Can I just say, I am really appreciating all the different opinions and perspectives on this! Its great to see some solid points coming through 💜
So I'm trying to sit through your review and ironically you said that you were going to go and open-minded but yet you're not you're not even letting the whole trailer play out before you start putting in your judgments rather you realize it or not. That is not going in with an open mind. You should have watched the full trailer first and then give your thoughts on it. Let's get over the look of the character and look at the story that's being told cuz it looks like that's what people are missing and why they don't realize that this is closer to the book than the original film.. they're allowing themselves to be distracted by something that they're holding on to instead of letting the movie be what it's supposed to be a remake and not a copy and most likely out of respect to Brandon Lee's version let him have that let this be Bill skarsgard's version. people shitted on the second Crow film and even though it was a different Crow people hated on it but now that's turned around and a lot of people appreciate it and even love it. With that being said since people keep bringing up his appearance as a person who is into all genres of musicwhat you may not realize is that this is not a Mumble rap thing or for a rapper's aesthetic they literally have stole that from the punk scene of today because they're trying to stand out cuz their music is shit. So by making themselves look the oxymoronic opposition of what hip hop is this is what you're now seeing so no this is not a hip hop influence look this is a punk of today look just like the original Crow was taken from the punk / goth scene of that era. For the record I am 50 years old so I have seen a lot I've been in the Goth Punk scene as an African-American I was raised on hip hop before hip hop even existed I was there for its creation. So I'm able to see what's being done here. People need to take this movie compare it to the book and not the original film. Because the one thing that I see in this trailer that it was not present in the original film which is the most important components is the true love relationship that they had for each other. You get it in a little clips of flashbacks here and there. And you feel bad for them only because of the brutality in which their lives were taken. But in this film it looks like you get to actually see it and feel it I lived there loved through them if it is executed correctly. Thuss when they die you'll feel it even more. And you'll be right there with him when he's exacting his revenge. That's what I got from this trailer and it literally touched me as a helpless romantic. And I think people are so blinded or distracted by his appearance not being the same as Brandon Lee's that they're not letting the movie wash over them and seeing the trailer for what it is.
If you've noticed I've been replying as your video has gone along vs. watching the whole thing. Because I want to make sure that I hit each points when I respond to them. the fact that you think the movie is going to fail. I could be completely wrong but I seriously doubt it who are not biased will see how much closer this is to the comic book versus the original film. Then you have the action sayings that love John wick etc. and the irony of it is I believe that the reason why a lot of people who are hating on this film love the original so much is because they were within the goth community so they felt like this was speaking to them as Goths and they embraced it. And now that they feel that that's been taken away from them they feel betrayed. But unfortunately for them as well as possibly yourself there's not enough of you to make this movie fail. The masses of people that will see this are the people who are more open-minded such as myself the younger generation that have no connection to the original Crow or that may be willing to like both then like I said before you have the John wick action fans the soundtrack also may draw people in if it's a great soundtrack. So at the end of the day this movie will not fail. In fact the negative press may make it do better than people are expecting. I'll put it this way I expected the first transference movie to be such shit that when I saw it I overhyped it. And it wasn't until I pulled back that I realized that movie wasn't as good as I thought it was. So it's possible that the same thing could happen with this.
@@thetrasharoundmyplastic6342 i appreciate you taking the time to type this all out, and I am glad that you have muc higher hopes for it than I. Incase you arent familiar, reactionary content like this video tends to be done in this format where the reactions and reviews get recorded through the witnessing as opposed to taking it in as a whole and then reviewing. I will completely openly say that my love of the original movie did indeed create bias in this reaction, however, remakes of well known and well loved movies play on the nostalgia and love of the most popular original media, in this case the Brandon Lee movie. I have read a few of the comics, so i am no expert, but from what everyone is saying, the imagery and what we can see of the story is even further from Eric and Shelley's story than the 1994 movie was. I genuinely hope that it does live up to your expectations. As i said, i hope my appraisal is wrong... But for now I stick by what I said. 💜
This comment is wise. I approve.
I'm not even going to attempt to watch this. It isn't even the crow. It's nothing like the 90's original. And since when is Shelly coloured in the original 🤦♀️. This is a proper insult.
After seeing the trailer I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't understand The Crow in the comics what made Eric and Shelly's death tragic is that it was a random crime not planned by some rich elite. The action and the revenge was never the point it was about Eric's guilt and anger, the white horse the crow and the skull cowboy all represented a part of his broken psyche. The Brandon Lee version kinda detoured from some aspects but in the end it understood the characters this new version just feels like a cheap cash grab for "modern" audiences
Facts
But it wasn’t a random crime….they wouldn’t take the money to leave the apartment So they were sent to get them out 🤷♂️
@@richrs200810 that's the movies plot but in the comic their car broke down in the middle of nowhere and T-bird and his gang happened to stumble upon them as someone wrote it in the comments they were in the wrong place at the wrong time it wasn't planned
@@user-gothicwingyup, Eric tells Shelley to lock herself inside the car when the gang stops.
Well, it was made like that to have a beginning, middle, and end. Your version doesn't have that. Unless he does what Jason did in the bee keeper and sees the issue of the problems.
9:25 ironicy funny how brandon lee's Crow inspired Heath ledger's Joker look and now it seems Jared Leto's Joker has inspired Bill Skarsgárd Crow look...
