Plot:
Because of his tragic death on the set of The Crow, we'll never know if Brandon Lee would have turned one successful film into a popular series. But one look at this tepid sequel suggests that ...( read more

MCT:August 16, 2008That first was fantastic but this was so bad I could only watch 20 minutes before turning it off cause it was so bad.

I understand wanting to capitolize on a fairly successful move, but try to stray a little further away from the leading man of the las movie. In the comic series their are all kind of Crows, even females.
-
MCT:August 2, 2008not nearly as well done as the first (what was with all the pink fog) overly melodramatic and the whole relationship concept got smeared when he started fighting for sarah instead of his son...and a very dissapointing end fight...it seemed like the writer backed himself into a corner and came up with a real stretch on how to get out of it

MCT:July 20, 2008Overall a good movie.
I would have just loved to see this with Brandon Lee playing Vincent Perez's part.
Although, Vincent Perez does do a great job. I think my favourite part is when he's in the 'whore house'. When the lights come back on and he has taken the place of the woman and he says, "Do you want me...baby?". -

I haven't been able to watch any of the other Crows as I don't think I would like it without brandon lee

MCT:May 27, 2008The first movie is a masterpiece, this isn't even an apprentice piece. Half assed all the way, looks cheap and the lead character has a heavy accent making him hard to understand at times. "In ancient greece they used to put corns in the deads mouth." "corns?! OH COINS!"
They even took what could have been a cool ending and botched that. It has moments, but not enough to sit through the drivel -

Not what I wanted to see in a follow up to the Crow movie.
Doesn't even come close to capturing the magic of the original movie. -

thomas jane is an outstanding actor i don;t understand why he keeps signing on to such mediocre scripts

Once again, Hollywood over-cooks a project. Ending fizzles but a talented cast and some good story elements make this film worth watching. Might have seemed better but lives in the shadow of the original masterpiece.
-
MCT:April 8, 2008It fails everywhere where the first one shined. It tried too hard to be a better movie and failed horribly
-
MCT:April 8, 2008A horrible follow up to The Crow, it was one of those movies that just shouldn't of had a sequel but if it had one then go ahead and make as many as you want since The Crow can be someone different every time. This movie could of been fantastic but it still would of been crapped on because there was no way it could of lived up to the hype and the bar that the first one set.

Dark and gothic but also strangely beautiful as The Crow tries to avenge his and his son's lives plus save a girl from disaster.
-
MCT:February 28, 2008
It had great qualities. A great soundtrack, Iggy Pop, and a good solid story. But it's nothing compared to the original. It doesn't even fit as a good sequel...

Remember the girl from the first "The Crow", you know Sarah? Well in this sequel she is all grown up living in Los Angeles as a tattoo artist. But lately she has had dreams and visions, visions of the arrival of another man brought back from the dead by a crow to revenge on the people that killed him and his son. To make it easy, it's really just about the same movie as the first, well except some major details. I don't know the real purpose of having Vincent Perez as the main character Ashe looking, be dressed like and all in all be a clone of Eric Draven. One thing is for sure Vincent Perez does not match up with Brandon Lee. Even the villains are the same, you have a gang of crazy thugs (and a asian woman) and a main crime boss. It's like they used EXACT same storyboard as the first movie, just replace the relationship between a man and a woman to a father and his son. That is another thing, the relationship and emotion between Ashe and his son Danny is far from strong as the one between Eric and Shelly. But "The Crow: City Of Angels" is not all bad, it has it share of good scenes and cool rock tunes. Still, you would be better of just watching the first movie twice instead of this.

Erm, ok. It's alright I suppose. A bit more like a pop movie than a film though. Good in places, like during the Nocha Des Muertes scenes. Quite stylized too with the sodium lighting techniques.
In summary - reasonably good. -
MCT:January 24, 2008Not as great as the original, but still the only one of the sequels that lives up to it. It's the same premise, but different setting. The Crow has a rainy atmosphere, while City of Angels has a foggy atmosphere. Eric Draven's wife was killed, Ash's son was killed. Even though they are almost identical plot wise, I just feel this would be just as good as the first, if the first hadn't came along, nor the graphic novel.

Being the crow fanatic that i am i loved this! its a few years after the 1st one and the young sarah from the original crow is older and helps a man named ash come to terms with the death of his son and himself and get back at the people who killed them!

I didn't like this one, the original is and always will be the only. one in the series worth watching..
-
MCT:December 2, 2007
Ashe is no Eric Draven, and Vincent Perez is certainly no Brandon Lee. Tragic sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time. Although there are a few entertaining bits and pieces, I'd have to say, the best thing about this movie is that it will remind you just how fantastic the first one is...

I like these dark tales of revenge of good over evil.
Well shot too. Great story great effects and great music. -
MCT:November 21, 2007it looks good. it's got a good soundtrack. the actors are decent. hell, it's even got Iggy Pop. but it is horrible and formulaic that all these elements cannot save a bad story.
-
MCT:November 12, 2007
Crap. The original did NOT need a sequel. It's blasphemous to have continued to make the series without Brandon Lee who made that movie.

The second in the 4-movie Crow franchise, this movie lacked a certain something obtained in the original Crow film. Was it the lack of the movie's original star, Brandon Lee? Was it something else? Time only knows.
However, one could also argue that while it was lacking something, it was necessary to have a new star in this movie, much like in the third and fourth installments of the franchise that remained popular mostly in the underground and goth community. Having the same star in every movie would have made the franchise go stale far faster than if it had had different stars in each film.
There was an obvious increase in the level of sex and violence in this movie from the original. That may have been a mitigating factor in the decline of quality. Either way, this movie, sadly, did not equal up to its predecessor. It serves as proof that the original, in most cases, is the best, and can't be improved upon. -

I agree. Vincent Perez cannot beat Brandon Lee. But other than that the story line overall was ok. I just wish Brandon Lee was still alive to play the part, he would have been soooo much better :D

I liked the movie overall, But Vincent Perez didnt play the part of "the crow" as good as Brandon Lee did.
