Summary: worthy of 6 stars
Review: in the first and best of the series is brandon lee. it is very sad that brandon died during the filming of this, in a scene where fun boy shoots him against a door(not in movie). it is the darkest of the seris and more realistic. it has a good storyline and is deep down a true love story. i think you should buy it someday because you wont regret it.

Summary: The Crow
Review: The night before their wedding, aspiring rock musician Eric Draven and Shelly Webster are brutally attacked by vicious criminals. Eric is shot and thrown out the window. Shelly is raped, beaten and later dies. Now, one year later, Eric has been brought back by a mysterious crow to avenge the murders and set the wrong things right.Easily one of the greatest films of the 90s and one of the top comic book films ever made. The script is top notch, the lighting is wonderful, the mood is right on target and the music is so moving. Brandon Lee gives the greatest performance of his career. He's very moving and powerful with his dialogue. It's such a shame that he died. Ernie Hudson is also wonderful. Michael Wincott is a great villan. Don't miss performances by Tony Todd and a great supporting cast. R.I.P Brandon Lee. We miss you.

Summary: grim, uninspired and boring
Review: "The Crow" is an unremittingly grim and witless movie about revenge. Set in a decayed horror of a city (imagine LA of "Blade Runner" without the huge futuristic buildings and the flying cars) that is supposed to be some horrific cross between Newark and Detroit, "Crow" returns a murdered musician's vindictive soul to seek vengeance for his death and the horrific rape-murder of his fiancee. Eric Draven was supposed to marry on Holloween. His wife to be was a community activist seeking to end the reign of terror of an insane arch-criminal named "Top Dollar" - a brutal yet well-spoken thug who burns the city down every year on "Devil's Night", the fiery eve before Halloween. Brought back the very next year, Draven is now impervious to harm (he's already dead) and led to his victims by his avatar - a crow. Each of his victims dies in the order and manner in which they ended his life. Along the way, Eric will meet the young and tough Sarah and save her heroin-addicted mother. He will also continually run into a cop named Albrecht (Ernie Hudson). But it's Top Dollar who's Eric's main target. Though visually spectacular, the grim and thin story weighs the movie down. I'm not for dumbing down serious films, but "Crow" is simply grave without enough nuance for gravity. Draven is immortal - nothing can stop him, and he's got eternity to finish up Top Dollar's gang. Late in the film, Top Dollar's mystic and lover theorizes a vulnerability in Eric's link to the Crow, but by then, who cares? Eric has by then become a robot - "living" only to destroy Top Dollar's thugs - but they've got no identity of their own, and they're dead essentially the moment they appear. The only interesting villain (and the only interesting character in the whole flick) is Top Dollar himself. He struts across the film ready to snatch, possess and destroy it as much as he would the city. With his long hair and gravelly voice, Top Dollar gets the best lines in the flick. (When Eric and Dollar first meet, in a scene climaxed by Eric's sommersaulting onto a table - guns blazing - Top Dollar dismisses Eric, telling his hired guns that our hero is boring the ... out of him. The trouble is, he's right, and you begin to think the flick is shortchanging Dollar, not Eric). Worse, since Top Dollar's connection to Draven's murder is remote (he gave the orders he never saw carried out), and since Eric seems only capable of returning evil to the evil, there's little expectation of a big payoff. In that, the film does not disappoint. The script gets Top Dollar frightfully close to neutralizing Eric, but by then it's too late for the story to flesh out Eric's vulnerabilities and possibly have him work off the great but otherwise wasted Ernie Hudson.

Summary: Unsurpassable
Review: It's a shame that Brandon Lee wasn't able to experience true fame; this movie would've brought it to him. Throughout the entire movie there's a confusing mix of feelings - wanting to see him obtain revenge, wishing their was some justification for the wrongs done to him, and wondering what mysterious turn the plot will take next. The movie has excellent fighting sequences and wonderful directing. The way Brandon Lee could present himself as such an enraged person, the way he would talk to his victims before exacting his revenge upon them, how he didn't hesitate to do what was necessary, and how after the horrible events that took place a year before he was resurrected, he could still find redemption in his past-life memories. He even managed to twist in a moderate amount of comedy with his angry side, which is in my mind, true talent as an actor. I never knew he was Bruce Lee's son until several years after I saw the film, and even then I found out he had been killed during the making of it. Splicing the morbid atmosphere with a suspenseful rage-filled main character, out to bring justice to his killers, "The Crow" brings a touch of numerous emotions with every scene. Brandon Lee; may he rest in peace, and never be forgotten.

Review: I've had to put this movie on my to-buy list again, since my original copy is so worn out. I've seen this movie so many times that at one point I could quote it from beginning to end. The casting, the setting, the story itself- all brilliant. Brandon Lee is the definitive Eric Draven, Michael Wincott, playing Top Dollar, my favorite movie villain of all time. The movie, based around true love, focuses on Eric Draven's need to exact revenge on the people who destroyed the happiness of him and his wife-to-be, shelly. It's very powerful and, to this day, has the ability to make me cry.