This is not The Crow. This is The Pigeon.
This made me laugh. Im sorry, but yes. This is a different realm. Its not the OG Crow, which is fine. Would be good if hey changed his name though to empower it being a .. non Crow.
this was exactly my first thought
I though it would be The Scarecrow but they fuскеd up when they decided to do a remake.
"City of Angels" suddenly looks like a Masterpiece, eh?
Tell me about it...The only reason I never liked City of Angels was because they went with the awful yellow palate.
@@RedakaiCity yes it was an odd choice (Sodium Arc Lighting), but I think they just wanted to easily differentiate the sequel as soon as you saw any photo or film clip. I thought Vincent Perezt looked and acted great, and that it was a continuation of Sarah's story, and why Ashe wears make-up like Eric really resonated with me. I didn't think "Salvation" was that bad for a Direct-To-Video Release either. Kudos to the filmmakers for picking Eric Mabius to play Alex. Such an Underrated actor. Fred Ward was great as the Main Villain. And we all love Kirsten Dunst, what else can you say? The only really AWFUL film in the series was "Wicked Prayer" IMO...almost a "So Bad It's Good" movie, but...just NO.
I liked it cause it wasn’t Eric and the line “ nobody is listening “ .. and then he kills the motorcycle guy and the woman says “ Flores para Los muertos Flores “ I gave it a 7.5
@@RedakaiCityI liked it the director had big plans and Harvey Weinstein changed all of it who I suspect kille Brandon cause he wasnt a casting couch slave
@@fabolousjada5070 Wow...I never thought about Weinstein being the one behind Brandon's murder! I always thought it was the Triads because Brandon was Hell-bent on finding out who murdered his dad. And I hear he was very close to being able to do just that!
In the comics it’s exactly that. One crow was a Native American, another was a Chinese man whose family were taken by triads, another was a woman. There are a few as it’s really an anthology series with the main theme being revenge. Eric was done perfect already they should have went a different direction.
Actually o’Barr was on board for the original reboot that had Jason Momoa taking on the role of Eric Draven, but when that version went into production hell it unfortunately caused the original director and Momoa to drop out of the reboot, from what I heard O’Barr was not consulted in this new version of the reboot so he did not help in anyway….
I got to meet Mr. O'Barr at a con last month and he confirms that he was not consulted.
When that reboot was announced I was not board with it and I’ll tell you why. I did not wanna see some super muscular wrestler type go on a revenge journey. What made Brandon Lee the perfect candidate to play Eric Draven was that he was an “every man” type. The way Clint Eastwood played “The Man With No Name” so that any man could see themselves in that character. The way Bruce Willis played John McClane, an every man flawed cop with a rocky marriage who can get hurt. How could I possibly identify with and see myself in a 6’4” 240 lb dude going on a revenge spree to avenge his woman? That would’ve been horrible casting in my personal opinion. Brandon Lee brought so much heart and soul into every one of his performances and every line he spoke. The way he played Eric was something I could identify with. Even the way he played Eric while on his spree was very comical at times and performative. His personality was already larger than his physicality. We wouldn’t have needed a hulking physical presence in Momoa.
@@philthemovieguy81 actually I was wrong about what reboot o’Barr gave his blessing to, it was the 1st reboot that would have starred Luke Evans that James O’Barr was completely on board with, but once that fell through the cracks James lost interest, I do believe that he saw the test footage of momoa’s performance and was pleaded with it, but funny enough momoa actually got in trouble with Warner bros for losing I think I read nearly %25 of his body weight….. while he was still doing game of thrones….
@@philthemovieguy81I’m with you on that. I love Jason mamoa. I really do. He’s a nice guy and full of charisma but I feel like he would come across as a more bro-y, wingman version of Eric Draven. And on top of that, yeah, he’s 6’5 and like 240 pounds. And the thing with Brandon was that he could blend in. In fact, Brandon was told to lose weight when he got the role because he was bulky and they wanted him to look more stealthy.
Ok, can we talk about one of the most important elements of the original film? Music. "Burn" by The Cure and the tremendous delivery of it in the film was a work of art. I can only hope they can capture even a small portion of that masterpiece.
One of my absolute favorite film moments of all time.
It was also groundbreaking. The sequence was shot after Brandon Lee's death. The crew pulled it off with previously shot footage of Lee, a stunt double and creative lighting techniques.
Sorry if you knew all of this before, just wanted to share!
Oh it's gonna burn, alright... not in any good way.
You've seen the Crow. You loved the Crow for decades. Now we give you... The Pigeon! It takes everything that made the Crow iconic and crapped all over it. The Pigeon coming this Summer to crap in a theater near you!
I just spat tea everywhere 😂 thankyou for that
😂😂😂😂 I almost choked on my root beer. This was perfect 😂
lmao the pigeon I love it
😂😂😂😂
Dude you made me bust out laughing at work. Bastard lol
People once believed that Hollywood was where epic stories originated, that when you sat down in a theater your soul would be carried to a land of wonder and dreams. But sometimes, something so bad happens to the stories you love that a terrible sadness is carried with it and your soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, only the original film can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.
If the movies we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving the originals. Box offices burn, franchises die, but real love is forever.
RIP BL/ED.
