The Crow

I watched it recently and couldn't remember why I loved it so much when I was younger.

Its got some cheesy acting.

It's cool and dark for a comic book movie. The acting isn't very good, but it's got some great action scenes and some cool stylized stuff. Just go in expecting a fun ride, and you should be ok.

thanks, yall. now i wont be disappointed

i searched and was really surprised not to find a thread on it, how far back does the search go?

I gave it an eight out of ten. It's a pretty good action flick. Good director(he also did Dark City), better cinematography than a lot of comic movies(Dariusz Wolski also did Romeo Is Bleeding & Dark City), lot of bands I liked on the soundtrack.


The only problem I had with it was The Crow as well as Interview With The Vampire both came out in 1994 and that's what started all this goth shite. Every freak kid at school thought he was a goth or a vamp that year.

it was a good movie. but just remember when it was made. it won't be up to todays standards.

How so? The 90s is a better movie decade than the 00's. I'd put up movies from 1994 over anything that came out this year.

not visually.

and seems like there were a lot of cheesy acting during those times.

i really only say this because i remember really liking the crow, but then when i go back to watch it now i am like, umm really?

Maybe in terms of special effects and quality film stock but as for as cinematography that depends on the movie. There's plenty of movies out today with terrible cinematography and there were quite a few that were rather impressive in the 90s.

There's a lot of cheese acting out today. There's a lot of cheese acting in any decade it really just depends on the movie.
Anyway we agree The Crow, good but by no means anywhere close to great.

you are probably more into movies than i am.

He actually died filming this scene

Quite a shame. I think he could have been one of the best action movie stars ever. If you have never seen this other one... check it out...


I think it shows some real unique fighting and martial arts stuff.

Yea its ok. Its worth watching, but more of an oh hey its on usa and i have nothing to do movie. The Brandon Lee aspect makes it alluring enough to watch. Half because he died in filming in it...and half because he's Bruce Lee's son (and Bruce Lee was the man).
