Movies don't need to be made for a new audience. The '94 Crow is incredible. Any audience can appreciate it.
I'll just pretend this doesn't exist.
Fair enough…I just think that sometimes, a remake can be something great. The Thing is a great example of that! But this…just isn’t it, sadly.
@@order42show Well that's John Carpenter doing a remake. Of course it's gonna be great. Nowadays we've got Joe Schmo doing remakes.
Well, to be fair…at the time, I don’t think people knew Carpenter was as awesome as we do now! In fact, The Thing was quite a failure when it hit theaters!
Hard Pass for me .... Naming 2 junkies after Eric and Shelly was a terrible mistake ...
Yeah, I didn’t really think of it that way, but…you might have a point!
Well said.
the movie was a waste of time, so unnecessary to remake this, this was crap
@@order42showno. They’re only named Eric and Shelly because it’s inspired by the graphic novel.
Don’t listen to all the hate, go check it out.
This movie is not a remake. At all.
It’s not based off the comic. It’s based off the graphic novel.
OG Crow soundtrack was one of the best.
You're so right! Nothing here, really, which was also a shame...
Still listen to it all the time! 😂😂😂😂
This movie suuuuuuuuuuucks so incredibly bad. It literally has no characters. None. I can't name any of the bad guys. No fucking characterization at all. You never get to know anything about them. Nothing. One guy can send people to hell in his place, THAT'S ALL. The original had characterization coming out of it's ass! In less than three minutes of flashbacks, you knew EVERYTHING you needed to know about why Eric loved Shelly so much. There's no Albrecht, no Sarah, no nothing about the bad guys. The new film literally has NOTHING. Horrible in every conceivable way.
I got so caught up in the story not working for me that I didn’t mention it, but I do think that aside from the CG blood, I do think it looked nice. I already said that I think the performances were good.
I really am curious if the movie would work if you hadn’t seen the original.
@order42show No. Like I said, the characters were awful. You knew nothing about the villains. What was their deal? Why could the main guy send people to hell in his place? Who were any of his lackeys that seemed so scared of him? Why were they working for him? What were any of their names? How did the guy live for hundreds of years? What's up with that? Shelly's mom apparently sold her for a nice apartment and some cash? Why? How? How did that weigh on her? How about a teeny flashback showing us how that played out and how she had managed to evade him for so long? Eric? What's with the horse dream other than a nod to the comic? Who was that emaciated skank on his couch? Why was he in trouble and locked up to begin with? How about a closer look at the songs and art he was constantly making? That would have been helpful. Aside from the fact he looked every hipster, douchebag junkie in Hollywood, what was the attraction there? Why would a girl like Shelly be drawn to him? Maybe something aside from helping her escape her mysterious pursuers who also apparently walk into the weird, sci-fi rehab mall they were in and just take people? Maybe establish some time had gone by and they had to depend on each other? Anything to show why she would fall in love with this dude who isn't any less creepy when he's not dressed as a child eating clown? Or how about: WHERE THE HELL IS THIS PLACE THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN???? Is it France? Is it Vancouver? Who met him in the afterlife? Was that just a cheap location to green screen? Was it purgatory? Was it an in-between? Why have him offer to take her place in Hell when he was CLEARLY not in Hell at the end and it was never mentioned again? Who the hell was the guy that gave him the gun? Were they friends? Seemed like it, but I don't recall. When you walk out of the movie, struggling to figure out the basic plot afterward and can not really remember any of the characters or why they did anything they did, your movie has failed on every level. And the dialogue, Jesus Holy Crap. "If you ever find me difficult to love, love me harder." Thank god they were mostly mute for the whole film, I would've vomited. I feel like there's a solid hour of connective tissue scenes missing from this film. It made no sense at any time, in any way.
No. there is NOTHING redeeming or fun about this movie. Period.
Well, I mean…for the script they had, it was filmed well. In fact, except for the digital blood (which I’m also not a huge fan), I’d say it’s technically really well done! It’s just a shame they didn’t have a script that was…better.
