These drug addicts love story was crammed down our throats and dragged on for 45 minutes and are we were suppose to feel sympathy for them? 😂 The original only needed snippets of their time together, to convince us that they are in love and feel sympathy and pain for them.
Not to mention in the OG Shelly was tenants rights advocate who had started petition for better living conditions AND they were like adopted parents for sarah! Now those were some good people. Sorry not sorry but a couple of junkies who just met isn't the same.
It was hard not to think about OG Eric and Shelly while watching this new one. The 1994 version had such better characters, and getting to see moments of them happy together only made their deaths more tragic. This new couple was boring and I have no idea why they liked each other.
Best proof that "show don't tell" isn't always the golden road to go. Sometimes less is actually a lot more. I also don't want any Christiane F. story in my Crow movie!
I think why the original relationship between Eric and Shelly worked so well was both because many of those scenes were based on real moments between James O'Barr (the writer of the original comic) and his fiancé. But the briefness of them also adds a biitersweet trahedy to it. Like you wamt to see more of it, you want to see Eric and Shelly being cute and happy together. But you're reminded that Shelly was murdered, which helps put you in the same headspace as Eric. Like you want to see him kill the pieces of trash that killed them, making the gang members deaths more satisfying. Safe to say I'm never watching the remake, I think I'd cry and die of dehydration. I'll stick with the original
the horse scene is in the comic and it's a scene that, in that context, represents the terrible feeling of impotence that comes with a tragedy that you cannot prevent because you have no control over the situation, it basically mirrors the feeling that Eric felt when he saw his fiancé being brutalized in front of him with no power to stop it, which probably mirrors the feeling that the author, James O'barr, felt with the tragedy of his own dead fiancé, who was killed by a drunk driver, though in this movie which I haven't watched it yet, I don't know what's supposed to represent lol
Thanks for explaining this! That makes sense and I wish the film had fleshed that part of his character out more. The horse scene in the film is a brief snippet with no explanation, and it felt out of place.
The horse scene is from the comic, something to do with trauma, (might have been the catalyst for the 2024 version of Eric Draven to become an addict? Don't know, don't want to know, don't wanna suffer through this reboot. I love the original Brandon Lee version, one of my favorites. James O'barr wrote the comics, or at least the original crow, (I'm not as familiar with the comics as I am the 94' movie) after his wife got killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, so the comic and the later 94' movie were his way of processing the grief
As a recovered addict I can say with confidence. A drug addict is NOT a sympathetic person. Just from the synopsis of this film I can tell that very few people if any will relate to the "anti-hero" not to say Skarsgård isn't a good actor because he was great in IT chapters 1 & 2 & was very hateable in John Wick 4, but he is no Draven/Crow. Less said about FKA Twig's performance the better. I saw snippets of this film & every line she uttered sounded like she was mainlining Thorazine fitting given that the movie was centred around a dirty weekend with 2 junkies. 1994's The Crow is a movie that has stood the test of time even 30 years later, its look is iconic, not one of the sequels could match it, both from a look standpoint & from an ensemble cast of memorable characters topped off with the late great Brandon Lee.
I think there's a chance this might be one of those situations where they changed the story a lot after Skarsgard signed up and he was stuck doing the movie anyway. During production the studio changed the ending so they'd have one that was more open for a potential sequel, and Skarsgard has outright said that he doesn't like that they did that.
Hmm. I ponder whether you ever were an addict with that take. The lack of nuance is expected from those who just have not been there but to hear a recovering addict with such an icey take on addiction itself is...off putting (for the lack of a better term). Will any film ever replicate the depth of the original? Not in my opinion. That said, the gatekeeping of this graphic novel & the original film is just old at this point.