Beautifully put
Brilliant!
Brilliant.
Oh God, plagiarism much?🤣 Jokes aside, absolutely correct. How can you improve a masterpiece? It's like someone repainting the Mona Lisa. It's completely ludacris.
The Crow can bring anyone back. Literally anyone. Why on Earth would they make him Eric Draven. Change the character name and 99% of complaints go away. When you remake something you just invite comparisons. If it wasnt Eric Draven then we cant say "that isnt like the original Eric Draven." or "This doesnt feel like the first one" because it wasnt supposed to be. But this is supposed to be Eric and Shelly. Color me disappointed in this
You know i completely agree, change the character name and it become A crow story, not THE crow story
I actually like the trailer and will definitely go see it I like it’s more of an action movie now with a slight goth aesthetic but it being a whole new character would really helped it’s credibility
ya if this was not eric but some other guy i wouldnt have much to complain but this just aint eric.
I was just thinking the same thing. If this was a new character I bet this could have been the best of the sequels.
As goofy as city of angels is, at least they knew they couldn’t do Eric Draven again.
Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is
Yessssss. This kind of grit right here is what is missing in this remake!
@@kandicehope9659 I doubt they'll even quote Poe in the remake let alone Milton.
the original film is so touching, sensitive. It tells the story of a person who wants revenge and doesn't kill anything in front of him, just the right people. Even the reason Shelly died was an important detail, not because she saw something she shouldn't have, but because she was fighting for a cause. And yes, their deaths were terrible in the original.
One thing that really catches my attention is Eric's feelings. In the original he is sensitive, much more sad than angry, and in this reboot they simply made him the angriest person on earth, and details like Eric keeping the ring he gave to Shelly, we won't have that in this new film. We won't have a police friend or a person that Eric and Shelly cared for when they were alive like Sarah's case. We won't have sensitivity, we'll just have a living dead man with a joker complex taking the law into his own hands.
The thing I love the most about the original film is, just like in Blade Runner, the city itself is literally one of the main characters. The musical score also goes perfectly with the incredible cinematography. Brandon Lee's Iconic performance and wardrobe are the third ingredient that makes the original untouchable. This new film has none of this cohesion. It could be any other John Wick type revenge flick if you take away the makeup and the names of the characters. Why they didn't at least change the names of the characters is beyond me. Of course, they did it most likely to cash in on people's nostalgia. I think today's Post Malone, LiL Peep kids will probably love it because that's who this is for. Actual fans of the original will HATE it! 😂
It felt like John Wick, not The Crow
Where's the rest of the characters? Where's Sara? Or the cop? They have a huge roll in the original. Why take them out?
From what i understand they are remaking it from scratch... So Eric and Shelly are the only recurring characters
@@thirstandvanity blasphemy!💔
@@thirstandvanitythey might as well have went with a crow comic line, not eric they shot themself in the leg for sure
so lets just stuff EVERTHING in the first trailer
@@rickyward6675 exactly
The best way they could’ve saved this film is using a different pair of characters in place of Eric and Shelly. If you take away the names you could make this a functional Crow sequel(?) film.
But they’ve also taken away a fairly important part away from this remake. The redemption and letting go.
The redemption comes in with Sarah and her mother in the original, sortof Eric forgiving himself for failing to save Shelly.
And the acceptance is taking the 30 hours of pain and suffering Shelly suffered before she dies as a penance, giving it away to Top Dollar when he’s accepted that he can let go.
when a trailer spit on your face
I felt so pissed and nauseous after watching that trailer. And they seriously switched out the cure with some shitty autotune vocals? 👎
Agreed! It's difficult to even imagine anyone but Brandon playing Eric. Brandon is Eric, and the film had the support of Brandon's wife and surviving family.
It's a shame how many people will watch this movie never having seen the original.
They turned an unlucky goth (in the comic it was pure bad luck what happened to Shelly and him, their car broke down in the wrong place at the wrong time) and that's part of how it hits, into a Suicide Squad Joker-alike ex criminal ganger, because..., This shouldn't be a reboot, it shouldn't be Eric, it could work as a "The Next Crow" with another protagonist as a "The Crow".
Oh thats interesting, i appreciate the background knowledge, but i agree in part, its a terrible idea to "reboot" in this way
Go cry about it 😂
@@somersfamily Go try offer something good about the remake
@@MrTrilbe They're actually alot good about the remake. In this version we actually get back story on Shelly & Eric's relationship. We get to see where it started, whilst the original gave nothing except tiny flashbacks. It's a very realistic depiction of a modern relationship which will I turn allow us to connect better to Eric's motive for revenge. It also will give us context to how Eric Draven finds his way back to the land of the living to enact his revenge, which was also never explained in the original story. It feels as though instead of altering the original story/plot they are adding to it. Which in turn will allow for a deeper perspective & performance from each corresponding actor. Now I understand the criticism of the character design choice of Eric but where it lacks in character design it can easily make up for in performance & story development.
Since everyone wants to criticize characters choices such as designs why not mention that they changed a white character into a black character?? Or the fact that the villain was a young man but has now been turned to some old dude?? I get the attachment to the old film. It was honestly my favorite movie growing up, but this isn't a 1/1 remake of the original. It's a reboot.