@@order42show I can’t even agree with that. Anyone involved in writing this has no business ever making a movie. It’s an abomination.
The original comic is such a beautiful and haunting story. IDK why the strayed further from it.
I can’t speak for anyone who made the film, but as someone who is TRYING to write…you want to put your own stamp on it. You want to tell a story through your own lens, but the idea (or the hope) is that this take is worthy and acceptable of the most amount of people, right? I don’t think anyone creates something in the hopes that people won’t like it.
So, my thinking is that either
1. the studio got involved and messed with the idea, maybe even suggesting that they name the characters the same as the original movie (this may have happened, especially considering parts of the movie that feel truncated or that a scene is missing)
OR
2. The idea just didn’t come together.
It’s EXTREMELY difficult to get a movie to the finish line, it takes hours and hours of effort from so many people, and even when you work so hard, it still may not come together! Which, from my standpoint, it’s hard to just completely trash a movie, but to me it feels like it was the script that was the problem. It’s beautifully shot, and I think the performances are good, but that can only get you so far when the script lets you down.
I read the comic before the first movie released in ‘94. I considered one of the best comics of the 90s up there with Sandman. I was there opening night for the original and I proceeded to see it 3 more times in a week. Just saw the 2024 version. They got a few things right but missed a lot of important things. The biggest thing everyone of these films has missed though is that the deaths of Eric and Shelly are random acts of violence by horrible people. They had the unfortunate position of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wish that interoperation got made. my review is if you want to see a movie this weekend see Alien or watch the original. This movie is better left for streaming when it comes out in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, I mean - I haven’t read the comic in a while, but the movie - she put them on their radar because she had complained about where they were living, and the place was owned by Top Dollar, right? But yeah, I can’t really recommend the movie, either. I probably should’ve held up the 4K again and said “just watch this”. 🤷🏻♂️
@@order42show Correct Shelly was fighting eviction with other tenants and Top Dollar responded by sending T-Bird and his crew. The 4K version is nice, I watched it the other day actually.
It’s a really well done release!
The Crow (1994) is a classic. Was able to see it in cinemas for the first time this year thanks to the 30th Anniversary and made for a great experience. Passing on this.
If you loved the original, you can still like the new one. Please don’t skip a movie based on the love for that one.
They’re two different movies all together and maybe you can enjoy and appreciate this one. 😊
It’s tough - while I would generally agree with Tina here, I just don’t understand why they would change the story so much but use the same character names. I can’t help but compare it.
Crow "City Angels"...
Hold my bullets with bourbon chaser....
I don’t remember that at all! But somehow, not sure if it’s worth revisiting…
"for me, it's cry now and cry later" 🤦🏻
My review score: -3 out of 10
Haha, wow! I don’t think it’s quite that bad…probably a 5/10 for me.
HA! So they started the movie exactly how I predicted. So dumb.
Yeah, it was just SOOO SLOW to me. But I HAD to see it...
Love is slow and it can take time guys.
First movie did it better. 🤷🏻♂️
No wonder Billy Boy said yes to the Pennywise streaming series Welcome To Derry last minute 😂
Well, he’s an actor who goes where the work is. I think that might be one of the bigger tragedies with this - I LIKE Bill as an actor, and I think he does really well with what he’s given to do. 🤷🏻♂️
Tbh I thought they should have called it "A Crow" and completely distanced itself from Eric
Too true…I thought the same thing! It’s like…this may not be bad in a vacuum, but calling it The Crow and having Eric and Shelly as characters means that people will compare it to the original rather than standing on its own.
Hi there, Robbie.
We meant at retropalooza Houston on the Saturday after the Game Chasers panel. I was that guy who talked to you about how you should go for the comedy high jinks that Billy Jay did in the past and to write in your script for the new Game Chasers Movie.
