THE CROW 2024 Movie Review | ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!

[@Robert-ht7om]

Having this version of Eric and Shelly using drugs feels really disrespectful to the original, not because of the scene where Eric saves Darla, but because Eric Draven and Shelly Webster were a shining light in that dark city in the flashbacks we see how despite the horrors and sadness around them they were this happy loving couple and when they died the city got so much darker.

The fact that Shelly and Eric meet in a rehab and their love is expressed by leaving rehab, getting high, and having sex in a penthouse is just foul. Modern Hollywood really thinks that's a love story that would transcend death?

[@devilman7670]

That aspect of the original crow film stuck with me for my whole life without even realizing at first. It was a clean, pure love without sexualizing the characters. As someone that's been into music subcultures their whole life, this ideal carried over as well. Now it seems like our society is constantly promoting drugs and sex, even shitty movies like this remake are clear cut examples of our moral decay

[@jasonagodfrey]

Ok. That’s rather vomit inducing of the informative kind

[@sjent]

Modern Hollywood is so twisted and perverted, that it does it best to present bad as good, villains as heroes, etc. So of course they take universally negative traits and try to present them as positive. They try to present themselves as rebels, as counter-culture, but they are so foul, that best they can do is malice.

[@thehater6189]

The gentleness of Eric and Shelly is what makes them so likeable and the story so beautiful. They're soft and sensitive people who meet the most brutal of ends and this makes the audience want Eric to get revenge. This is a dork with face tattoos who seems to embrace his badassness whereas the 94 film was far more subtle

[@pixiniarts]

They are supposed to be innocents, this is a clearly defined demarcation point in the comics and the '94 film understood that. It's why I refuse to acknowledge this one even loosely as The Crow Eric and Shelly as criminal drug addicts is the ultimate spit in the face to The Crow.

[@isapheonix]

@@pixiniarts aside from possession and use of drugs i didnt get a sense that they broke any laws, which i have feelings about addiction being criminalized. Instead i got the sense they were addicts who had both come from abusive situations and loved each other in spite of the pain theyd gone through. It was what was especially important about erics character finding out about shellys ugly past and still wanting to save her from pain.

[@thehater6189]

@isapheonix i have yet to see the movie, but in the original, no time is wasted establishing the characters in detail. We are just told they are innocent people, pure and gentle. The new ones may be innocent, but they do not seem pure and certainly not gentle. As such, it is easier to empathize with them and even to get behind Eric's rampage and character development.

[@isapheonix]

@@thehater6189 ya the original you dont know anything about the the characters at all when they die. I didnt even remember the womans name they spent so little time on her. She was nothing more than the tragic inciting incident with the standard rape trauma. This time i actually know the womans name is shelly. I didnt get a sense that she wasnt a gentle person in the new movie. She was involved in dangerous situations by her clearly narcissistic mother at too young of an age and was trying to escape that. Further I dont need eric and shelly to be pure just people trying to do good when theyve been dealt a bad hand is good enough for me and to be honest, i find it far more relatable. And the idea of a person confronting the worst of the one they love and choosing to love them anyway feels more like love to me tbh. Also I LOVE that they got rid of the magical asian from the original. That whole thing was weird. TBH i have seen both and actually prefer the new one. Its not full of the 80s moralizing about "just say no" and pretending that quitting drugs is so easy that was in the first one, or the racist hypersexualized magical asian character, or any of the other silly ass tropes.

(Usually by highjacking beloved IPs) Then add AI. DEI. Etc. Like modern day customer service, our satisfaction isn’t a priority. Me: “and how’s that going for everybody?!” Lol Most of these sequels/reboots arent legit and inspired, they’re attempts by boardrooms full of assholes to rip off fans (as we’re perceived to be stupid money-burning content vampires/zombies lining up for “the next one”). One can only hope several years of massive $ losses for all studios will teach someone something and maybe the ship can be corrected. Though probably they’ll just dive further into AI trying to make em for cheaper and wonder why everything sucks and losses are stacking.