@@artemis2666 *How about this. You want nuance? A childhood friend went through personal trauma & rather than being there for him, I gave him an ultimatum if he wanted to stay under the same roof as me & my friend/supplier I got him hooked on heroin, cut to 2007 I was staying in a hostel where a guy on the cot next to me OD'd & passed away in a graphic fashion, I moved back home with my parents to get clean, days later that same friend I made an addict came to me for help, I gave him money to get food & a change of clothes to stay with me, (subconsciously I knew where that money would go) 3 days passed & I finally got off my ass to find him, finding myself at that same hostel where I was met with the frankly rude social worker I'd known whilst an occupant of this dwelling, she told me someone had been fished out of the harbour that very morning. Turns out it was my friend who I not only paid for his first hit but also his last. So don't you fucklng dare call me a liar because the fact is what I did & have seen others do proves there is no such thing as a sympathetic addict.*
@@artemis2666 *Sorry am I supposed to give a rundown on my history with addiction? Living on the streets by 15, in & out of hostels in my 20's. finally making something of myself in my early 30's. Yeah! I was and still am addict in many ways, there is no such thing as ex or former, there's recovering, recovery & relapse took me years to accept that despite all the evidence saying I was*
The film makers claim that it is an adaptation of the comic, but, that is an out-and-out lie. Aside from the names, it has NOTHING in common with O'Barr's comic.
My fan theory of the 1994 movie "The Crow" makes Sarah an essential character. My theory is that Eric and Shelley were brutally murdered and the story we see on screen is the story Sarah tells herself to cope with her grief. We have her narration, and other aspects of the film seem to make sense if this is a child's perspective. For example, Albrecht is surprisingly accepting of the idea Eric has come back from the dead. And Eric's reanimated corpse (if that's what he is) looks pretty fresh after a year. At the end of the movie, Eric's grave appears undisturbed. All of these things make sense if it is simply a story in Sarah's head. Anyway, I'd love to know what people think of my fan theory.
The horse is actually the one thing they seem to have taken from the comic, but in a totally half-assed way that completely misunderstands the part in the comic. In the comic there is something that seems like a dream sequence - Eric is in a train, looking at a white horse prancing around in a field. The Crow tells Eric not to look, but Eric keeps watching the horse being all carefree and happy - until it gets entangled in razor wire and dies. You get a close-up of the horse's face, and it has Shelley's eyes. The Crow tells Eric "You shouldn't have looked" and the scene ends. The horse represents Shelley, who was carefree and innocent, and who died horribly, while Eric was forced to watch. Now that is just my interpretation of it, and it is somewhat ambiguous if it is a memory of something that Eric actually saw happen, or if it is some hallucination or vision, but this is how I saw the whole sequence. What they made out of it in the movie just shows once more that they had no understanding of the actual story
Kronos was swapped for Skull Cowboy girl, is a spirit that serves as somewhat of a guide for the crow. He is a guide for all of the souls in the land of the living that find themselves in Limbo. as in the novels. he looks really scary and creepy asf. it should have been skull cowboy. but again, instead of doing their way, they could have do it with the source material. but nope.. also facts, he was cut from the og crow movie also, i dont remember the reason for that.
Skull Cowboy sounds like an awesome character! Wish they had kept that from the source material. The afterlife world is what I was most looking forward to seeing in this new version and it felt like a waste of potential.
@@KatsHorrorCorner cuz they didnt go with the material. My friend said , who is a big fan of the og movie and novels. Said he would watch it if they followed rhe novel. But they didnt. This was too obvious, targeted for modern audiences gen z. Sad , with the source material could have been a better movie.
You articulated so well why the old film works so well and why the reboot love story feels so constructed and hollow. Really love seeing appreciation for Top Dollar and Mycah too, they along with the four og bad guys truly stood as worthy and enjoyable enemies of Eric. Agree with expecting Nosferatu, I have high hopes for that, hope we can see Bill's range there.
I'd rather they made a movie about "The Darkness". Especially since recent adaptions of works with Garth Ennis' involvement proofed a success, for instance Preacher or The Boys. And Jackie Estacado's story isn't that different from Erik Draven's, but it would absolutely need modern CGI unlike The Crow and fits more for a John Wick like killing spree they love to copy so much lately
I was gonna say that, there's a lot of similarities between those two stories. What's really crazy is how different The Darkness games (especially the first one) are from the comics. The story in the games is equal parts tragic, beautiful, and horrific. There's a real sense of maturity to most of it. The comics though, while fun in their own right, are juvenile as fuck and scream 90's era comic writing.