Anyways I'm also a huge Crow fan and like yourself . I have the comic book movies and vinyl soundtracks. Since the first trailer came, I knew it was a hard pass and knew it was not going to uphold the srouce or lore of James O'Barr vision from his comic. There is only ever going to be one Crow. R.I.P Brandon Lee
Hey there! Good to hear from you!
But yeah, I think they should’ve done more to separate themselves from the original…like name the characters something else!
They could've done a completely different character, but used the crow powers....using Eric and Shelley puts it right up there with the other three crap remakes. Two isnt bad, but the rest....ehhhh, three has some cool parts, but yea...i always had a scene in my head, what if instead of one crow, the main character has a whole flock/murder of crow? The bad guy kills one bird thinking hes got him, but then camera pans to a big tree and we see like 30 crows hanging out....yea, ive always had that scene playing in my head and we've had yet to see anything like that. The t.v. show was good, actually not bad at all how he couldn't rest, just helping people all the time.
I just remember Mark Dacascos being a strange mix of charisma and cheese…I don’t remember a whole lot about it!
But yeah, for this movie…it’s a bit of a shame because there are genuinely some good things there, but…just a missed opportunity.
If your not gonna do honor on the original source of even follow the comics, why fn bother? Hollywood will never learn or care for something that is not Hollywood material.
On the side note, that scream killed me and I love it. Lol
😂 Glad you thought it was funny!
This movie baffles me, BUT…I don’t necessarily think that all of Hollywood doesn’t care, but it is truly very rare for someone to do a good remake. Like The Thing is the movie that keeps popping into my head, which may be the best remake of all time.
It’s a modern adaptation, and it was actually quite good. Our era tends to be so critical that we often miss the whole point: sheer enjoyment.
In a lot of ways, I agree with you. And as I said in the review, the original movie and story made such an impact on me that it’s hard for me to divorce myself from that. I’m glad you enjoyed it, though!
@@order42show
I get you! My whole dating life is shaped by the '90s film characters like The Crow, Edward Scissorhands, Jack Skellington, Lestat (Interview with the Vampire), and Tyler Durden, defining my attraction to a particular type :)) However, let's bear in mind it isn't a remake, it's a new adaptation that reinterprets a story from its original source material, which could be a book, play, comic, etc. It might not be directly related to any previous film adaptation of the same source.
They claim it's a "modern re-imagining" but it ISN'T The Crow. Other than the names Eric Draven and Shelly Webster, nothing else is even remotely like the comic or the original adaptation. It's a Crow story that steals two iconic characters from the origin story so it can claim to be something it isn't. I thought The Crow: Wicked Prayer was the worst version of the mythology, but this is even more insulting because it took the names Eric and Shelly and butchered their story.
I can’t argue with that!
The moment someone brings in the "modern audience" excuse, you know it is an irrefutable fail.
Modern audiences would be more grateful if they were forced to consume the original films of all these train-crash remakes, because it would introduce them to the fantastical element of entertainment --- where film used to serve as an escape to another realm instead of regurgitating the miserable paradigm of real life we all suffer every day.
I get your point - but they couldn’t even stay true to the intent of the original story. It’s like they read a three sentence synopsis of The Crow and decided to do their own version.
@@order42show They're reading the Wikipedia - the first paragraph anyway.
Like ST: Into Darkness includes the blown up Klingon moon Praxis 50 years early and ignores that their home world is dying because of it because they didn't read that far.
I hate to say you’re right, but…you’re right!
The original will always be the best of course. I just watched all the sequels back to back. I think City Of Angels is okay, wish we got the full version since the movie is so short. Salvation was good for what it was, better than i figured. Wicked Prayer was pretty bad but had some funny moments. I'm expecting this one to be better than wicked prayer, but not expecting much from all the backlash so far. I need to sit down and read the full comic one day. Thanks for a honest review.
Of course! I sincerely hope you get something out of it. After that first sequel, I tapped out of the rest of them!
I loved the movie ❤ going to watch it again❤❤❤
Glad you liked it! Had you seen the original movie before?