The Crow has two main themes - love and grieve. Love is shown in the relationship between Eric ans Shelly, Grieve is the whole revenge plot. For me it seems that someone at Lionsgate went and said "Well, we have 4 John Wick movies, each crazier than the last and Bill Skarsgaard got great reviews as the Marquise. Let's do something with love and violence again!" And that's pretty much all they took away from the crow movies - lovers are killed, he returns and enacts vengeance, brutally so. The eomtional component fell flat, even in the Wick movies it didn't matter after the first third of the first movie and Hollywood trying to sell love as some communal trip on substances and sex ist just cringe.

They were rude and crude, but in today's society, Unfortunately, they wouldn't get made because people are always walking on eggshells, and you can't make a great comedy movie like that in that state. Another great movie is Blazing Saddles, but unfortunately, because of society today, movies like that will never ever ever be made again because people are such thin-skinned individuals

In a world where remakes often fall flat (looking at you, Crow 2024), Mark’s performance brings back that raw energy and spirit that made Brandon Lee unforgettable.

The Crow is something that should be treated with more respect. The fact that the Crow even exists is a tragedy.

Then of course Brandon Lee tragically dying on set. I'm not saying The Crow is a sacred book/film, but it needs to be approached with more respect than this remake.

Just got out of the theatre. Quick notes. 1. very German aesthetic 2. Recombines modern action tropes like "Kill Bill" with"John Wick" 3. Kinda touched on "Constantine" vibes when Eric was resurrected 4. Thought the ending was a "Donnie Darko" allegory of fentanyl overdose. 5. Thought the main villain was a predator with tons of underage sex abuse undertones. Film alluded to physical abuse with Eric's childhood. 6. Again very German! No love in the romance story. I don't know if you could have told this Epsteinesque narrative without latching onto the Crow's mythology, but it definitely had a message against the trappings of the material world.

[@carolusrex5213]

If being very german kills me because the comic and original movie was set in my hometown of detroit, not an accurate detroit but a very Gothic version of is, that's why they keep referring to devils night since it is an actual cultural thing for the city of detroit and would often lead to a lot of crime and arson

[@CEOMisterJohnSaxon]

I think your review is well articulated. No one has any business remaking "The Crow." I work at a movie theater, and I get tickets for free. My theater screened "The Crow" in May for its' 30th anniversary. When I saw the trailer for the remake, I was so irritated that I paid for my ticket to see the original in protest. Last night, instead of seeing the crappy remake, I ordered a copy of the 30th anniversary 4K UHD edition of "The Crow," as well as James O'Barr's graphic novel and Bridget Baiss's book "The Crow: The Life, Death & Rebirth of A Classic Film." This will be a fun weekend of ignoring the remake and celebrating the original!

[@Makoto03]

I knew the reboot would be awful. Even the sequels made closer to the release of the original weren't good. This franchise should have just been one great film and ended there.

[@Pokemonashgreen2]

It's not a reboot, more of a reimaging

[@spud69g]

There are no sequels. Same as there are no other Star Wars than the original unremastered trilogy.

[@josueviridian]

They should bring the original back to theaters and I bet it’s going to do better than this one in the box office.

[@jessesullivan7102]

Love the Crow but no it wouldn’t make money at all 😂

​@@jessesullivan7102 Agreed and you know what? Maybe its better that way. I don't want the mainstream to touch it.

[@bryanjenkins496]

Hollywood should stop remaking old movies that were good and remake old bad movies instead

[@amerk6601]

It's hard to gauge on even the bad movies, whether they should be remade or not. Some were just so bad they were good... Zardoz! As weird as the movie is, I can't really see it being any more satisfying if they were to remake it and make it more coherent and logical.