I disagree that There's no horror in it. Definitely has horror elements in it, at the very least. I know I still get creeped out a couple times. Especially that bathroom scene. He's scary to me in that. The way he walks in that room, that look on his face, the way it's lit, dragging a body to the tub, creeps me out. I still feel like omg he might kill her ha When he's like Look! I'm like I don't wanna! & cover my eyes ha
You always get to movies before me 😂 fortunately I didn't have a huge interest in the Crow so here I am watching your video 😊 This does sound like a grim experience. Sounds like The Notebook meets The Joker with added depression. Love your reviews. You put a lot of effort into your reviews and it shows. Keep on growing ❤
100 mins long...and 90 of those are badly acted, badly written & blandly shot garbage. There is one 10 minute sequence in the opera house which is actually not bad at all. But it's too little too late! The leads have zero chemistry! Bill is a good actor, but surprisingly miscast here while FKA should stick to music because she's a terrible actress! The soundtrack doesn't suck, but the songs feel so randomly thrown in with little thought given to why they're there other than "it might make wake up us Goths"...AWFUL FILM OVERALL!
Long story short no the remake isn’t anything like the comic and I disagree with saying the 90s. Version didn’t have a strong story. But even if I thought it was a weak story I think the remake would make me redefine my description of strong story telling 😂
Thank you so much. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film because - I feel - this is a movie that shouldn't have been remade. Thank you for saving me money and time on this crap.
This movie is disrespectful to the original MGM Studios / Paramount Pictures version from 1994. This version will also be on the top of the worst movies of the year 2024 😞 What do you think Kat's?
I agree it's going to be considered one of the worst of the year. I do think it's trying to distance itself from the original movie. Unfortunately, while it had potential to introduce some interesting new ideas, the execution just fell flat.
Like how in Batman Liam Neeson played one character and he ended up being rajah ah ghoul and how in Batman the dark knight rises we followed and stayed with this cop the whole movie and the movie had us spending more time with him then Batman at times and he was really Robin and in the newest Batman they had the robin from titans playing a training thug for jokers gang and he was actually playing robin well this cronos character that is only called that on IMDb is actually the skull cowboy so instead of Rupert spoon feeding info he expects the fan base and non fans to know everything right see where I’m going with this he made a sequel to the TV movie and show and picked up the right after the show basically where Eric and Shelly were re born as drug addicts because Eric and Shelly broke a lot of rules
What is this critique I see about stories in movies being too simple. Unless a movie has sequels with continuity almost all movies have somewhat simple stories.
I actually don't think this was telling a simple story-there's a lot of elements it was throwing in there from drug addiction to supernatural stuff to organized crime. Much of this was to the film's detriment as it didn't really flesh out any of these elements. imo, the 1994 version took a more simple approach to its storytelling, but added more depth to the characters.
Seems like common mistake i hear about with this movie is watching the original before seeing this one! LOL I started on Bill from hemlock grove too!! (Hated that last season tho!!!) And i realized how sexy bill is in barbarian 🥰. I will wait for this is come out on hulu or prime (really soon I'm guessing) And p.s. i hate weddings but if i were i would love to do it in vegas with and elvis impersonator! Tell your friends I've been wanting to do it for so long but can't talk my s.o. into it! Ha ha
Lol! I didn't get to go to the wedding, but it looked like a blast from the photos! Apparently, there's so many different Elvis impersonators to choose from these days! 😂 Yeah, going from the original to this new version was a mistake!!
Ok... If you wanna a new story, then you should do it well. Here is my script: Eric is a fallen rock star, who is a drug addict. He cannot making music anymore cuz of his addiction. One night, he attempt an unsuccessful suicide. He end in a hospital which his "lovely shelly" working as a nurse. They meet. Eric start to feeling something. He try to change for Shelly. He is healing. Getting rid of his addiction and suicidal thoughts. Start to writing music again. But his dark past won't leave them alone. And one day "the bad guys" from his past (I don't know who they can be but we can figure it out), attack and kill both of them. The "lovely Shelly" died cuz of him 😔 he is angry but at the same time, feeling guilty for this. And return for revenge. etc etc..... Well, what is your scripts let's disscuss. How could we fix this story and righting the wrongs 🥸
I did not like it iether. Acting, dialouge, and visuals done right are all important. Editing..most independent..non big Hollywood productions are better..Big Hollywood movies are intended for a certain demographics..I am a different movie goer than wh we n I was 16 years old
I wanted to enjoy you ripping this piece of tripe but a narrator that uses "like" this and "like" that all over every sentence is a bit hard to listen to.