@@order42show I can't help but express how much I loved it♥️♥️♥️. I don't want to compare, but it was truly amazing☺️☺️☺️!"
Art is subjective - and even though it didn’t work for me, I’m glad it worked for you!
Eric is a junkie… I don’t think so.
I totally get it!
I liked the movie I am not basing that on original it wasn't great but it is worth a watch at least.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m still thinking about it, so that’s something!
Saw a screener for free and it just gave me a headache. Saw the OG in the theater when I was a kid a loved it. So I went into this deciding not to compare. Just wanted to see how this would play as a movie. Total waste of time. I wanted it to end 10mins in. I knew I wasn’t going to like that much from the first trailer but god damn. Should have saved themselves and never called them Eric and Shelly I 100% agree. I think even if I had never heard of the Crow this movie would not have made me care about the world. Especially not the same way anyone just finding the graphic novel would
Yeah, I just feel bad for the actors, because I think they were fine, and I’m really rooting for Bill Skarsgard, but yeah, I can’t see it working, but - I also have 30 years of loving that original movie, so it’s impossible to take this at face value. Good thing is, the original lives on!
I was happy to see that there are a few things in this movie that were crucial in the comics that aren't in the old movie
It’s been a while since I read the original, so maybe I need to revisit. Sounds like you got a little more out of it than me!
man, i was rooting for this flick, hoping it would be the underdog, to prove the overwhelming hate wrong- but its unfortunately deserved, not because of the look of the movie, but the incredibly shallow so called love story....and they both were so dumb, when they shouldve gotten out of town, they just stayed fucking and partying (which i guess passes for eternal love, through a modern audience lense)- its absoluely devoid of the genuine pain and poetry, of the source material (was hoping it would be closer the o barrs story, than the OG movie)
Yeah, it really is amazing to me how efficient the original movie is at making you believe the love story. This felt more like infatuation to me…
I need to revisit O’Barr’s story. I haven’t read it in years, so I’m not nearly as familiar with that story as I am with the movie.
It wasn't just the script mate..the "actors" it was everything that made it sux. They should have done a female Crow.. "Iris shaw" from the book, would have made a great film. I walked out on this 15-20 minutes ino this. A goth couple walked out before I did😅smh..
Wow, so you REALLY didn’t like it! But…I really don’t think it was the actors, in my opinion. They did what was given to them, it’s just…well, what was given to them wasn’t great…
I have yet to watch the original crow and honestly really loved the film... now I am adamant about my opinion
Hey! I am NEVER one that’ll try to convince you that your opinion isn’t valid! It’s also why I thought that people who weren’t as familiar with the original might have a different opinion than me. I’m really happy you enjoyed it!
thanks for the review though man, kinda bummed that its so slow
Of course! It is a shame, unfortunately...
Bro I use to live in Washington State, & everybody there loves Bruce Lee & Brandon Lee. So I watch anything and everything about The Crow. (Everything after the first Crow Movie, Blows) When I saw this Trailer seeing him walking up the stairs getting blasted I was like "blast him in the Knee-Cap" bone regenerates different than flesh. So I told my sis I'll buy you & Bf a movie tickets to watch it because I still wanna love and support The Crow, "thier Gen Z" btw🙄. They watch the Trailer and Called him a "Try Hard Joker". They don't want to go to this movie "The Crow" they ask for the money to go to Ice Cream store instead. What do I Do? The deal is supposed to be Movie.... oh wait you have 4k Movie??? Any kool Extra's on that?? Awesome score brotha👊
Thing is…the movie’s just not that great. I really like Bill Skarsgard, but this is just not it…ice cream would probably be better!
The 4K has a couple of new features…but it’s really the movie looking so good that makes it worth buying!
the scream 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha...!
Side note, loving the Battle Royale box there.
Haha, many thanks!
Happy for the folks who enjoyed it but it was the first movie in over 200 I have went to the theater and seen that I left 50 mins in and asked for a refund and over 20 other people did the same in the first hour from what I was told. I can't even give what I saw more than 1 star. Just my take on what I watched.
