Review: Ok first of all I would like to warn you if you are not a crow fan then you will not like this movie very much. The movie is great there is more actual involvement in the killing of the bad guys which is always good. The plot is a good one. The acting is great I personally think that Perez did a good job of portraying the Crow almost as well as the late Brandon Lee. Although Perez's perfomance is better than Brandon's in some cases. Overall the movie was great.

Review: I FOUND THIS MOVIE TO BE VERY GOOD & THE MUSIC IS GREAT. IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS PART ONE, I THINK PART ONE WAS GREAT, BUT I ENJOYED IT A LOT. I THINK NO ONE LIKES THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S NOT BRANDON LEE (WHO WAS AWESOME IN PART ONE) BUT I THINK VINCE PEREZ DID A GOOD JOB. THIS MOVIE HAS A LOT OF COOL THINGS ABOUT IT, WHEN YOU WATCH THE MOVIE DON'T LOOK AT IT LIKE JUST ANOTHER CROW MOVIE BUT MORE LIKE ANOTHER CROW STORY. THIS MOVIE HAS IT'S OWN COOL DARK STYLE.

Summary: Blasphemy
Review: As a big fan of the first Crow film, it is my duty to hate The Crow: City of Angels. Watching the tragically killed Brandon Lee play the tragically killed musician, Eric Draven, in the first "Crow" movie added an eerie resonance, poetry and a surreal kind of class to what was a straightforward, dark-visioned movie. The controversy together with Lee's graceful performance transformed the 1994 film from an awesome cult film to a boxoffice success -- that made a sequel inevitable. But the sequel fails in every way. It's a hack job -- an overlit, undirected, nonacted, nonscripted longform music video. What's the story? It doesn't matter. It's an empty recycling of the first one. And as far as the other Crow films go, it's a shame that Lee's death has allowed an excuse to build such an aweful franchise on his grave.

Summary: One star out of pity
Review: I held off for the longest time renting this movie for the longest time because I thought that it was a way to cash in to the success of the first. i decided that I wanted to see it because well, I thought I was being unfare and well, it might actually have some good qualities. Well, I was right to be apprehensive. This movie which felt like a really long tv show just made me cringe. I rent good movies with the bad cause I'm a movie buff. But City of Angels actually was painful to sit through. Not because it clearly wanted to be what the first one was and more and ends up being a bad copy of the first. No, what makes this one of the worst movies I've ever seen is the way that it can't stand alone to save it's life. If you haven't seen the first you are going to be lost and think this movie REALLY STINKS. The characters are lame and very uninteresting, if not annoying. The story just leaves you going, "Are they purposely trying to insult my intelligence?" I mean, the whole wrongful death sucks but I felt nothing and I and I am very easily emotionally moved. In a nutshell, just hollywood trying to cash in on the success of something and falling on it's face.

Summary: Why does everbody think this movie sucks?
Review: It's really starting to piss me off that people give this movie such a bad rap. I think that its great! Given, its nowhere near as good as the first one, but the first Crow is just a classic. It can't be beaten. But this movie is still good. Its not near as emotional in the first one. In the first one, you actually felt sorry for the characters, but in City of Angels, the plot is to just kill people. Not like thats a bad thing though. The lighting effects are really cool. Los Angelas is shrouded in a badass looking green fog.Ash and his son are murdered by a gang of thugs after they witness a murder. The crow comes and brings Ash back to "set the wrong things right".

Summary: The Hollwood sequel factory turns out another terrible movie
Review: This is easily one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. This movie tries hard to recycle all of the successful elements of the original Crow movie. . .unfortunately it doesn't have much luck. What it lacks in story and acting and basic logic, it tries to make up for with stylish sodium lighting and a hodge-podge of shadowy religious imagery and quick-cut edited kinky S&M orgies. The director fills out the rest of the hour and a half with shots of tattoos, motercycles, and crows flying around the desolate cityscape.

Summary: Terrible...
Review: If you loved the first movie, "The Crow" starring the legendary Brandon Lee, stay away from this "The Crow: City Of Angels". It is horrible - the acting, execution of story, and the backdrop (a green foggy mist engulfs Los Angeles...sick). This is an insult to Brandon Lee who poured out his heart and soul to make "The Crow". Vincent Perez is terrible in this film, he has no grace or rhythm when he moves, he has terrible fight scenes, he acts wimpy, and his dialogue is bad. Only a couple of things good about this film, the name of the movie is cool, only it doesn't fit the material, and the tribute to Brandon Lee (VHS version, maybe DVD???) at the end of the movie. In my opinion, they should of stopped with the first one, Brandon Lee as Eric Draven will always be the best.

Summary: The Crow: COA
Review: I know a lot has been written about this picture. Some of it is supporting, but most of it is complaining. I for one thought this was a really good movie. A lot of the scenes (particularly those with Iggy Pop) have stayed in my head for eternity. I saw this movie before I knew anything about the Crow legacy, and I instantly loved it. Slowly, I backtracked through the story's history until I watched the original. Suprisingly, I found that I enjoyed watching The Crow:COA more than the original. The death of a little kid and his father in the epitome of slums meant more to me than the death of an older couple in Detroit. Finally, I'd like to address Perez's accent. Yes, it exists, there's no denying that. But SO WHAT!??! It makes it seem more realistic. Not to bash the original film, but there's more credibility in this movie than there was about a rock musican who was killed the night before his wedding.

Summary: Disgrace of a Memory
Review: This film is straight up horrid. By creating this film, the memory of Brandon Lee, as well as the reason for writing The Crow in the first place, have both been utterly tarnished. The storyline follows that of the first film - a man is killed horribly along with a loved one, and returns from the dead to exact his revenge. I couldn't even bring myself to pay to see this one. I waited until the local library had it and borrowed it for free. Kids, heed my warning and take the advice of one who has seen this trash...avoid this film no matter whatever else you do in life! Let Brandon Lee retain some dignity, and stay away from this one.

Summary: Disgrace to Brandon Lee
Review: This movie is a complete insult to Brandon Lee who starred and died in the making of The Crow. The main character is a wimp. He is scrawny and not very intimidating. This movie is a complete insult to the original and should not even be associated with The Crow. Do not buy it! Do not even bother watching it!