But it's modern
"Hey Ozzys in it, oh f$%k its Post Malone nevermind"
I can't stand the music. That auto-tune garbage is so annoying.
You just know they tried to pull us in with Ozzy’s voice but then it all turned to crap as the trailer progressed lmao I thought they would at least get the music correct since it’s a big reason people love the original movie.
Its both, its that song Ozzy did with Post Malone. But that's Ozzy, he's been working with singers from dif genres since the 90's, hell he just did a duet with Elton John a few years back.
@@blaxpoitation8528 thank yoouuu
The Joker meeets The Punisher, what the frick-frack-nick-nack-caddy-whack is this catastrophy
Lol
Couldn't have said it better myself.
You forgot to add "...meets Tom Macdonald". MF looks like like a rapper that turned Goth to look the part, just because he died. Which makes him an effing poser.
"Devil May Crow"
The original comic was a vice to help James deal with the tragic loss of his fiance at the wheel of a drunk driver. And this director decided to make Eric and Shelly drug addicts. Seems like a spit in the face.
Holy shit get with the times😭they added their own twist to it, so fucking what. If they kept it the exact same way I promise you, 90% of yall would STILL find something to complain about
@@rain_in_nightcityand this is why the Witcher isn’t the succes it could have been. Directors and writers need to stop pissing on the fans and basically saying f you to them
@shanti3310 the Witcher was doing fine before they recasted Henry Cavil 💀you aren't the most important people in the world, they aren't solely catering to YOU. Yall need to understand that.
@rain_in_nightcity Well, that in itself is the problem...they SHOULD be catering to US...because WE are the fanbase! There wouldn't be a worthwhile property to exploit if it weren't for US.
@@rain_in_nightcity the Witcher did not and is not doing fine! Also to change a few things is a total different thing than to pretty much change the feel of a story! The characters, the look etc etc. And I think that’s why this crow won’t be a success! And many don’t care that there is a reboot but the problem is that Bill plays Eric Draven.
I've just wasted the last hour or so discovering this remake, watching the trailer and listening to various peoples opinions on the matter in a stunned sense of bemused horror.
My response that I've plastered elsewhere is: There's no sense of the sorrow of the story in this trailer. No shadows. No heartbreaking poetry. Just violence. Just lots and lots of violence.
It might be my imagination but I'm pretty sure that each time I see the trailer they turn up the auto-tune on the soundtrack another notch just to keep the pressure on my peace of mind.
But after multiple watches I'm beginning to suspect that, if it wasn't trying to be a Crow film, there is the basis of a watchable vampire movie buried in there.
Edit: I typed that before I watched the Valen summary and I believe I may have come to the same conclusion.
You've made the best point i've seen about this Valen - they're just trying to cash in on the nostalgia of the crow. And it's a shame, because the original crow is A:) a fitting eulogy to Mr. Brandon lee B:) a goth-grunge masterpiece C:) The best halloween movie ever :) when watching the new crow trailer it reminded me of a line from the original crow "Victims, aren't we all?"
The original with Brandon will never be beaten! Brandon Lee was the crow!!!!
The music alone...
So they made an SoundCloud rapper (I’m a big rap head ) the crow 😂😂 I was a teen when the first one came out and I loved it
He has gone from a musician from the original to a criminal in this new version , I loved the camera scenery in the original
"Blue collar worker" in the original comic (most say car mechanic but that's not made clear).
Do some research. There are different looks, and they added that in the 1st film 😂
This pretty much shows! That everyone's knowledge is from the movie. Noone has read the comics. They are taking elements from The Crow Wild Justice. Y'all need to read more
@@sketchy4383 Personally, it gives more Death and Rebirth vibes. Even then, they shouldn't be calling them Eric and Shelley if it's going to be a different story.
Isn't he a junkie in this movie? And wassup with that haircut?? Bill Sarsgaard is better than this. She's atrocious though. Her acting was an earsore
With a lot of remakes I’m inclined to think that my reaction is just an inevitable part of living for so long: everything you ever cared about gets brutally vandalised beyond recognition, and naturally you loathe it. It is the way of progress. Let the kids have their new fangled crack pigeon messiah, or whatever the freshly percolated fbomb that even is, because it ABSOLUTELY ain’t for us 😅
I watched the original as a teen. Even the sequels weren't up to that first one but tried to maintain what made the first one so iconic. The series was ok for its time (think Highlander and Kung Fu the Legend Continues and go much lower). This new one is, as you say, set up to fail. You are right, it's the aesthetics what I remember most, and the choice of music. The music here puts me off just as much as everything else and if I'm being disgusted auditory as well as visually, I can't take it. It's an offence against all senses. If I ever watch it, it will be when it becomes available for free. And that is if I remember it exists when that happens. It doesn't have any hold in my memory to try.
Damn, he doesn't look like "The Crow". He looks like "the Bro"
After watching this trailer I pulled out my graphic novel and the original movie because I was so disgusted with what they've chosen to do in this new take on the material, they really should not have used the name Eric Draven...... The Auto-Tune in this trailer clinched it for me that I won't be bothering with this movie at all. It just looks like a John Wick Joker wannabe with The Crow slapped on as a title for name recognition.
Did you know that the name Brandon means little Raven and crow. I know this because it's my name. I wonder if Brandon Lee knew that.
I didn't know that. Wowsers!