WOW, that’s nuts. Sorry to hear that you couldn’t finish it!
I’m on the same wave length of you rn because I am the exact same with the thought process out of that film i watched! 😮
Well, for that, I’m sorry! 😂
If they would have done original characters and not Shelly and Eric, I think it would have been soo much better. But then I also heard it as a film it just sucked
It was poorly paced, for sure. Maybe it’s because almost the first half was setup. But you’re right - I think having original names might’ve put me in a different headspace to start with. I don’t know…it’s sorta not great anyway…
I liked it.
Hell, I liked both of the original and the "remake"...
Completely fair! Happy to hear that.
Exact asa,Lipsit de UMOR!❤
👍🏻
Great review. But what a tease. A b-roll shot from the Effortless Speed car. I thought the review was going to take place in the home of the Rob solo shows.
Haha, sorry about that! And thanks!
To me it seemed like they were wanting it to be another Twilight, The Moody love struck Star-Crossed lovers.... They're hoping that they would be plenty of sequels and and that's all the old Twilight fans would watch it, it's very cheesy in in the dialogue and it just reeks of Twilight to me. It doesn't even have a hint of a smell of the crow, and even if this is another redemption, it should have been the crow: insert something here.+(Probably : the devil made me do it)
You know what…that’s a good call. And maybe…don’t call them Eric and Shelly.
@@order42show in my mind I call them Derek and Shayla
Ha, yeah, that might help! 😁
Best intro ever! haha! I am not a big fan of the original actually...😬
Maybe I'll watch is at some point though. :)
Oh, man, the original came out at just the right time for me…I love it!
It was like infinity wars, when I saw it, I was like that's not how it went they changed a lot of the characters, it was a good movie though,
I have the original comic books 1 and 2 of the crow, they should have gone with different characters and a different story and then maybe.
So, basically, you wish it was entirely different? Yeah, me, too.
I saw it this morning. It was a bit slow to start. but good action, and violence. 2nd best The Crow film after the original. 7 out of 10
I’m glad to hear that it worked for you! Maybe you’re better than me at separating yourself from the original…
I just saw it and was fairly disappointed. I even could get through the sequels for what they were. Like you said they could have just modernized it and it would have been great, but they just left out everything that gave it depth
Yeah, it’s like, I keep thinking about some of the choices and am like, “but WHY though?”
movie was phenomenal
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Having not seen the original, or knowing anything with the comics, just walking in blind, I thought it was great haha. Cringy at points? For sure! But I had a good time watching it
Thank you for that! I could just feel that if you hadn’t had any prior knowledge about the story that it could work, but it’s hard for someone like me to “unknow” something. Really appreciate the comment!
(No pressure, but I’m also curious - if you happen to watch the original, I’d love to hear your thoughts!)
Dude! This is 'The Crap' NOT 'The Crow!' Brandon Lee IS Eric Draven and ALWAYS will be! scarsguard is just an emotionless zombie...yeah...great performance there! (And for those of you who don't know, that was sarcasm!) twigs was also great...(sarcasm again!)...at playing a COMPLETE SKANK...oh, wait...I guess they got her character mixed up...😂'cause she's definitely NOT Shelly! (As a fan of the original, I can't believe you bought into this CRAP!💩) Rest in Peace, Brandon...Love, Major💔
Well, here’s the thing…their performances are not the fault of the actors! They did exactly what the script and the director asked them to do, so if you have a problem with their characters, THAT’S where the problem is!
I’d also say that the more I think about it, the more I think that it doesn’t even make sense for them to be called Eric and Shelly, as they’re nothing like those original characters. It makes me wonder if the studio asked for their character names to be changed to try and have that connection to the original movie. Now, this, of course, did NOT work and like you, it irritated me!
If you think I “bought into” this because I don’t fault the actors, well, I don’t know how you could misunderstand that. I did not like this movie and would recommend it to no one.
