, rent it for the special effects!! Make sure you watch closely as The Crow drops a lit match into some spewing gasoline...the match lands on one side, but the pyrotechnics guy lights the other side of the puddle! And this scene climaxes in a wonderful explosion of a helicopter. Of course they couldn't really afford to blow up a real one, so they apparently higher some highschool student to CGI some flames over the helicopter and make it look like it is consumed in a firey inferno. Shallow characters, unneeded violence, lame dialogue, lame plot, lame music, lame lame lame. Some guy apparently was explained the plot to the first movie and just didn't get it. It is to The Crow (the first one) as the Second Highlander is to the first. Oh! And this Crow gets all sorts of intersting new abilities! Wait till you see the way it looks when he sees through the crow's eyes...ever seen the screen saver which is a ball that distorts your screen? Okay, I could go on forever, but you really have to see it for yourself!

Summary: Not again..
Review: The Crow: Salvation is so dead, I doubt even the crow could raise it. This third installment in The Crow franchise totally lacks the passion, intelligence and edge (not to mention directing and acting) of Brandon Lee's poetic swan song. Granted, one expects the basic theme to return, but there could be at least some kind of different spin or take on the tale. Not so here. Oh yeah, the writers did throw in a 'murder mystery' into the mix - but of course it didn't matter that it was obvious who the killer was five minutes into this "movie". Kirsten Dunst does the best she can under the circumstances. The soundtrack doesn't touch the first one (how can you beat The Cure and NIN?). This of course is nothing compared to the 'crooked cop' who just happend to have extensive knowledge of the rules and powers of the crow -- Huh?? Some say 'Salvation' is better than 'City of Angels' because it's more violent. I say they are both locked together in total lameness. The Crow: Salvation was made in 1999. Plans for a theatrical release were scraped after it bombed with screening audiences, and it was released straight-to-video. Just watch this pile of dung and you'll know why.
