Nah, City of Angels was actually pretty good. It only seems crappy because...well...it's compared to the original. Salvation is almost unwatchable, even if it was not a Crow title, and was never compared to the original, it would still blow chunks of ass and paper. Unlike City of Angels which, as stated, is pretty good when you don't compare it to the original Crow.

That's hogwash, I don't know what the hell they're talking about, this film 🤘 hard. One of the best cinematic adaptations of a comic series. Director Alex Proyas did a great job of setting a very dark, haunting and brooding tone throughout this movie which is mostly centered around sadistic revenge. So much so, that if I remember correctly this movie came out during Halloween. The action was real and in your face holding nothing back. I remember really feeling for Draven as a character and the fact that Brandon Lee died during the making of this film added to the remorse. You really feel for him because you feel like he was on his way to becoming the next big action star but unfortunately he'd succumb to his father's curse or at least that's what some believe and shared in his fate. I also thought Michael Wincott played a great villain in this movie.
The sequels are all garbage, and I think it was a disrespect to Lee that they continued, it should've been left as one film, but there goes greedy hollywood for ya? 🙄