[@vernamckinnon129]

The 1994 Crow was a movie I never watched because of how Brandon Lee died. I watched the news when it happened. It was tragic. I decided to finally check it out. And you are right. The original is great. I recall those 80's-90's films. Often the small indie flick was better. The orginal Crow was heartbreaking about a tortured soul seeking justice. I loved Brandon Lee in this movie. The story of his love unfolded without nasty angry tattoos and drug addicted jerks. The love story's background unfolded throughout. Eric Draven and his love were not drug addicts or jerks. But good people. Ernie Hudson and the kid who was their friend were great for rounding out the tale. The horror of his fiance's end-only because she sought justice against eviction in their building. And the cat! They saved the cat. The gritty gotham-like city. The fate of the bad guys. The shadowy film quality and imagry. It was great in that B movie way. Based on the trailer to the new Crow, they only took the title. Darn you. Now I have just ordered a copy for myself on bluray. Of the orginal Crow of course. The new one is an abomination based on the promos alone.

Tonight in honor of the new Crow's release in theaters, I will be watching my 30 year old copy of the 1994 Crow on DVD. The graininess adds more to the movie's atmosphere than the blu ray in my opinion.

The only movie I liked in the same sort of genre as the Crow is Mandy with Nickolas Cage. I dont know if the inspiration was from the Crow but it would be a spiritual successor.

@Patriot1428 why is that a cringe compliment? This is what I hate about our society now. Complimenting someone or saying something nice nowadays has to be a "cringe" thing. You can't be nice to someone without them or someone else screaming "weird, cringe,creep,etc." Damn ppl are ridiculous.

It was a troubled movie production. At one point Harvey Weinstein had a hand in it, which in retrospect sounds lewd.

[@jkellyid]

The first crow perfect or not is kind of untouchable because it had such a horrible production and yet arrived at such a entertaining film despite the tragedy beset it. Its a kind of artifact. There is no reason to even attempt to remake it.

[@jonq8714]

Can we please get new IP's instead of the endless stream of reboots and remakes please?

[@hellomark1]

See, when City of Angels came out, I was excited, because like they said in the first one "sometimes people come back" if their trauma is too great and unresolved. And I liked in interviews where Brandon said "what's this guy going to be like? What's the right and wrong way to behave, if you came back to life? No one's ever done that, how's that going to make you act?" which I think comes across in him making dark humour jokes/gallows humour etc. So I couldn't wait to see what someone else might do with it. What we got was someone acting exactly like Eric Draven :/ the idea has potential, but I don't think Hollywood can tap it.

[@Bubbagunooch2]

The crow is among many movies that should be left alone. They can not replace nor come close to the greatness of Brandon Lee/original movie. I would never support this garbage. There's only one crow

[@masterofallgoons]

The movie may be terrible, but Skarsgard's haircut is a crime against humanity.

Good movies don't need a remake and any film crew that trys should be made to pay for the production out of there own pockets.

I was named after Brandon lee I was born about 2 months after he passed so the crow means so much to me! It’s a one of a kind masterpiece! So I hope this is the last time they ever try to remake it.

im sure that…actor brandon lee would be honored ❤

[@shawnkroll3950]

Eric and Shelly were good people. The wanted to help people. They were fighting unlawful evictions. Just like Erine's character he was the lone good cop...it was suppose to show how bad the city was these characters were light within a dark world. The Crow was meant to be dark..not just gory. It was suppose to show you that Eric was NOT just about revenge...he helped people namely Darla to see they were making bad choices. I had a feeling this "reboot" would be bad idea.

[@DoxxyThrash]

i enjoyed the flick ..decent retake not really a remake...but yes the 94 is godsend... you explained it so good..like wow ..they coulda used this input on the set tbh

[@ajmurtagh27]

Eric and Shelley were so unlikable. Shelley felt toxic at best and a narcissist at worst. I spent way too much time watching two people whonlooked to be in their 30s behaving like they were 17, trying to record a SoundCloud album. It was cringe personified.
