Dark and beautiful. Perfect movie for devils night.
In my opinion, it's perfect.
I originally rated this masterpiece at 4 1/2 but after a few days with it being stuck in my head. It's a solid 5/5
Great movie to watch at night
Still one of my all time favorite films. I was in my early 20’s when I first saw this in theaters… Brandon Lee was a treasure that was certainly stolen from us far too soon.
Great! All the more impressive given offscreen events.
The awful behind the scenes stuff with lead Brandon Lee was all that I knew about 'The Crow'; I only learned it was a superhero flick in the lead-up to watching it, I had always assumed it was a straight up horror. No better time to watch it, what with the reboot out now... gotta see the sequels first!
There is a strong performance from Lee in there, Ernie Hudson is also someone I enjoyed in this. The rest of those onscreen are all positives, namely Rochelle Davis and Michael Wincott. I don't have any real complaints with this as a film, the feel is aesthetically, audibly and tonally spot on - plenty of Evanescence/Bring Me to Life and Gotham City vibes.
I've probably seen this movie a dozen times or more. It came out when I was in highschool. We had the soundtrack on repeat for weeks. It's a great movie even to this day. Dark, gritty and sad. The fact that Brandon died makes it even harder to watch. I imagine he had quite a future ahead of him.
He always smile
Brandon Lee did a great job his mimic art is just amazing The Story is good enough for me. Revenge is always a good movie plot.
"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."
The Crow is just such an awesome looking film. The whole atmosphere is dark but dark in a great way. I love Brandon Lee in this as Erick Draven. I love way he looks as the Crow. I really enjoy the soundtrack and I love the way they went with this revenge story.
I have never read the comic it is based on but I am very interested in it but what I have read here and there this is one of the best comic book movies of the 90s. Which sound great, I love the film how can I not love the comic it was inspired by?
Anyway we will never know how Brandon Lee's career would have panned out or how the Crow would be viewed on without the incident but I think that it would still be received as a very good film and still loved today.