Never seen the original but I'm guessing it starts like Faust Love of the Damned?
And the way you make this sound I think I'll just watch Faust again. Flawed as it is it knows hiw to tell a story.
I haven’t seen that, but…it’d be interesting to see what you think of this. Going in without the original in your head, it might actually work!
@@order42show Being obscure for it's own sake is not artistic
Or satisfying story wise
I guess Eric's new powers included getting through Shelly's phone password and starting cars without the keys?
But I'd rather have their "powers" before - living in someone's huge luxury apartment and living off their money (?) Maybe I should go into court mandated rehab?
I didnt hate it but it Definitely was worse than the original by far. Story took too long to develop and no memorable characters beside eric. The atmosphere in the original was darker and felt more hopeless too.
True…and, more alive? It was bleak, but Eric and Shelly were like beacons of pure love in a terrible place. In this, they just fit right in.
So all in all, second best movie in the franchise?
Sure, but...yeah, is that really saying a lot?
I have been thinking about it though...I wonder if it would play differently on second watch.
i agree with you on the villains. theyre pretty forgettable. and i dont think their names were ever mentioned in the movie aside from danny houstons and laura birns characters. i was surprised how well twigs acted tho. expected way worse. kinda like the movie for what it is but its very different in comparison to the original movie and comic. die-hard fans wont like it if tehyre looking for similarities. there are a few comic references tho.
Yeah, I think its biggest mistake was calling them Eric and Shelly for me. Telling a different story is fine, but you’re inviting comparison when you call the characters the same.
Fair. Diff tone of 1,s movie😃
Very different! Just a shame they didn’t name their characters differently.
I was named after the movie and my career in film is inspired by 1994 The Crow and from the start and everything I've heard through early screenings and reviews and news sources before was nothing but bad and.....I couldn't be more disappointed to hear we once again have another flop in the saga smh
That’s the thing though - it’s not BAD, per se - it’s just not what you (or I) would call The Crow. That’s why I’d be curious to hear from someone without attachment to the original to see what they say.
But for someone like you and me? Nah.
@order42show Eh that's valid I guess
That’s not what I meant at all! I’m actually on your side with this movie! All I was trying to say is that I’m curious if the movie works for someone who hadn’t seen the original.
And I also should’ve said “I don’t think it’s bad, per se”. Your opinion is as valid as anyone else’s.
So basically…I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. I appreciate your opinion and don’t want anyone to think that their thoughts aren’t welcome on my channel.
Even if I consider this as a non-crow Movie, it is still a garbage. Things are happening here just so the movie can happen. It failed as a Love story, it failed as an action movie and no I did not like the performances either.
You know, I can’t argue with that! Art is subjective, and it clearly didn’t work for you.
You know…it is sort of amazing that the original works the way it does - it’s so efficient in its storytelling that I believe everything. The way this one plays out, I believe little.
GREAT MOVIE. DONT LISTEN TO THESE HATERS
You’re welcome to your opinion…but anyone that DOESN’T like it is also welcome to their opinion. You can’t gatekeep people that simply disagree with you!
Lets be honest. Bill skarsgard is way too good of an actor to be in this movie
I think that may be the biggest tragedy here - I think he’s awesome!
Oh man, just dislike the damn film if you dislike it and say so. You apologize more for your response to this film than anything else in the video. It's exhausting just listening to you apologize for not liking it. Would you apologize similarly through an entire review of a film you liked? Sheesh. It makes you sound like a studio shill.
I said “I’m sorry” twice toward the end. That…was exhausting? I’m not sure what you want from me. I said the movie didn’t work for me, I gave all the reasons why…
Honestly didn’t even remember saying that. When I watched it again, I think I said it because I’m a fan of Bill Skarsgard, and I wanted better for him.
ok
👍🏻
The last 20 minutes were good i thought. But The rest of it....... meh meh meh
I actually agree with that - there were…moments.
😂😂😂 good review 👍🏽
Thanks! Had fun with that!
