The Crow remake was terrible

Unsurprisingly the remake of the Crow was not great but it was at least fun bad. Let's talk messy mind control, doomed lovers, lines written by a 13 year old, and possible time travel.

I don't love that they took two characters who didn't use drugs, and who took care of the child of a drug addict, and had them using drugs in a sexy way. They could have adapted any of the many, many variations of The Crow without using Eric and Shelly specifically.

[@FigmentForever]

Yea it’s just gross tbh. It just isn’t Eric Draven “The Crow” in any shape or form. The first 3 movies (forget Wicked Prayer) are all 10x better than anything this movie had to offer. I watched a CAM copy of this bc I refuse to give the studio any money for this movie.

[@cospinanyc]

​@FigmentForever 3, while not great was a fun movie that was definitely better than 2 and 4 easily and deserves a lot more love than it got as visually with the Alex Corvus character they dumped trying to make him look like Eric(which I hated about part 2) and gave him his own unique look and style, which makes sense as he's a completely different person than Eric. Also having corrupt cops be the cause of his and his gfs deaths was a nice twist to the narrative as it seems every crow film after part 1 has been just evil gang members because reasons.

[@BlackParade727]

​@cospinanyc I haven't watched them all in a good minute, but I can't believe anyone likes the 3rd one. The first is the best obvi, but I also liked the second. The third was just stupid and ridiculous (he was killed like a day or two ago and doesn't look different but no one recognizes him??). I really don't remember what the 4th is about at all, except I was glad it wasn't the 3rd.

[@theninjamaster67]

@@cospinanyc City of Angels is apparently much better if you track down a fan edit recreating the directors cut cause of course studio meddling ruined the film also the comic book version is pretty solid too from what I've heard haven't gotten around to reading or watching either myself but they're on my list as I've heard good things so maybe look into that if you like The Crow films.

[@theninjamaster67]

@CarlyHawthorne-w4t Personally I think the first one gets more credit because of the tragedy attached to it as well as the fact the original comic was actually a pretty big deal before the movie so those two things would've put a lot of eyes on the film which gained it a lot of notoriety.

[@MoreEriksson]

This movie is the epitome of "I'm 14 and this is deep"

[@im-on-a-rolla_gay]

yeah this makes me sad cuz the original writer of the comics, James O’Barr, wrote these to cope with the death of his fiance at the hands of a drunk driver. I haven’t read the comics, but from what i have read about them, it is about loss and grief. So i feel like having a “just kidding she’s alive because love!!” at the end totally defeats the purpose of the story

I was encouraged when I saw that they went a different direction, because there is no living up to the '94 film. It captured a moment in cultural time in a way that can't be replicated. But the choices they made are really weird to me. Eric and Shelly being grimdark emo kids doesn't track for me. I feel like the essence of the story requires that they are pretty normal people, who experience this terrible and unnecessary tragedy. They don't need to be all dark and gothic _before_ they are killed. They honestly seem like people who would have ended up doing some kind of joint suicide. I also don't get them having basically just met. I don't see how that adds anything to the story. It makes his connection to her more of a hormone fueled obsession rather than love. I really don't like the "if your love is pure" thing either. Especially because him "doubting his love" is just a completely healthy reaction to finding out someone you know killed someone. The idea that "pure" love means you don't hold the person you love accountable for anything is super toxic. It sounds like most of the first half of the movie could have been communicated with a few should flashbacks, with the movie starting with his resurrection. Like they could have cut 45 minutes off easy.

I was predicting everything you were going to say cause I felt literally the same way about everything. Omg the part where she is holding a book. You know that meme that’s like “Girl you aren’t reading that book” That’s how I felt about it 😭

[@lamb414]

at least you finished this one lol

[@SieraLynJM]

I just want to know why tf they couldn't have just named them ANYTHING other than Eric and Shelley 🥴

[@MrStevenmann]

I don't know if I could watch this new one. Your review helped push it over the edge. No mention of the sound track in this movie and that was such a great part of the original, why can't they remake movies that need it.

[@mizstories9646]

Well at least they didn't accidentally murder someone while making the movie.

[@soulknife20]

Well. Does it capture the moody vibe of the original? Granted, you can't replace Ernie Hudson.

[@CourtneyRC]

oh no, it feels like a soulless corporate version when comparing the two

[@autumnrenea763]

absolutely not unfortunately. not even close.

[@LilyLovecraft]

There's no way the soundtrack is anywhere near as iconic, f the movie how was the music?

[@nubius]

this is a drunk watch for the dialog alone. But I'm in no rush to pour.

[@simp4marvel]

0:01 it’s nice to meet you Frank

[@skittydraws]

I keep listening to this video and keep asking myself "when do the crows come in? Where are the crows???"

[@landorjonze5308]

I love that even in the movie review Swell is commenting on event security. But was there bag check at the opera!?!?!?!!?!

[@katethegratedcheese]

"They speak in Hot Topic t-shirt quotes" took me OUT 😂

[@drewjay8940]

I'm really surprised that there was no mention of Brandon Lee, but granted, I haven't seen either of the Crow movies. I think they definitely needed to pay tribute to him.

[@ShanaLawson]

This sounds absolutely disgraceful

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

I don't think I'll ever see the movie. But if I had, that ending would have infuriated me. The whole conceit of The Crow series of films was the catharsis of avenging those who wronged the protagonists. There was no revival of the dead loved one. Like ever. I'd be really curious to know if James O'Barr signed off on that.

[@Batman_83]

This isn't the crow. This is more like the raven featuring Eren and Shelby.

[@corvidgreen5332]

really enjoying the experience of learning about this movie because i'm already SO angery and this video is like two minutes in. thank you for letting me know how bad this is because if i went to see one of my special interest movies remade this badly i think i would flood the cinema bathroom out of sheer fury.

[@giorgosmichael9142]

Now i love the original Alex Proyas's The Crow. Alex Proyas is also the creator of the Gods of Egypt movie.

[@raphmaster23]

Im not corrupting my teenage memories of the original with this movie lol

[@Kinkajou420]

I’m so glad I had no idea this was being made…
