    This was poor, a real let down for the series. The whole look was so tacky, straight to video shop fodder and it looked cheap too. Furlong just isn't right here, he looks like a sulking teen emo outta high school. The rest of the cast are video shop d-listers, Hopper there to try...( read more) and save it but cant. There are some nice ideas but it looks like it was whipped up so quickly, it should be so much better.there's also the comic book no no here, they have dumbed it down for the mass audience eg.teens and kids, meaning the violence, horror, goth and swearing aspect is all cleaned up and swept away for a more friendly look, so many good ideas have died this way.

    A hard movie to rate. It's very obviously shit. Anyone can tell you that much. Just look at that cover. Despite it's poor quality it at least tries to be a bit different and give The Crow a bit more depth. First of all the large gothic city setting is long gone. Now it is set in ...( read more)a small town with skyscrapers replaced by deserted landscapes. It's interesting at first, seeing such a bright Crow film. Then it just becomes confusing. I understand that in the first Crow film Brandon Lee's character was in a rock band. His image suited his persona before his death. Edward Furlong walks around looking very out of place and it's just peculiar. The film gives us a whole 30 minutes to get to know our future crow before his inevitable death. Good idea. The previous films chucked us straight into the action. It gives Furlongs later lust for revenge more weight and understanding. Unfortunately before this was a bizarre introduction to the bad guys. Freeze frames, corny names, it was like some kind of western B-movie. The performances barely deserve a mention apart from Dennis Hopper. He shows up in some club talking like a stereotypical black man. Apparently Satan is the original gangster or something. It was hilarious and embarrassing. Macy Gray was there too. Reading that back it sounds like some twisted dream. The Crow - Wicked Prayer is pretty similar to a joke about somebody you respect that has just died. It may be fairly chucklesome, but it is in poor taste. After thinking about it, it's simply insulting.

    This flick is hilarious and doesn't know it. Much as I love David Boreanaz in full goth garb, this movie makes NO DAMN SENSE. And I just don't like Edward Furlong.

    Tara Reid cannot play a convincing breathing and living human being, so I don't know why the keep casting her in those roles the seldom times they do cast her in something.

    There some films that are so bad you gotta love them--but this isn't one of them. I'm willing to give anything a chance. I knew what I was getting when I rented yet another crow sequel but this was just so tasteless. Edward Furlong-- what were you thinking? He basically looks lik...( read more)e a cry baby goth kid who should have slit his wrist prior to being murdered in this film. He plays Jimmy Cuervo. Cuervo means "crow" in spanish. How cute. Am I supposed to believe Edward Furlong is playing a spanish character? Why does he have a spanish last name when he's so obviously not spanish? Another thing I didn't like was that they again recycled the boyfriend and girlfriend get murdered plot. It's old! It was done in the first film and it can never be done any better than that! Stop using the millions of dollars collected from the first crow film to make crappy sequels!

    i thinck that the crow series is greatly miss-understood by the people of the political corect groups they are only about people that have come back from the dead to avenge the death of the selves and the one's that they love what i wrong with a movie like that?