Makes me happy I'm taking my brother to see Strange Darling instead next week starring Scream alumni Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner. People are giving the movie so much praise calling it the most creative and mind blowing thriller of it's kind. I'm glad I won't be wasting my money. I just wish more UA-camrs talked about Strange Darling.
Very interesting! I hadn’t seen a single trailer for this, and Giovanni Ribisi is the director of photography! It’s now on my radar…thanks for that!
just saw it, well they tried, and failed, in the end its just a bloody graphic violent horror flick, no real thrills or powerful moments you can connect with, no real gothic feel at all, horrible casting choices, bill is a stiff in this, and twigs is the standard so called love interest with no personality, she's just there coz the script says so, flat dialog that we don't care about, why even call this crap the crow, they should just call it the pigeon lol the movie is a weak attempt at a crow story, it was unnecessary , and wtf was up with that music !! and lame characters, was this a guy ritchie flick lol
Wow, so a LOT of it didn’t work for you! I do agree though about why call it The Crow - some strange choices.
NOPE.
I...understand.
No, it IS bad. Very bad. The writing. The acting. The unrelatable surroundings. And what are you talking about with the sequels? None of those were Eric Draven They WERE EXACTLY what you asked why they didn't just have different characters. NONE of the films in the series had Eric and Sheely except for the original and this wreck. You need to go back and research my man. And you asked where's the humor? There was NO humor on the 1994 film. This review is as much a wreck as the new film.
So, I’ve had quite a few people say that they enjoyed the film. I did not, of course, but film is subjective, and just because you didn’t like something doesn’t mean someone else is wrong for liking it!
But then you go off on a tangent that I don’t get…the sequels were also bad, at least to me! I saw the first sequel and thought it was terrible and heard the rest were as well and didn’t waste my time - exactly what other “research” would I need to do?
And to say the original doesn’t have humor?! Are you kidding? The original is downright playful at times!
This is the problem for every review I’m seeing for this movie, you’re all going into this movie comparing it to the original! Stop doing that! That does not need to be your mindset going into this. You should be going into this movie to enjoy it as a crow fan. You should never go into a remake comparing it to the original because then you’ll be disappointed every time
What? People are always going to compare a remake with the original. Sometimes it’s better and sometimes it isn’t
@@christianguthrie2430 that’s the problem when you’re going into a remake, you don’t need to compare it to the original. Did you not read what I just wrote? That’s why this is getting negative reviews, because you’re comparing it too much to the original. You can’t be doing that while you’re watching a remake. If you do you’ll be disappointed every time. Listen to what I’m saying. You need to be watching it as a fan of The Crow and to just have fun.
But…instead of allowing it to stand on its own, they INVITE comparison by using Eric and Shelly as the character names! I actually think that was one of their biggest missteps.
But even trying to take this on its own (which I admit is really hard because I’m super attached to the original), it just didn’t work for me.
@@order42show okay just because they’re the same characters doesn’t mean that it should still be compared. Yes it’s the same characters but it’s a completely different movie which is why it’s a remake. So you still shouldn’t compare them
I…disagree. But that’s also why I said that I’d like to hear from someone who hadn’t seen the original, because it’s impossible for me to separate myself from a movie I watched tons of times back in the day!
No I'm sorry none of these people do a good job at acting and none of them do a good job with what they had their downright awful in this film.
I guess we can agree to disagree!
It's a hilarious pool of vomit.
Well, that’s one way to put it! 😂
One if the worse movies of the decade
It’s pretty bad…but in one of the other comments, someone who knew nothing about the history liked it…so 🤷🏻♂️
The movie is crap.. I saw it also it awful
It’s such a shame. But hey, at least the original is still there (and still awesome!)
The movie was ass cheeks a love story they new each other 20minutes what a joke
You know, I didn’t mention that, but…it really felt a little bit like “young love” where someone gives you a shred of attention and you’re like “Oh, I love you so MUCH!” without really knowing what loving someone actually means…
