The Crow (2024)

I don't get why they had to do Eric Draven again, There's been other people that have been The Crow

originality is too hard for Hollywood these days.

Critics are eviscerating this movie.

Can’t say I’m surprised.

Remaking the drastically overrated will bring about expected results just like this. The missing secret ingredient was to kill the star on set. If Brandon Lee survived, he might have gone on to do great things, and ironically everyone would struggle to remember the silly 90's goth movie with massive forced-hype backing from the music industry

🙄

Yeah critics are having a field day with this. Always thought the first was overrated.

Emo wrist cutters believe the first film is a messiah calling.

Yeah, a few years ago I tried to rewatch the original and I found I didn't really have the patience for it. It does seem a bit overrated.

OMG! This film is amazing! Kill Bill 1&2 meets Goodfellas meets The Godfather 2 with a heavy Kurosawa influence! 11/10

should i watch free of charge

Relax man, it’s not like this is a Marvel movie. 🙂

I quite like the OG movie, Still holds up

can't say the same about this new movie the way its being received by critics. Seems like going to be forgotten about similar to the Robocop remake.

You're the second to make the 2014 Robocop remake connection, Kazenji. I heard the comparison on Reddit as well: that this is a decent-enough remake, but won't be received well enough by critics or audiences nor make enough money to be remembered.

I think The Crow and Dark City are two excellent films by Alex Proyas. I would always catch parts of the original Crow on TNT or MTV or whatever cable channel they played it on back in the day, and this movie is near the top of my list for want-to-see films for this year. I also thought Rupert Sanders' 2017 Ghost in the Shell was a good film, around a 7-7.5/10 flick, so I actually was pumped to find out he directed this Crow remake.

Hoping Rob's review isn't hyperbole above haha.

Oh I didn't realize it's the director of Ghost in The Shell. I actually rather liked that and wished it had done well enough to get a sequel.

I know the director has previously said its sticking closer to the comic, That might be good and all but the movie itself still needs to be good too.

Ya man, Ghost in the Shell got criticized way too harshly, I thought it was a really solid film. He did Snow White and the Huntsman (okay), Ghost in the Shell (really good), and now The Crow 2024. His directing style is excellent for effects-heavy movies, it immerses me in the action scenes and the story; funnily enough, reminds of Blade and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's Stephen Norrington, who was long-rumored to direct this Crow remake. Just solid, well put together action-fantasy or sci-fi flicks. Hope he keeps getting work.

Yep, gotta make a good movie. I'm hoping this is another case of critics being too, well, critical, and audiences just skipping out, but the movie itself is still pretty good.

Careful, your opinion is upsetting someone

I remembering enjoying the original back in the theater, even a rewatch maybe a couple years later on VHS.

No idea how it's aged though.

…says The Crow underperformed Borderlands and is the biggest flop of 2024 so far.

I actually want to see Borderlands eventually.

2 weeks ago Borderlands was the worst movie of the year.

2 weeks later this is.

Lol

I tried to watch Borderlands, but turned it off after 10 mins, pure shit. Then I watched The Crow, was slow and awful. Dosed off for about 30 mins, woke up and didn't bother watching the last 20 mins.

Dang, that bad Rob? I'll catch it on streaming eventually, such a disappointment if that's the case after years of back-and-forth on this remake.
