Summary: WHAT THE **CK IS GOING ON AROUND HERE
Review: oh my god did they make a mess of them selves man, one rule, you dont make a sequel to a huge hit that the orignal man died while making the film, its not right, my god did they do a bad thing, a bad thing two years after the movie, MAN. Perez is so boring I wanted the badguys to kill him again and again and again, he was horrible in this movie. Eric Mabius in Salvation did a better job then he did but not better then Lee because Lee will rock the space time continium. fans will like it or not like it or like me, hated the crap and spat on it. Brandon Lee will always be the best Crow, long live Eric Draven

Summary: Sequals
Review: I am a fan of the first installment of the Crow Trilogy, so I felt, why not go out and rent the second one. Everybody always says that sequals will never be as good as the originals. In this movies case, I believe they should have stuck with only the first one. The plot was alright, but the acting and casting, downright unworthy of the release rack. After seeing this move I made a promise never to watch another sequal.

Summary: Totally wrong
Review: Okay, you're asking me, "why did you give a Crow movie a 1?"well, all I can say about it is that it [stunk]. There was one fighting scene, and that really didn't live up to all the "fighting for justice" thing that The Crow set for the rest of them. and the follow up, trying to stay in the spotlight of the first was tacky. It was alright, but it really didn't follow the realness of The Crow. I didn't really take to Ash anyway. I could more relate to Eric. There was also the fact of there was a bit too much information when it came to the clubs. And they really didn't have to add some of the things at the end. I didn't like it. [sorry for the spoilers there...] It's not just because I am a major Brandon Lee fan, and I know no one can beat an original, but I know that Vincent Perez was almost there in the whole thing about walking in his shadow and succeeding, but he wasn't quite there. *Shrugs~ so maybe you have a different opinion, but this is mine.

Summary: Keep an open mind
Review: Now let's set the record straight. I like Brandon Lee as much as the next guy, but everyone say the Crow was better. I will say this as far as the bad guys are concerned. You have my vote on the first movie. Crow COA's bad guys were stupid except Kalie, she was a worthy "bad girl." There others were unrealistic and silly and that took away from the movie. Now the COA's crow, Vincent Perez, lost it! As in, his elevator don't go to the top floor. Being a parent and if I lost my son I'd lose it too. He had a emotionless look every time he killed a bad guy. It was like, he was this really nice guy, but after this. He'd never be the same again. Brandon Lee was at his best in the Crow, but he was just plain mad. Then Brandon's character was hacked up as far as the comic book is concerned, all those who read it, knows. Brandon has all the moves with the martial arts, but his character didn't seem too disturbed. He was just mad that someone wizzed in his cornflakes. In fact, he really didn't seem to act like a ghost like Perez did. Bradon seemed like he was the same person before he died. Perez basically haunted the bad guy before he killed him. For example, he crashed through a skylight and says"just the corpse of a familar face." Then toys with him before he kills him. Perez has a darker side than Lee does. The COA had motorcycles in the movie. The COA had a Ducati and a Harley. Those who ride knows these are the two most respected bikes around. Both sounds nice when rolling down the street. The original Crow had to foot it all the time, unless he rode with the police,lol. I know most people hates this movie, because Brandon Lee is not in here. What were you expecting him to do an oncore? Well, if you want Brandon Lee don't see this movie, but if you like the Crow as in comic book. You'll like this one, trust me.

Summary: Gotta Like Crow
Review: You really have to be a Crow fan to like this one. (Not a Brandon Lee fan) I think most people went to see this movie because of the Brandon Lee hype that it had to follow. They forgot that this truly does follow along with the story line. The Crow isn't the same person everytime. I don't think it would have worked to use Brandon Lee as Ash because it is always confusing to use the same actor in a sequal if it isn't the same character being played, and with Lee's untimely death, it prevented that from ever becoming a problem. They needed someone new and fresh, Vincent Perez worked just fine. He was the outraged spirit out to seek revenge and is distracted by the, now grown, lovely Sara. This falls in very well with the Crow idea. The music is harsh, but fits the content of the movie very well. I have seen worse video-like movies.

Summary: The Crow is cool!
Review: I loved this movie. The most talented actress of all time is in it. Meet Ms. Beverley Mitchell. She is a beautiful and talented actress who plays Grace. She has also been in Sinatra and Killing Obsession. I think that this showed her at her best work! Keep up the good work, Beverley!!

Summary: Maybe not angels, but not the devil, either!
Review: City of Angels is the first Crow film I saw; I followed the comic a long time ago, and thought the movie captured the ambiance of human and urban decay with the sets, lighting, and "crowfitti" slathered all over the place. I was confused by the change of victim to Draven's son, and it would have helped to know the villian was agorphobic. The acting was weak; Iggy Pop is as menacing as the recently departed Keith Richards (Whaddaya mean he's not dead?). The S&M scenes puzzled me for a while until I realized even something as cruelly intense as pouring boiling wax on a woman's nipples was depersonalized in this setting; it made Draven's thirst for vengence by contrast human, as opposed to the villian who left rubber hooded women to moan in solitary bondage, unconnected to the rest of the world. My main complaints are the too-predictable, seemingly endless fight between the Crow and his nemesis at the end of the film, but the seeming ease with which he defeats the throwaway minions, and the foregone end of Sara.

Summary: City of Angels is not meant to replace Brandon Lee...
Review: I think that is the main reason why some people say they didn't like the film. The Crow-City of Angels is not meant to take the place of the first Crow film. It simply carries the idea to another story; a different story. Brandon Lee is not being replaced. Instead, another chapter opens with the character of Ash, played by Vincent Perez. Perez offered a very emotional performance. Unlike the first one, where the character of Eric Draven is mainly angry, the character of Ash is mainly sad. He has a vulnerability that the audience can really feel. When he and his son are murdered, Ash comes back to "make the wrong things right while the crow shows him the way." Instead of hunting down and immediately killing his murderers, he haunts them, offering a bittersweet revenge. The first Crow is great, however, the second offers more emotion and more complex acting. If you are a true fan of the Crow legacy, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like this film. I highly recommend it:)

Summary: Choose death over this movie!!!!!!
Review: This has got to be one of the biggest peices of (...) to ever come out. This "movie" is the equivalent of being punched (...) by an elephant for 5 straight days. Strongest possible recomondation to avoid. Trust me "if it only (...), I'd tell you to rent it".

Summary: Hmmmm....I don't think so...
Review: The only good thing about this movie: Iggy Pop. Stick with the Kitchen Sink and Caliber Press comics and the original Brandon Lee movie. They're actually really good. This new stuff that's coming out...ugh. IT'S DISGUSTING!
