Yar, you be here: The Crow > Customer Reviews The Crow Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 51 Reviews)They don't make movies like this anymore!
I orginally didn't think i'dlike this movie. I didn't think it was my sort of movie. Thank goodness I decided to give it a try. i wasn't dissapointed. This movie has everything. A good storyline, interesting characters, really messed up bad guys, and not to mention great action scenes and music! Short summary:Eric Draven and his fiancee Shelley are murdered by a gang of two bit hoods on the eve of their wedding. Eric comes back a year later to exact revenge on each and every one of the people responsible. He's helped by crow, and his young friend Sarah and the cop who caught his and Shelley's murder. In a sense tragic and hopeful all in one. Even sadder as it was Brandon Lee's last film. Brandon Lee-an Immortal. Perfect film, Perfect Role.
The movie did good at the box office, and it still is a good movie (or should i say-an excellent film)after all these years. Brandon Lee was a rising star in his day(appearing on the arsenio hall show) to promote rapid fire before making the crow. The only thing i would add if it were possible were to be more fight scenes with more evil goones. Anyway, this is recommended. It is action packed, and Brandon looks great with Corpsepaint. "There Ain't No Coming Back" - "Then Sometimes, Just Sometimes"
Create a dark, foreboding urban wasteland, shroud it in an ambience of depression and hopelessness and then add a cutting edge rock/goth soundtrack and what do you get? Answer, a cult classic that has captured the angst of a generation and given us the quintessencial anti-hero of the twentieth century. Not bad for a small budget movie with a cast of unknowns. Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and his fiancee Shelly (Sophia Shinas) are brutally murdered on the night before Halloween, the Devil's Night. However their love for each other proves to be so strong that even death cannot prevent Eric from seeking revenge against the four men responsible for the homicides. With the help of an animal familiar, the crow, he digs his way out of the grave a year later and returns to the scene of the crime. As another Halloween approaches the Devil's Night is about to take on a whole new meaning. 'The Crow' is without a doubt the ultimate gothic/romance movie of all-time and quite likely the most revered film adaptation of a comic book hero. This is an amazing work of cinematography coupled with a deeply touching story. Despite the high degree of death and brutality in this film it's first and foremost a love story. Now eleven years since its release we can see in retrospect the profound effect this '94 movie has had in influencing the Goth Movement so prevalent today. A true classic to be enjoyed over and over again! Cast: Brandon Lee (Eric Draven), Sophia Shinas (Shelly), Rochelle Davis (Sarah), Ernie Hudson (Sergeant Albrecht), Michael Wincott (Top Dollar) and Ling Bai (Myca).