In what language did this originate from then?
Please let Brandon Fraser know, would you?
@kiillabytez if I remember correctly, it's either Irish or old English. And I'm afraid you're a little bit mistaken. His name is spelled and pronounced a bit different. It's not Brandon Fraser it's Brendan Fraser.
@@Brandon_Powell
Brandon is a masculine given name that is a transferred use of a surname and place name derived from the Old English brōm, meaning broom or gorse, and dūn, meaning hill. It is also sometimes a variant of the Irish masculine given name, Breandán, meaning "prince".
I really don't know where you got the idea the name was derived from the species of a bird.
"I know because it's my name."
Someone lied to you. You can do better.
@kiillabytez I did some digging. Not much at that. The Crow and little Raven meaning comes from the Welsh. I don't need to do better. I did just fine.
I think this would make a good Crow movie, a lot of the subsequent comics are excellent... However, making this a retelling of the original story is a huge mistake...
yup if this was another guy not eric i wouldnt have mind the new take but not like this this aint eric.
even then it doesn't capture the feel of The Crow, just looks like any generic action movie, looks like an emo john wick
9:10 that sums up EVERYONE's reaction to this piece of sacrilege disaster.
What about Detroit? in the OG version the city was sorta a character in and of itself. Devils night? I saw this trailer and I think they missed the mark on too many things. I know its not supposed to be a "remake" of the 90s version, but they they'te not not even hitting the comic book beats well. The character design is OK is you take aways MOST of the tattoos. Oh and eric draven was a rock musician not a Sound cloud mumble rapper look-a-like lol. And Eric's revival in the OG was more impactful. His litterally digging out from 6 feet under. I don't know, my confidence is pretty low for the new film :(.
My problem is that why remake the story and give the main characters the og names if you’re not gonna add that sweet, melancholic tragedy? Literally what made Eric and Shelly’s death so horrible was the fact two innocent lovebirds were brutally, devilishly murdered by a gang of rowdy murders. Whether it was comic tragedy or film tragedy (tho the comic book version was WAY more fucked up cuz fun boy literally freaked Shelly’s dead body). This? This right here? I don’t see any of that innocent love between them; literally it’s like that music video of a couple smoking, sex, then fight then make up. And it’s a shame cuz love Bill, he’s a good actor but he could’ve done great in this if the director decided to make the comic book version come to life or make this into another sequel, cuz the crow itself can resurrect any tragic dead character and pay that sweet justice. In a nutshell: this is a gangster movie
Before, I started watching peoples reactions of this "trailer", I watched it on it's own...
And I kid you not, when he said, in his whiny voice, that he is going to kill people, I started laughing. That "movie" is a mockery of itself.
Someone saw an early test screening of the movie and about 2 months ago they wrote about it and seeing the trailer, they were spot on with everything they said, he said the movie wasn’t good but the main actor did a good job and it was ultra violent, he even said the look of the title character was inspired by modern day artists like Post Malone to be exact, don’t waste your money seeing it.
Oh yeah I def won't watch this crap. I'm sticking with the original.
They could’ve made it where he was just another guy who suffered the same similar situation, so that’s why the similarities to the original, but I wouldn’t have rebooted this I just would’ve added another story to it the original
What makes the original Brandon Lee movie have awesome staying power for me is the overall atmosphere, the script / quotable lines, the look of pretty much every aspect from characters to locations, Brandon's unfortunate demise and the fact the movie was set to send him to super stardom just like Enter the dragon would have done for his father....then again a fresh perspective? Bill is a good actor....the.....look.....haha....dunno🤷😂
What I loved so much about The Crow ( I wont call it the original cause to me there was only Brandon Lees version) was that Brandon portrayed Eric not just as a vengeful being. He was sad and crazy over the loss. Sad in a way a person who has lost everything yet is still alive Crazy for having all this anger and pain he only knew how to channel it towards his victims. I always felt like revenge movies forgot about that part of the human nature. Yeah sure you are angry that the bad gang killed your wife but where is all that pain and hurt you have inside that feeling of loss. Brandon exuded so many emotions with that character. It was a love note to death and revenge.
Agreed. The range of emotion Brandon brought to his character was wonderful. One of my favorite scenes was with him and Sarah in the graveyard where he gives her Shelly's ring and they say their goodbyes. The pain on Eric's face over having to leave Sarah makes me cry. Brandon was so talented. The original was a gem. Every character worth their salt, and made the movie magic. ❤
This Chaos diety is struggling with it.
I want to like it.. I want to give it a chance. But I can’t see “Eric” all I see is “Pennywise’s gothic brother Pencewise” 🤣
Also that trailer is WAY more graphic than what we got in the US. The one I saw had such minimal details but SO MANY PEW PEW SCENES! So I’m a little more impressed with the trailer you showed us.
They appear to be drawing on the love and nostalgia for the original movie, but modifying it for 'modern audiences' who don't have any connection to the original. The Crow was one of the first movies I ever bought on DVD.
This almost feels like John Wick with superpowers.
"It can't rain all the time"
They always say these remakes are for the new generation but when you actually hear people talking about, even Star Wars, the new generation hates the new shit !
