This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

naturally this movie was not going to live up to the original which is a classic. But, it has its good points. the set up was done well with the murder of the man and son enhanced by good cinematography. I also think the landscape was done well creating a post apocalyptic feel. i think in my eyes the best scene was when the crow retrieves his son from the river and buries him which was enhanced by music from the original crow(best scene id say). the bad points for me was character based, the crow's dialogue and witty remarks i found were not effective. the villains (besides Iggy pop who i think did well) were portrayed weak and not in depth. Main bad point for me was a real weak ending where the crow summons crows to fly through him and destroy the immortal bad guy. thought that was i really poor written ending.I suppose as this was a sequel they couldn't make the concept as subtle as the first one without completely replicating it. still it was enjoyable to watch again after 14 years. probably wont be watching any time soon again tho.oh and at least it didn't have Tara Reid

I wish you could give negative ratings.This is awful, a film without redeeming features. Let's list them.Story - 100% copy Bad Guy - Pathetic Good Guy - An shambolic shadow of Eric Draven Aesthetics - not sure was too dark to see anything.The Crow is one of a few films I would give 10/10 to. As such it is obviously one of my all time favourites. This is my actual least fave film and it includes films I couldn't watch in their entirety such as the original Re-Hash of The Hulk or recently Barbarossa! There is no reason at all to watch this film. it's not camp and therefore funny. It is not ironic, self deprecating or even a decent stand alone flick. Its appalling.Watch something else

This movie is complex and slow and it is too much similar to the first one as the plot, a lot of scenes seem to be like copied from the first movie and pasted here. Same for the bad characters, they are too similar to the first one. One example could be Top Dollar and Judah, they are too similar in their conduct and in both the movies they immediately realize that; if they kill the crow, the human crow loses all his power. They already used it in the first Crow, it is not good to repeat such an important detail. But the thing that I don't like is the fight with Judah, i mean he is the evil character, one of the most important character in the movie and you wait for the fight from the first scene and they cannot do a thing like this, he had more difficulty to kill the gang's members. This seems to be something close quickly, you lose the movie's heart, that episode has been the main factor of my decision to the 5 to this film. Maybe if they did this scene better it could be a good sequel. I think this is the reason why everybody knows the first Crow with Brandon Lee but a few know about its sequels.

aaah, the crow city of angels. bad acting, poorly choreographed fight scenes, s&m gimps, men with prettier hair than the ladies, men kissing each other and lots of "okay, why did that just happen?" moments. what not to like? the only Strong point to this movie would probably be its set design. other than that its damn near unbearable. have you ever been somewhere at night or on a cloudy day and saw a guy rocking dark sun glasses? you think to yourself "what a total douche!" but you know in his mind, he's totally cool. thats the vibe i get from this movie. the movies far to overkill with the goth thing and it doesn't work. it did in the original crow. but this one feels like its just trying way too hard. then we have Vincent Perez. wooden and just not as interesting to watch as Brandon lee and makes the character boring. plus the whole 1970's looking feathered out haircut just drains any intimidation factor to the crow and makes him look plain comical. to put it simple, i wish i didn't even watch this mess.
