The Crow: City of Angels

Rating:
Summary: Um, Yeah..
Review: The only thing this pathetic film has in common with the first 'Crow' film is the name - And it insults that name. Stupid plot and stupid acting make it a complete disaster. Avoid this thing.

Rating:
Summary: Sadly disappointed
Review: Maybe if they had slapped another name on this very obviously B flick I could have watched it. But, having the name The Crow on it, I expected the same quality as the original. It was not there! It was a dark drama, but the story just never clicked. It just seemed to be a quick rip off hoping to bank on the cult following established by The Crow with Brandon Lee. I would recommend renting this to see if you can sit through it before wasting the money to buy it.

Rating:
Summary: a joke
Review: This movie is a disgrace to the movie name The Crow. They should of stopped after making the first one.

Rating:
Summary: My favorite movie
Review: This movie really made me want to see those guys die because of the way that they killed a five your old boy. It made me actually hate those thugs. I cant wait until the crow salvation comes out, that will be great.

Rating:
Summary: Great movie
Review: I liked this movie better than the first one because it made me want to see the people who killed ashe and his son die. It almost made me cry. I guess the way that they killed a 5 year old boy made me more mad than seeing them kill two grown up people.

Summary: Good sequel, better movie.
Review: Good screenplay, great cinematography. Yes, The Crow was a good movie, yes, a sequel won't be as good, but City of Angels does a great job. Those who complain about the similarity (face paint, crow symbols) have missed something-THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME THEME AS THE CROW. Tying the first movie into the second one via Sarah was an interesting idea. Although it loses some momentum at the very end, it is still enjoyable. If you want to complain about a travesty of The Crow, see The Crow:Stairway to Heaven. After watching that, you won't complain about this one.

Summary: Good idea ... horrible execution
Review: The weird thing about this movie is that I disliked it more out of frustration then quality (which is still poor ... don't get the wrong idea). I actually liked that idea the each movie that comes out would have it's own unique spin. Sometimes I find that the problem with sequels is that the whole movie seems forced in a way. So going into the movie, for a moment or two, I'm feeling this sequel has the potential to be better than the first Crow. Unfortunately everyone on this movie seemed to just drop the ball and after the first twenty minutes any momentum Goyer's story had gained disintegrates into same revenge-o-rama that was found in the first movie. And for all his luscious command of texture, Pope cut his teeth making music videos - and it shows. He pads the now-uneventful story with at least three. There's the "Just Discovered I'm The Crow and I Think I'll Ride My Motorcycle" video. There's the "Here's L.A. By Night, Sort of Looks Like Blade Runner" video (a perennial hit with many sci-fi directors). And there's the "I Want To Fall in Love With You But I Think I'll Ride My Motorcycle Instead" video. Despite the fact that the soundtrack includes music by Hole, Filter, Bush, White Zombie, Seven Mary Three, P.J. Harvey and N.Y. Loose, these sequences are cotton wadding for the mind. The movie, in the end, is even less - and that's a pity. The first Crow was undone by circumstances beyond anyone's control. Brandon Lee (son of Bruce, and around whom it was hoped they could build a series) was accidentally shot to death during a stunt, and the film released was pasted together from the action sequences, which were most of what they'd managed to film. Here, with Perez - visually, a virtual double for Lee- they had an opportunity to give a fascinating idea for a franchise a proper launch, and they've blown it.

Summary: Sequel?
Review: Sequel? Doesn't feel right... If it was going to be a sequel, it should have been directed by the same person. A different director gave the movie a different mood and direction altogether. Don't watch the movie thinking that it's a sequel... I mean... just watch it like it's a movie itself and it will be so much better. Afterall, the title is The Crow: City of Angels, and not The Crow II: whatever.

Summary: Why does everyone hate this movie so much?
Review: Something truly special about a movie you can watch, not even have to absorb...but experience the beautiful scenes and music and emotions glowing from the characters and still be left spellbound...

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely horrible.
Review: This was a very weak sequel to the original story. As many others have commented, this was simply a rehash of the original story, but with a poorly written screenplay, no character development, and poor overall execution. This should never have been made.