I think also the chemistry of the original actors and the power of the original was portrayed so well and captured that true love transcends the horror that happened that brought the crow to Eric. The whole movie aids in the real haunting goth effect all through of the real tragedy of Brandon dying. I remember watching it at the theater in 94' and thinking of Brandon gave his life for this movie. Was hard to get out of my mind but had to got back and watch it many many times. You can't make it better than the original.
I FULLY agree with you on most points. Especially being that The Crow was indeed the most iconic Goth movie, for akl of us growing up through the 90's.
The WORST part of this trailer for me, is the portrayal of Eric Draven.
That being said, I can only hope that the reason for the original writers taking this direction
is to target young audiences, and bring them something fresh, and hopefully it will at least do justice to the original film. *fingers crossed*
I love Bill Skarsgard's work, most of his movies that I've seen were great, and his acting is spot on.
I like how the story is a little more in-depth, and kind of gives you a 360 degree look at what really happened, and why the goons went to "collect a debt".
However I have to say that most of the characters I've seen don't look "rugged" enough. It seems to polished, and pretty.
I will definitely give it a chance, mainly because of who's playing the lead role. But as for how the rest of it looks, I guess only time will tell.
btw I love your red suit jacket.
It wasn’t just a regular murder. It was being forced to witness the love of your life die and being so absolutely powerless under forces that you can’t even fathom fighting.
It really is frustrating to see how afraid Hollywood is of making new and original movies. It’s as you said this could be an alright movie if it stood on its own, a modern telling of a tragic death then revenge. That’s compelling on its own. But they had to link it to The Crow so instead of letting it stand on its own and shine with its own merit it’s putting it against something it is fundamentally not. I hope this era of nostalgia ends soon.
I'm going into this new version having learned the lesson from the "Robocop" remake. Treat it as a completely separate movie detached from the source material. That way it'll have some chance of being entertaining. Basically I'm trying to talk myself into it because, bloody hell, this film has none of the soul the original had.
honestly you said it all and i couldn't agree more. i have no desire to ever see this movie. it is frustrating watching hollywood continually taking BELOVED characters and franchises and just stealing the name but not honoring the essence of the source material or having any respect for the history and tradition around them. the first time i read the crow it gutted me because of what actually happened and who Eric and Shelly were, just people in the wrong place at the wrong and the injustice of the events would not allow Erics soul to rest. In the trailer there is a point where "time is running out to save her". She didn't need to be saved, he had to avenge and lay to rest everything so that he could go to her. James O'Barrs pain and anguish in dealing with his own personal loss and tragedy poured through every page. While the original movie wasn't 100% accurate to the source, the characters were still largely themselves and felt at least very near to the graphic novel. and you're right, the graphic novels and the movie were hugely influential on and informed by goth culture, a very hand-in-hand sort of experience. where's the melancholy, the dark macabre, the horror? so disappointing.
"Grifters, aren't we all."

No matter how good or bad the movie is the original is always gonna be here to satisfy us
100% on point with this review of a movie that basically is made of tropes and plot points from several movies like John Wick, Suicide Squad, The Batman, and Punisher. Instead of the original source material and original movie, which would have been useful in making something fans of The Crow could appreciate. It’s like some baboons in Hollywood decided to shit on the original and want to bask in the glory of their interpretation so that they could make this money grab and like the Fast and the Furious franchise move forward with sequels that are far from what the original was.
If Twigs & Bill can make me believe their love is strong enough to pull him back from the other world, I'll forgive the mullet.
O’Barr actually isn’t involved on this one. He was back about 10 years ago when the idea was to remake the graphic novel and he was on record then as stating that the comic never had last names, so you could remake the original source material while maintaining Draven as sacred to Lee. Similar to how there’s a Bela Dracula and a Francis Ford Coppola Dracula.
When they decided to literally resurrect Draven, he bailed and understandably so. It wasn’t an anthology series prior to Lees death and he made it that way after the incident to protect Lee’s legacy.
This isn’t the original source material as even the director said it was gonna be. This lil Pep, SoundCloud rapper BS might even be awesome as it’s a modern aesthetic (unfortunately), IF IT WASNT DRAVEN.
If they could completely redo Sonic The Hedgehog because the fandom freaked out, simply changing the names of the characters for this would be easy enough and I’d watch it then. 🤷🏻♀️
I'm not a Goth, but I have a lot of love for the sub-culture and esthetic. I own 3 of the 4 Crow films and I love them all for different reasons, yes ik how terrible all the sequels are and their problems I don't care. This remake to me just seems bland and boring. I've seen this movie. And I'm not interested in seeing a boring action film staring emo MG Kelly.
Brandon Lee just like Heath those characters that they played make it even more haunting as they’re both passed away in their prime
In the original movie Shelly was taking photos of Draven's band, when she gets bullied by some yobs and he steps in... Now they're both drug using criminals? How about, no.
Does everyone forget the reason O' barr wrote The Crow? It was because his fiance'e got killed by a drunk driver. so I don't believe that he would be ok that Eric and Shelly met in a drug rehab.
Is that a Crow reboot I smell crashing and burning at the box office? 🔥 😎
As a super fan of The Crow, I learned one thing about why they haven't successfully made The Crow move over: They have to please two types of fans: gothic and dark love! I am not gothic, but I respect your culture. I support the thin line of darkness between pain and love. I will give it a chance, but I agree with you.