I sailed the seven seas and started this movie 40 mins in and it felt like I didn't miss a beat. The action scenes weren't as good as I'd hoped either. The best part of this movie was hearing Ozzy in the trailer
The black guy Eric kills in the car when shoots a hole though his stomach is the best character in the movie they show him at random times he is the one that actually kills Eric and that whole scene with the song and Eric walking and him telling him to turn the Song off is iconic your supposed to be on this drug journey your supposed to feel like your on drugs with Eric and Shelly I felt it the whole time you would understand that making a deal with the devil more in the tv show
And I really have to explain this the guy in the after life where the train and bridges and that factory building is that is the character skull cowboy from the comic he is a human form like in the mark show they put the name cronos so that way it would be a miss direct but he is the skull cowboy there is a lot in the movie where I was going this is the best of the series i have alot to say about it I really loved it a whole lot there was nothing that really took me out but in the show and TV movie mark did Shelly left heaven when she wasn’t supposed to to hunt for Eric and it just ends this is the aftermath of that and it very much plays out like the show would but we are following drug addict raving partying squatters and they never got to fully develop there relationship and that was ripped away from them completely and the crow choose to bring him back but the love wasn’t fully pure yet so he wasn’t able to fully heal regenerate and there was alot that made me laugh but these days you go to the movies and every one is dead silent so I have to sit there in fear of re acting to anything but I loved it
It's just old typical same old. But nowadays everyone is afraid to have any one be genuinely evil bc they think it'll insult the demo of who ever plays bad guy (ie. Woman, midget, albino, etc... ) ppl need to chill it's just a movie
This 🎦 was very important 2 me. Because the star of the 🎦 lived out one of my dearest dreams: he showed his bare rear end 4 the world. Someday I hope 2 also show my bare rear end 2 the world in a 🎦. Those who doubt me u will not deny the power of my rear end!

Greatest comment I seen on any review yet lol
These drug addicts love story was crammed down our throats and dragged on for 45 minutes and are we were suppose to feel sympathy for them? 😂 The original only needed snippets of their time together, to convince us that they are in love and feel sympathy and pain for them.
Not to mention in the OG Shelly was tenants rights advocate who had started petition for better living conditions AND they were like adopted parents for sarah! Now those were some good people. Sorry not sorry but a couple of junkies who just met isn't the same.

Best proof that "show don't tell" isn't always the golden road to go. Sometimes less is actually a lot more.

Like how in Batman Liam Neeson played one character and he ended up being rajah ah ghoul and how in Batman the dark knight rises we followed and stayed with this cop the whole movie and the movie had us spending more time with him then Batman at times and he was really Robin and in the newest Batman they had the robin from titans playing a training thug for jokers gang and he was actually playing robin well this cronos character that is only called that on IMDb is actually the skull cowboy so instead of Rupert spoon feeding info he expects the fan base and non fans to know everything right see where I’m going with this he made a sequel to the TV movie and show and picked up the right after the show basically where Eric and Shelly were re born as drug addicts because Eric and Shelly broke a lot of rules
Soulless I agree with you 💯
What is this critique I see about stories in movies being too simple. Unless a movie has sequels with continuity almost all movies have somewhat simple stories.
I actually don't think this was telling a simple story-there's a lot of elements it was throwing in there from drug addiction to supernatural stuff to organized crime. Much of this was to the film's detriment as it didn't really flesh out any of these elements. imo, the 1994 version took a more simple approach to its storytelling, but added more depth to the characters.
This s*** sucks so bad it's going to spill over to Nosferatu
i liked you a lot, keep up the good work, ❤
Thanks!
Seems like common mistake i hear about with this movie is watching the original before seeing this one! LOL
I started on Bill from hemlock grove too!! (Hated that last season tho!!!)
And i realized how sexy bill is in barbarian 🥰.
I will wait for this is come out on hulu or prime (really soon I'm guessing)
And p.s. i hate weddings but if i were i would love to do it in vegas with and elvis impersonator! Tell your friends I've been wanting to do it for so long but can't talk my s.o. into it! Ha ha
Lol! I didn't get to go to the wedding, but it looked like a blast from the photos! Apparently, there's so many different Elvis impersonators to choose from these days! 😂
Yeah, going from the original to this new version was a mistake!!
