many ppl i know have seen "The Crow", and thts the original with Brandon Lee, and have said its rubbish, and is only so popular becuz of the Death of Brandon lee during filming.
i was just wondering wat other ppls veiws were on the film...
Amazing - nobody has opened a Crow thread before. Nice call Alice.
I was a huge fan of the original Crow comic book so KNEW that they were going to screw this film up. Then when Brandon died and I heard that they had to film round him and use a double for some scenes I KNEW it was going to suck even harder.
Despite the fact that they changed it from a "simple" morality tale featuring a dead guy to a much more spooky/magic plot I have to give it up - the film was dynamite. Brandon Lee may not have been the best actor the world ever saw, but he loved that part and it shows. His death gives the film a morbid mystique and made him an icon: but that doesn't change the apart from, and not dependant on, all that fact that the film is a great little movie.
im a fan of the film.
Brandon Lee did really love the part and as u said it really does show he gave the role everything he had.
the stroryline is good and at the time pretty original.
but i feel the tragedy surrounding the film shadows the actors and the film itself.
The second one actually wasn't so bad, but compared to the first it was crap. The third should not be spoken of, ever. What the **** where they thinking...
I have some hopes for this next one coming out, but I don't expect much from it, as it will be compared to the original...which can't be beaten.