They're just making it more appealing to the younger public, the looks, the "modern day rap style gangster outfit". Wouldn't be surprised to hear some trap during a fight scene. I bet my young cousing who's into that kind of look and style is going to love it.
The new Crow movie is from the 1997 comic book Crow Wild Justice. It is a prequel by James O'Barr. The tattoos are the same tattoos in the comic book.
I would want that, if they did a movie about Michael Korby who has all the tattooed markings. But this is meant to be Eric Draven 😅
Whenever I hear they do these types of Films for a “Modern Audience” I just envision a Megacorporate Studio person combing a desert in search of this elusive “Modern Audience” with Lawrence of Arabia music playing in the background!🤣
This crow looks more like fun boy than the crow.

If the trailer was meant to be nostalgia-bait, I think it's done in the worst way possible. Others have said much of this, but:
The returned soul can be anyone, sure. But the choice of character is the base flavour of the revenge story. OC Eric was an artist, a performer, and shared a love of poetry with Shelly. That comes back throughout the movie, in the quotes, the drama. The rooftop guitar scene. We get nothing here. They're ex-cons. OK, and?
The OST was amaaaazing. Gonna dig it out next chance I get. This is generic junk.
The original film revelled in the contrast between the baroque but menacing Top Dollar and crew, and the ordinary lives of Sara and the cop. With Eric constantly bouncing between them, and the light and dark of his memories.
Here we get guys in suits. Opera, possibly?
And if the point was a new audience, I'm not sure I get it. It's 'something so terrible', but he's running out of time to save her? He's got the powers of a God, and he's shown as unkillable. What's the tension? What makes it different from whatever other action movies on around then?
I'll see how it does in reviews, but I'm not hopeful.
Jack Sparrow has a UA-cam channel?

Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow.
@@mariusdraculiera3866 What was I thinking
Re: the makeup/costume, there IS actually a look in the comic that mirrors this look almost exactly.
Re: the story, they're basically re-making City of Angels (the 2nd movie).
Re: the overall aesthetic, yeah.... I'm with you on that, Valen.
So having now deep-dived the universe, the make-up looks most like the gorgon blood tattoos of Michael Korby. The story seems like a mix of the second movie and the fourth movie (with a psychic girlfriend) with the protagonist of the first.
Literally all they had to do was say that it wasn't Eric Draven, there's plenty of Crows so it didn't have to be him. But no, they had to piss all over it.
The Crow can do this for literally any soul. Why they have to rewrite and retcon THE ERIC DRAVEN really pisses me off. If they made this legitimately a different person two decades later that got the same treatment from The Crow this could end up being awesome. But the direction they went with really puts me off.
Brandon’s look, outfit , even his hair just worked! I’ll give the new one a shot but the original was perfect !
the crow turned hummingbird
I've said it before, I'll say it again: if it wasn't Eric but Another crow I'd be fine with it, if this was a different couple
I'm a 70's born 90's goth. I have a bus stop posted of the The Crow from when it came out. It was iconic for me too. This. This just makes me so sad. It's totally lost the beauty and tragedy and art of it all. It's the same as so much media as we get now. It's cheap.
The funny thing about the whole "new generation" thing in movies is that it failed spectacularly, I'm 30, I should have been the target for this whole reboot crap since star wars, I wasn't impressed, none of my friends were impressed, nobody thought Rey was a good and relatable character and nobody I knew in my own age bracket ever thought it was needed to change the formula that much, this movie seems like it's going to follow the same pattern, a shame since I actually like Skarsgard as an actor.
Would have been better as a Crow story with a different character. It would have actually been well loved if it paid respect to the lore in doing that. If instead you told me that this was a backstory for the Joker himself and that the crow was a hallucination, he survived his death and went mad I'd say "Yeah, I can see that."
An eldergoth I can relate to those of us who saw the original when we were growing up. However, I will still watch this one just to see it for an action movie. I won't be going to the theater to see it. I'll wait until it's out on Netflix or something lol.
Loved your review. I was incredibly hopeful that things for the Crow in this movie would be a tilt of the hat towards all that we know and love about the original. However from the trailer you can see that all the Darkness/mystique of the character & the Gotham city type of vibe has gone. What made the Crow so iconic of the time was not only the look of the protagonist but also the world/universe the crow lives in. This feels like a generic type of world, devoid of the characters that made it so good.
If you remember in certain moments from the original, there was also heart running through all of his motivations. When he gets the ring from the shop.... When he visits funboy and darla then talks to her in the mirror.... The iconic quote in the street "It cant rain all the time"... The list just goes on and on... You can tell from this trailer that unfortunately this is a complete original take on an iconic character that already has a plethora of mythology behind him. Many who love the original material will most likely not enjoy this film unfortunately.
However, if I take my Crow glasses off and see this as a film that's not the Crow, I would be able to enjoy it for what it is and not what its trying to represent, and that is the character who we all know and love Eric Draven🙏🙏.
This should have been a different crow, or a totally different action movie. It's not The Crow. If they didn't change the aesthetic I could tolerate more of this. This trailer just makes me want to rewatch the original again.
2024 Eric Draven looks like
Peso Pluma + Machine gun kelly
😅😅😂😂😂
This is Bradon Lee's legacy and they should have simply changed the name. Because its not even the same as the original. Its way different and honestly I am with most people who grew up on the 90's this is Penny Wise mixed with the Joker... I don't like the idea that this is a remake and the director who did the first one has a very personal opinion about it and I am with him on it.
