Summary: better than the lame sequel
Review: I'd say this one it better then 1996's City Of Angels which really downfalled it with Vincent Perez's crappy dialouge and mindnumbing prancing around, but I think Eric Mabius is better then him and does a great job in the lead role. who cares if its the same story over again, at least Perez didnt do this one is all I said and I think Kirsten Dunst if good in this one too but then she sorta trips a wire and goes nowhere somewhere int the movie. Mabius cant live up to the performance of Brandon Lee but Mabius is a sure fine actor(dispite his lame supporting roles in Cruel Intentions and Resident Evil). for fans

Summary: The Crow - Salvation (Collector's Series)
Review: this movie is the best!!
after the crow 2 i was really disappointed and i was not sure i would want to even bother with the 3rd, but since i got all three for my birthday i decided i had to watch it out of birthday thanks. i was plesently surprised to find the movie was very entertaining. they brought the love factor back in and that is what i believed killed the 2nd movie. they needed sex love, not father/son love. the music was really good as well and the best part was the attitude of the crow in the movie. he was very bad ... i also liked the way they made his face into the crow, it was very inventive. this movie should have made it to the theaters and the second one should be scraped!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: as good as the first and second
Review: this is the third instllment to the crow saga. this is about alex corvus a 21 yr old framed for the murder of his girl friend and gets the electric chair. now for all you who hated the second one because the make up was the same youll love the way he gets his face now. the finally show a character get shot in the head and it just hels back up. it has a pretty good mystery and a lot of action. you shold see sometime.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the crow is back!...again
Review: i just bought this movie (i know the people who hated it are thinking im an idiot) and it is really cool. it has a good sound track and a good mystery (hey ya i couldnt solve it right away). they have a new way for the crows look he gets the electric chair and has a burnt face when he peels (pretty weird) the burnt skin of he has the crow design. it isnt like the first 2 but its a nice change. i couldnt find it to rent but you might so go buy(or rent) this movie today or tommorow... or whenever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Under-rated
Review: Now ok, i am the biggest fan of the crow series there is, comics, movies, novels etc... I have a signed Caliber Crow #1.
So dont yell at me for this! The second movie ..., we all know this but i thought this one stood out nicely. I think that Mabius while not coming near Brandons performance, overall established himself nicely.There was some holes in the plot but lets get real, it about a bird who brings souls back for vengence! It did justice (unlike City of angels) the first, but not upstaging it, it stood out on its own nicely. overall a movie worth watching. ****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great one
Review: This movie was great, i dont care what any one says. Considering Eric Mabius is extremely hot quoteing my daughter i also thought the movie had goods to it because of the acting, the plot(even though its the same),and just the all out movie. My daghter personally is a fan of Eric Mabius's work and I am a fan of Kirsten's work myself.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: SECOND TIME LUCKY
Review: It was never going to be easy topping the success of the first Crow movie, which had just about everything you could ask of a faithful adaptation. There was no excuse for The Crow: City Of Angels to be so dire, so I held little hope for a third movie being any better. Thankfully, with The Crow: Salvation am I proved very, very wrong. The story is easy to follow, with some thought going into it, the acting was strong enough and the visuals were stunning, especially the death chamber. The biggest surprise of this movie was that not only had the producers and director managed to stay faithful to the gothic of the first, but also added humour, which is something I never expected to find in a Crow movie, but something that works well here. Hopefully, this movie is an indication of sequels to come, where action and drama go hand in hand, rather than the spectacular mess that was City Of Angels. An ideal movie for a quiet Friday night that is well worth a look.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Salvation was the worst crow movie of all
Review: I have seen all of the crow movies and this is the worst one . I cant believe how much this movie [disappointed] .If you have children please do not let them see this movie because it shows women posing for online pornography and shows a dirty cop looking up a young womans skirt.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fair movie, but not great.
Review: As a big fan of the first Crow movie, and a bigger fan of the second, I bought this DVD based soley on brand-name recognition. I know what to expect from the Crow, namely, some decent person had something bad done to them, and that person comes back from the dead and avenges themselves, and rights the wrongs. Pretty straightforward stuff. Without getting into the meat of the story, or giving away any suprises, that's what happens here.

I can tell from the acting that this movie was made with the best intentions. I won't disparage the actors, because everybody did a decent job with what they had. And therein lay the problem.

It seemed as though the actors weren't given much to work with. The dialouge is thin, which doesn't develop the characters all that well.

Also, it seems after the dismal performance of the second Crow (underrated, check it out), the budget for the Crow franchise took a serious cut. It has a direct to video feel to it, and the more I watched, the more I expected Shannon Tweed walk onscreen, just to give it some b-movie cred.

All that and believe it or not, a weak story. Yeah they followed the formula, but watered it down some.

Overall, it wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't awful either. I did manage to watch it all the way through without stopping. If you're looking for them to recapture the magic of the first, dream on. If you've never seen the Crow, I don't suggest that you run right out and get this to get started; the first one is way better. Check it out at the rents, or better, buy it used.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: disapointing
Review: A disapointing sequel to the suprise hit of 1994.This movie should have not been made and I think that these 2 sorry films (the crow city of angels,the crow salvation) will come back to haunt Alex Proyas for years to come.
