Why The Crow Remake is a FAILURE

[@viktorvaughn7341]

This movie really gives insight as to why filmmaking is no longer an art in Hollywood, these unwanted cash grabs with familar/established IP's created with no care for the source material or end product and then the producers and higher-ups are confused when the movies bombs...

Remakes are all Hollywon't can attempt. Otherwise, it isn't as though they'd take a chance (which is IRONIC) on something new which is unknown but contains proper storytelling basics, amazing character arcs, powerful thematic underpinnings, and the potential to take the world by storm. It's too risky. No one wants that. Risks on new things is bad. Old yet already known IPs, franchises and brands are "safer".

In the original, after having been beaten, stabbed and gang raped, the first thing Shelly does as they take her away in the ambulance is to ask where Eric is. The second thing she does is asking about Sarah. Even after all she went through she was more worried about the man she loved and the child she had all but adopted off the street. Bruh.

A great movie at the right time. What luck...huh. Should never of been revisited.

[@SewerTapes]

If I were a studio executive with sway in the project, the last thing I would do is remake The Crow. A remake invites almost exclusive comparison to the original, while a sequel or spinoff, especially the fifth movie in a long dormant series with only two watchable entries, is afforded the blessings of far lower audience/critic expectations. They ended up canning most of the source material in an attempt to be different anyway, so why not just make a different movie altogether? I would have pushed for a faithful adaptation of The Crow: Flesh & Blood. The bar immediately lowers to City of Angels, which is a much more realistic hurdle. Clear that, and people would be more forgiving when it inevitably falls short of the original. I find it baffling that the studio opted to trample The Crow's potent nostalgia, rather than nurturing or even capitalizing on it.

[@SeasideDetective2]

The 1994 film was right to depict the Draven/Webster relationship in brief flashbacks. Real-life romances are not fairytale-like, and can be - and usually are - boring and awkward. If you turn THE CROW into some kind of dark and edgy rom-com, what you're left with is a sort of bathos in reverse, because all the blood and thunder that comes later almost fails at being justified by the banality that preceded it. I can already imagine a realistic adaptation of THE CROW: an on-again, off-again courtship in a bustling and impersonal urban environment. The lovers bicker and struggle to understand each other, but manage to remain together because it's so hard to find a soulmate in the big city. Then the girl is slain in a gang crossfire. The boy buys a gun, tracks the gang members to an alley, and shoots them all dead. The end. Almost like a parody, isn't it? The "hero" became a mass murderer for pretty much no reason.

Unlike other hero’s who have healing factors like wolverine who has other abilities outside of his healing. The Crows main power is his ability to heal so showing how OP it is would only make him more badass. It’s honestly such a shame that they couldn’t do that until the end.

I really, really, wanted to give this remake a chance when the production said that they were doing "a retelling of the original comic" (its why Stairway to Heaven has a place in my heart) but it failed so hard in a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material: The Crow, at its heart, is a fairytale which is where it's timelessness comes from.

A few facts about the 1994 film. It was made for a budget of $23 million and made back $97 million at the cinemas. This at a time when movie tickets cost just over $4 mind you. Think about how many people saw it at the cinemas. The Crow remake however cost $50 million to make and has only made back just over $21 million at the cinemas. It would need to make between $100 million and $150 million JUST TO BREAK EVEN. OUCH! That's not going to happen. I'm so happy to see this piece of TRASH crash and burn as it deserves to. The 1994 film had HEART provided by Brandon Lee, Ernie Hudson, Sarah the kid and much more. This film has NOTHING. You can't hold a candle to the original. Thinking I will finish my review of the original and put it on my channel soon.

1:00 So, it’s like The Grinch (2018), but even worse.

I thought it would be a silly, fun watch. it was actually exhausting to watch. I have nothing nice to say. least of all about the irritating dialogue from babyvoice tigs. I pray my brain suppresses the memory of suffering through this "movie"

Just why

The opera scene would have been better if I hadn't checked out completely at the ~35 minute mark.

You know its a bad film when over time it doesn't grow on you at all; you just despise it even more. The more I think about this film (and I sat through the whole thing at the cinema!) the worse and more wretched it becomes. I think it must surely mark the end of Rupert Sanders' short Hollywood directing career. His brief filmography runs to just 3 films, and while Snow White and the Huntsman did ok despite mixed reviews, his other 2 have been box office and critical duds. I will say though that the design for Ghost in the Shell (2017) was 1st class, streets ahead of the vacuous look and style of this disaster.

Because it's 2024, everything is shit

Wait… they killed the main characters the same way a toddler supposedly would accidentally choke? Dawg… just poke or bite a hole in the bag! LMAOOO!!! 😂😂😂 I’m dyin over here! God what a shit movie

[@homemoviemakers9464]

Hmm ... Well the script as the script.... However, perhaps this movie has to be watched without comparing... That is the problem and here it ends.

I find it hilarious people are bashing on the movie because it gives you a backstory the first didn’t. I didn’t feel any connection with Eric and Shelly in the OG one. They just die right away and we get some minor flashbacks of nothing that makes you feel sad for Eric on his way to revenge. Y’all were gonna complain about the movie regardless of how good or bad it was just because of the obsession for the OG and it wasn’t even that good to begin with. It was just loved because of the tragedy of Brandon Lee which was terrible itself but that movie was far from perfect

Even if we pretend that this is not a remake, but an original movie, it's still very poorly written. You don't even know what exactly you're watching - is it edgy romance for teens? Is it horror? Drama? Superhero movie? Characters are not memorable and not likable at all, they have zero personality and no chemistry. And "Shelley's" acting is genuinely bad. Like "Bella in Twilight" bad. Atmosphere is nonexistent, the picture is just too sanitized and sharp.

Even the sequels are better than this one 😂

[@BlackPrince24]

The trailer itself already showed no love for the IP This is basically a Wish version of John Wick with the Crow IP slapped on top. Heck, John Wick does a better job as a Crow movie than this reboot.
