Loved It! Great Job!!!.......2007-08-19

I loved this movie. It's all about perspective. The love story touched my heart and the chemistry between Boreanaz and Furlong's charachters was awesome. Many people make judgments from a very narrow-minded view of expectation. My outlook comes by simply watching this movie as an entity in and of itself, without thinking that this better be here and that better be there, or it will suck. There is a definite interesting tone here that will be missed by the over-judging skeptic... and that would be a shame, since it really proves for an entertaining ride when allowed to be enjoyed to its fullest. And for the main character, Eddie Furlong makes for a wonderful Crow... Looks, acting, the whole bit... Job well done!

If there were a couple things I could really change, though, it would be to clarify two things: First, the explanation of what actually happened to precious Brewster, Jimmy's beloved dog. I think it is insinuated that Brewster ran off (after not recognizing Jimmy and fearing The Crow) and was ultimately taken in by someone else in the community, but it is never actually expressed and leaves it as a bit of a question mark... And Second, express why Jimmy and Lily never told anyone in the community the reason he killed the guy.

That aside, it is definitely worth the money to buy and time to sit back and immerse oneself in. I am very glad to add this to my DVD collection.

Top 5 worst movies of all time........2007-03-08

This movie is awful, I still can't believe I paid money for it. I want the last two hours of my life back! The good; The concept was really cool, it had real potential and David Boreanez was great. The Bad; The storyline was terrible, aimless and not really cohesive. The acting was awful... the casting was just as bad. The soundtrack wasnt bad but could have been much better, like it didn't quite do the job. The writing and directing was what really made this movie a winner. It was like someone handed the story to a 14 year old kid with no vision. BAD BAD BAD. The really sad thing is this could have been a really great movie, and no, budgeting wasnt the problem. The fight scenes were ok, its just the rest was ridiculous, it just needed half their actors replaced and a director with much more talent. Really a shame.

Did they set out to make a bad movie........2007-02-07

Let me say that I am a big fan of B movies, but this didn't even make that high of grade! The plot was confusing and I never came to care about any of the charecters. Save your money, hit your head against a wall you get get more enjoyment out of that.

Crow movies mixed into one..........2007-01-22

All in all, this movie did not reach out and grab me like the Crow movies of old. It fails to produce a feeling of realism....too much sex talk, too little action...Looking forward to the next one, if there is one...

this film is being highly un-recognized.......2007-01-16

If you were going into this film thinking it's going to be as great as the first one then you'll probably end up disappointed. I've seen alot of bad reviews on this film but this film of all the Crow films is only one that shows any depth to the villains! The story is believeable, the problem is the low budget that made the fight scenes kinda phony cause they could've been alot more realistic & the dance to revive the crow was a little weird but it suited the film none-the-less! another part of the problem was Luke(David Boreanaz) channelling Satan towards the end of the film, his acting started to get over-the-top but thankfully, it didn't last too long. & Dennis Hopper was also a mis-cast here delivering gangsta lingo that doesn't suit the film at all. however, there is alot to like about this film at the same time! unlike the rest of the films, we get flashbacks of Luke's & Lola's(Tara Reid) life, showing why they would be doing the things they are doing now!

Now to the plot: After mining shaft is shut down to build a casino, gang members decide to take revenge & the lead member(Luke) looks to literally raise hell! The protagonist in this film, Jimmy Cuervo(Furlong) is anything but a hero. an ex-con who murdered a guy who was trying to rape Jimmy's girlfriend when in his teens. He is hated by many in town except for Lily(Emmanuelle Chriqui) who sees the good inside of him & is the only thing that keeps him from remaining sane throughout the film! if not for Lily, Jimmy himself would probably be aiding Luke in causing terror around the town. One day, Jimmy goes to propose to his girlfriend when Luke & Lola show up and murder the two of them for a ritual that will help Lola see the future and like Lily used to, she can see the good & bad in people! Luke, on the other hand, becomes amazingly powerful through this ritual. shortly after, Jimmy is revived by the Crow & is deeply torn. He doesn't want to be alive, he wants to be with Lily. the first thing he does is try to kill himself but finds himself invinceable. so with nothing left to do, he decides to take his revenge against Luke & save many lives that Luke is planning to take. but he'll need some help after Luke kills the crow that's keeping him here.

the acting: Edward Furlong- He has the best role here and delivers a powerful performance as Jimmy/The Crow! I think he saved the movie for the most part as he delivered a few good lines that were spot on!

David Boreanaz- Falls apart with his Satan channelling like I said above but the majority of the film is does an excellent job conveying the good & bad in Luke! he shows real depth though not as good as he was on Angel, he does a fine job!

Tara Reid- People should give her credit for trying something different! I thought she did a fine job cause her character shows alot of depth throughout the story! I don't know why anyone doubts her talent here, most of the people I talked were surprised how good she was! I didn't expect anything from so this was a definite surprise!

Emmanuelle Chriqui- Owns this film! without her, Edward's performance wouldn't have meant so much. the two of them can balance out and hold the film together for some of the best scenes in this film have the two of them in it! She's a hell of an actress and does an excellent job conveying the heart & soul her character needed! she shows true passion for the role! too bad I couldn't say the same about the next actor.

Dennis Hopper- I said it before, I'll say it again: No to the gangsta lingo. wasn't his choice but still, out of place, it was just ridiculous.

Macy Gray- Brief & unimportant role in this film. she's not very good either. thank God her role doesn't last more then a minute, otherwise, I would've hated this film.

The rest of the cast is virtually unknown's, to me anywayz. they are all fairly convincing!

The Soundtrack- Ok, this film is set in the desert. would be so ridiculous to have rock tracks in this film. wouldn't suit it at all. instead, they have all instrumental, very unique music that suits the setting perfectly! I'm actually disappointed they didn't have a soundtrack for this movie.

anywayz, I think the acting, the settings, the soundtrack & for the most part, the plot, held this film together! the plot in this film, mine closed to build a casino brings depth to the film that makes everything in this film seem more real! this is a good film, might not be everyone's cup of tea but cause of the low budget and the stupid Luke zooming everywhere toward the end of the movie, it looks worse then it is and people therefore will give it a low rating. but there's alot to like about and I DO RECOMMEND it!
