It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Well, I agree with the score that this is one of the worst superhero movies ever made. This is what I get for skipping the bad ones having to watch them for later. You'd assume that since this was a sequel to "The Crow" it would feature the Crow from the first movie. No, this focuses on a brand new character and it's mostly just a really bad retelling of the original film. This is labeled a sequel, but it did not follow the original story at all. Everything was just so stupid in this movie.The Crow doesn't appear with makeup until a third into the movie. That's kind of annoying with a film that's a sequel and isn't supposed to be an origin story. The makeup is horrible in this. I don't think he even had any on at the end. I remember how unique and effective the makeup in the original film was and am stunned at how hideous this is. The slow motion used in this film is extremely distracting too. It comes off as silly and obnoxious. At least "Howard The Duck" had the excuse of being the first theatrically released Marvel movie.We keep seeing flashbacks to stuff that was already in the movie and it adds nothing to the plot. First, it's in red except for one time where it's green. Then it's normal colored. Then it's yellow? There's a scene where a priest takes his shirt off and dances in slow motion to heal a crow. I was just so perplexed at this. Then this guy becomes the Devil and his wife stabs him but then she didn't mean it or something? I had no clue at all what was going on in this movie at all. It was a horrible looking film with terrible acting and one of the worst of its kind. *

The title of this atrocity should have been "The Movie That Killed A Franchise"! Are you kidding me? One great movie - and then a pretty good sequel - and then a not so good, but still interesting second sequel - and then finally - this vile thing? REALLY??? Devolution at it's absolute worst...David Boreanaz as the arch villain in a Crow movie? That's about as logical as casting Jack Black as James Bond. Talk about attempting an "oil and water" mixture. Also, Tera Reid had absolutely no business being in a movie like this, after all - it's devoid of cheerleaders - and there are no Frat houses full of drunken National Lampoon extras. A genuine "Fish out of water" type of situation to be sure. The casting on this toilet flush must have been suggested by somebody who was deliberately bent on ruining a movie before it was even entirely off of the drawing board - no doubt a desperate act of revenge more gruesome than any Crow movie could ever have portrayed to begin with. At least somebody could have been merciful enough to have taught Danny Trejo how to do a half way decent native American dance for crying out loud - instead of looking as if he were attempting an Orangutan impersonation. This traffic accident was to the memory of Brandon Lee - as burning the U.S. flag is to the Veterans of Foreign Wars association.This film was not in keeping with the "Crow tradition", in that it was not at least a marginally well done, moody, atmospheric, eerie tale of an otherworldly instrument of karmatic payback - but was instead written as if it were a story made up by third graders over a cafeteria table at lunch. it was childish and silly - not moving and involving. I've seen deeper, more exciting Burger King commercials.Edward Furlong was actually creepy and passively interesting enough to have made a pretty good "Crow", but unfortunately he was far too bogged down by idiotic writing, poor direction, lousy stunt choreography, derivative costuming, horrible production values, and a sheepish budget to have effectively gotten any revision of the character properly off of the ground. A very sad thing. I think that he may have been able to go places with this character - had his creative vehicle been slightly better than a rusted out junker with four flat tires.The entire movie seemed like it was written and shot in a single afternoon. A real disappointment - and a bad way to end a running theme. The funding for this movie would have better been spent if it were used for building a Putt Putt golf course. To call this movie merely "silly", is to give it far too much credit.

What happens when a group of well established actors simultaneously give the worst performance of their careers? Oh, that's right...this movie. Not only did this film prove that even good actors can give bad performances, but it also showed that people who do not have any place in the acting world can still find work. Edward Furlong, who in my opinion was a poor choice to begin with, could not even pass for Brandon Lee's uncool younger brother. Furlong's character was not only very one dimensional, but frankly, kind of a wuss. There was very little character development and he never seemed to grasp how a person who comes back from the dead to avenge a murder should act.Tara Reid and David Boreanaz were equally disappointing...but I never really set the bar very high for them. Dennis Hopper...well if he ever acts in a film that requires his character to say shorty, homie, cracker jack, or O.G, I will completely disown him as an actor. He literally looked like an aged Vanilla Ice on screen trying far to hard to give a performance that simply wasn't doable. Oh, and did I mention that letting Tito Ortiz act is less responsible than giving a small child a handgun?While watching this film I found myself wondering why Furlong had super strength and leaped like a spider monkey. I do not remember Brandon Lee possessing these abilities, and he was still far superior to Furlong.The ending was predictable, the cast's performance was unbearable, and yet I could not give it a one rating. In this film's defense, I did not approach the ending credits wishing I had the ninety nine minutes of my life back...much. The plot could have been worse, and the cars the four horsemen drove were all pretty bad-ass. Other than that, I would say that this film could not pass for a college student's rushed work. To sum it up in a nutshell, this film may have caused the collapse of the US economy.

Like all fans of the original Crow movie, I've learned not to expect anything good out of the sequels. Despite what some people say, ALL of the sequels have been awful. But this one is the worst by far. I have nothing good to say about this movie. That's right, nothing. Here's why the movie is absolutely dreadful.1. Edward Furlong looks like an emo version of the Crow. Seriously, when he put on the make-up I almost laughed. At that point, I knew this movie was going to be dreadful. Just look at the pictures yourself. You might as well have Justin Timberlake play the Terminator.2. Throughout the movie I kept asking myself "Could this movie possibly get any more lame?". The answer every single time was a resounding "Yes, yes we can".3. While I definitely hated the bad guys and wanted them to perish, I wanted the same for the Crow. No seriously, I was hoping that the Edward Furlong Crow would die and that the police would kill off the bad guys instead. Tara Reid would have been a better Crow and Edward Furlong.4. Satan. Satan himself is portrayed in this movie. No really. That's the point of the movie. One of the main bad guys is trying to become Satan himself. This movie and portrayal of Satan would have been torture for Satan himself to watch. Once Satan's character entered the movie, I wanted to drink arsenic and just end it all.5. In this movie, the characters will do something incredibly stupid and then explain it afterwards. It's like the director had the characters do random evil acts and then rewrote the script every time they did something. It was like a "write as you go" type movie.Summary: I only watched this movie because I loved the first Crow movie. Don't do what I did. You won't get back that hour and a half of your life. This movie should never ever been made.