We are split it was un avoidable I respect and understand both sides of the camp I’m on the side that actually liked it
The sound cloud rap ver of crow
Oof, I was hopeful about it too. I might go see it anyway but thanks for setting expectations lol
Ok... If you wanna a new story, then you should do it well. Here is my script: Eric is a fallen rock star, who is a drug addict. He cannot making music anymore cuz of his addiction. One night, he attempt an unsuccessful suicide. He end in a hospital which his "lovely shelly" working as a nurse. They meet. Eric start to feeling something. He try to change for Shelly. He is healing. Getting rid of his addiction and suicidal thoughts. Start to writing music again. But his dark past won't leave them alone. And one day "the bad guys" from his past (I don't know who they can be but we can figure it out), attack and kill both of them. The "lovely Shelly" died cuz of him 😔 he is angry but at the same time, feeling guilty for this. And return for revenge. etc etc..... Well, what is your scripts let's disscuss. How could we fix this story and righting the wrongs 🥸
Twigs was so wooden, lol
I did not like it iether. Acting, dialouge, and visuals done right are all important. Editing..most independent..non big Hollywood productions are better..Big Hollywood movies are intended for a certain demographics..I am a different movie goer than wh we n I was 16 years old
A tragic reboot
Brandon lee is the best Eric draven
I wanted to enjoy you ripping this piece of tripe but a narrator that uses "like" this and "like" that all over every sentence is a bit hard to listen to.
I sailed the seven seas and started this movie 40 mins in and it felt like I didn't miss a beat. The action scenes weren't as good as I'd hoped either. The best part of this movie was hearing Ozzy in the trailer
The black guy Eric kills in the car when shoots a hole though his stomach is the best character in the movie they show him at random times he is the one that actually kills Eric and that whole scene with the song and Eric walking and him telling him to turn the Song off is iconic your supposed to be on this drug journey your supposed to feel like your on drugs with Eric and Shelly I felt it the whole time you would understand that making a deal with the devil more in the tv show
Ouch! 😂
And I really have to explain this the guy in the after life where the train and bridges and that factory building is that is the character skull cowboy from the comic he is a human form like in the mark show they put the name cronos so that way it would be a miss direct but he is the skull cowboy there is a lot in the movie where I was going this is the best of the series i have alot to say about it I really loved it a whole lot there was nothing that really took me out but in the show and TV movie mark did Shelly left heaven when she wasn’t supposed to to hunt for Eric and it just ends this is the aftermath of that and it very much plays out like the show would but we are following drug addict raving partying squatters and they never got to fully develop there relationship and that was ripped away from them completely and the crow choose to bring him back but the love wasn’t fully pure yet so he wasn’t able to fully heal regenerate and there was alot that made me laugh but these days you go to the movies and every one is dead silent so I have to sit there in fear of re acting to anything but I loved it
jesus christ. stop me if you've heard this one. Jokes aside but jeez, have you ever heard of punctuation?
I saw it yesterday and thought it was good but it won't be good as the og in my opinion I give it an 8 out 10
😂😂😂😂😂
Not sure why the villain being white matters.... but yeah, this movie was trash.
It's just old typical same old. But nowadays everyone is afraid to have any one be genuinely evil bc they think it'll insult the demo of who ever plays bad guy (ie. Woman, midget, albino, etc... ) ppl need to chill it's just a movie
This 🎦 was very important 2 me. Because the star of the 🎦 lived out one of my dearest dreams: he showed his bare rear end 4 the world. Someday I hope 2 also show my bare rear end 2 the world in a 🎦. Those who doubt me u will not deny the power of my rear end!
It was good to me
100 mins long...and 90 of those are badly acted, badly written & blandly shot garbage. There is one 10 minute sequence in the opera house which is actually not bad at all. But it's too little too late! The leads have zero chemistry! Bill is a good actor, but surprisingly miscast here while FKA should stick to music because she's a terrible actress! The soundtrack doesn't suck, but the songs feel so randomly thrown in with little thought given to why they're there other than "it might make wake up us Goths"...AWFUL FILM OVERALL!