The only reason I'm giving this a chance is because of how good Bill is an actor. Dude looks massive here making crow look more raw anti hero but i hope they bring the story in a good way. Ntg else in my head 😂
My initial impression and expectations are quite similar to yours Valen, the look and feel of this is so completely different that it does not feel right for me. To your point yes if I knew nothing about the Crow franchise it would feel like a trailer for a DC comics character. To that end it could be Solomon Grundy if they just had a bulked up mobster looking main character and changed a few other details. I would have been okay with that but here we are.
As a veteran of the Goth/Post Punk scene myself, I agree with your critique of this trailer. They have completely stripped the Goth aesthetic of the prodigal film. It really saddens me that they couldn't leave the original film as a testament and a memoriam to Brandon Lee. To me, that is extremely disrespectful and thoughtless.
Another issue that I thought you would mention but didn't, is the music used in this new film. They have Ozzy Osbourne with some auto-tuned rapper/whatever when the graphic novel, according to James O'barr, was heavily influenced by the music of Joy Division and The Cure. The novel even has their lyrics incorporated into it.
He also said that Eric Draven's look was inspired by the body of Iggy Pop and the face and facial features of Peter Murphy. If that isn't catering directly to the Goth/Post Punk community? Then I don't know what is. The music was a very important component of the graphic novel and even the first film.
In my opinion, as beloved as the original soundtrack is to a lot of Crow fans, in my opinion, even that one was somewhat flawed. For a film with such a Goth/Post Punk vibe and look, it had almost no real Goth/Post Punk bands in the soundtrack, save one or two and a couple of songs as well. The rest of the band lineup consisted of mostly 90's "Alternative/Grunge" bands which make up the majority of the soundtrack. To me, that was a HUGE mistake.
How cool would it have been to have beloved Goth and Post Punk songs in the original soundtrack? You know, to this day, it's one of the very few things that I can't really get into about the original film. Whenever I watch it and one of those other songs starts playing in the background, I always picture hearing some other song by a real Goth or Post Punk band _(and I have to say, I've thought of some pretty awesome songs that would fit in perfectly in those scenes)._
Pretty cool review upload here. I enjoyed watching your reaction to this "trailer". Nod in your direction...
Book spoiler
Shelly in the book gets GR'd on the side of the road plus fun boy get his turn after half her head is gone.
Oooffff that is even more brutal than the original movie 😭
The Crow, The Craft, The Cure. The 3 C's. All real goth heads honor these things RELIGIOUSLY.
I remember everyone said the same thing about Daniel Craig and Casino Royale, who proved himself to be one of, if not THE best Bond in not just one, but two of the best Bond movies made.
I look back to when Sam Raimi made Darkman. He couldn't get the rights to make The Shadow. So the decision was to make a movie inspired by The Shadow. I guess it bothers me that they made this movie ONLY because they have the rights to The Crow (at least that's how it looks at first glance). The original Crow movie should be inspiring movies in the future. Let's not rip The Crow off.
This feels like DC joker version original story
Thank you for sharing your true and honest opinion about this. I see a lot of clickbait reactions to this trailer claiming to be a negative response but then they watch it and are totally okay with all of it. Joker look and Pennywise speech aside... Yeah, I like Bill as an actor, but his delivery of most of his lines in the trailer are spoken or screamed like a shaky voiced pre pubescent teenager... one thing I'm not really hearing anyone talk about yet that I noticed right away is the fact that he is just willy nilly bleeding all throughout this trailer every time he takes a hit, this is already problematically gore just for gore's sake. The lore showed us that IF HE BLEEDS AT ALL, shit just got real and he is mortal again and in danger and weakened and knew he needed to be careful at that point. Not this guy, he straight up bleeds out several times in this showing and just gets back up la dee da. Oh, and also that Eric Draven the character was a pretty stand-up guy from what we were shown, not an ex convict that we are being forced to look up to or relate to. No sort of hero, this guy is apparently already a piece of shit. The romance doesn't feel like the great love of Eric and Shelly. This seems more like they just met in prison of all places and are just kinda getting to know each other.
There's so many thing wrong with this movie I definitely agree his name should have been anything but Eric and her, Shelly was beautiful and made to seem pure and precious wtf is this Shelly they could have done better then that !!
I feel like the first mistake is retelling Eric's story. That was never going to end well. Especially for a cult classic such as this. If they had stuck to the gothic tones that defined the movie, while paying homage to Lee's oringal film. I think it would've had a chance. In a universe where the crow can pick anyone. The sky is the limit, but we have to remember the foundation that made the oringal a hit in the first place.
Gotta say I never watched the original movie and still, I thought that I was watching the trailer for a prequel for The Dark Night :D
I feel for you and the true fans even for the first time watching Brandon Lee ‘s version and appreciate it till this day !!
Remake. Its supposed to be different. I dont understand why everyone just wants the same movie with what, better special effects? Silly. I like seeing movies get a bit abstract, as long as they still make sense and the acting and script are solid. Learn to appreciate things. I think this looks like a beautifully shot film with deep, interesting characters, LETS GO ❤️🔥
