Loved the first The Crow

The second one, quite frankly, was pretty bad. And I;m not just saying that because they over-threw Jon Bon Jovi for an unknown for the lead role.

I'm actually liking The Crow: Salvation. Still can't hold a candle to the original, but definitely better than #2. I think maybe it's because it makes nods to the first film, both in cinematography moments, as well as careful choosing of certain 'tag words', but it also is it's own movie, and not a desperate attempt at a rehash of the first movie. It doesn't have the same grit, no, but it's got its own feel. And the actor doesn't try to be Brandon Lee, which gave me more time to actually appreciate the job he's doing.

I really enjoyed the first 'The Crow' too. The ending kind of sucked however.

*grins*

The first Crow was the defining movie of about a decade of my life. :P

Yea. Got a piece of advice for ya Bliss.

You ever get into a sword fight, on a church roof top in the rain, at night with the movie's 'hero'? Don't wear boots. Suckers'll make you slip every time. Sneakers man. They suck for the image but damn, that fall was a bitch.

Personally? I'd just stay off the roof.

It was a good movie. Lot of folks got into it. :)

The graphic novel it originated from was even better.
