My honest review of The Crow remake!

- I love the 1994 The Crow movie.
Today I want to talk about the remake that was released this week.
The new movie was directed by Rupert Sanders who did Ghost in the Shell and with Bill Skarsgård the leading role of Eric Draven aka the Crow.
The fact that they remade this cult classic did ruffle some feathers among the fans. You can find plenty of videos here on CZcams where people are ranting about why this was a bad idea, and even the director of the first movie, Alex Proyas, chimed in, stating that it ruins Brandon Lee’s legacy.
I get it. That’s what I felt. It’s what I feel with every remake.
However the movie is here, so let's have a look. Lionsgate tried a more realistic take on one of my favorite comic book characters, and that seems to get in the movies way. This is my honest review of The Crow remake.

For those who dont know the director of this Crow Movie even made a statement on twitter that he understands that you cant really do a Remake of The Crow he admits that he wasnt trying to top the Original He said that this Remake of the Crow was just his own take and his own idea of the character...
Txs for sharing!
Just saw it, wasn’t that bad. The beginning was a bit slow and the relationship build up could’ve been better, but after that it was solid enough and some kool gory kills with that blade. I’d definitely watch it again once it hits streaming. The original is the best obviously tho.
So it's not that bad?
I’m glad you gave the movie a fair chance. I’m not gonna lie, the trailer looks bad, but even if I find this movie bad, I doubt it’s going to be the worst movie ever. At best, it’s going to be mid or average.
There's no chance it's worse than the Edward Furlong Crow.
The Crow 94 is a top 3 all time movie for me. This was okay. It felt like its intention was to be a made for tv show I think it would have played out better over the course of 6-8 episodes. FKA Twigs was fantastic but they should have unleashed her more. Her vibe and aesthetic are very the crow. Why not have had her make original music for the movie and have her input on costumes and aesthetics. For instance the apartment they stayed at ultimately was too bright and vibrant for the crow. Also why was purgatory day time? It brightened up the overall aesthetic of the film when literally everything should be dark and gritty. Using NYC was also weird to me as the setting looked more modern than gothic. Where were the cathedrals, the gargoyles?
The last 20 minutes were good i thought. But The rest of it....... meh.
I’m a HUGE movie enthusiast especially horror movies, aspiring business owner and actress. I’ve already watched 29 new releases this year including the Crow remake. While it’s no where near the level of the original as I suspected it’s still a decent watch in my opinion. ❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed it. Didn’t compare it to the original. That will always be, but this movie was not bad at all. The pacing for me felt good for the movie. Though they did not explore too much of their past, you get a sense of the kind of lives they’ve lived. For the half of the movie, I felt like they’ve earned their chemistry. It’s a connection between too lost souls. Beautiful. The ending fight/violence was fun and worked for me. 7/10.
This is a fair review..I actually feel exactly what he has described..without condoning or condemning..I completely understand
It can't rain all the time
I think you summarize all my thoughts. I was very disappointed by the final movie but it's not that THAT BAD :c
4.5/10
So in other words 4/10 thats actually REALLY bad just be honest.
It’s tough to top the original, but I think you summed up why it was so good perfectly.
And the original will never go away lol
@@michaelmyersplays4992no one said anything about the original going away, jackass
Thanks for a true review. I think most people hated this movie before it came out. So it doesn't shock me that people were waiting to roast this one. However, I personally didn't think it was too bad. And that's coming from a kid that grew his hair out long because of the Crow. Memorized the original sound track. And even dressed up like the Crow for Halloween. But the movie did NOT try to to touch the nostalgia of the original. And because of that, I thought it definitely did it's own thing and had it's own charm. So I personally liked it. Despite some flaws.
Exactly!
Thought I recognized that voice! Didn’t know you had this channel also! Subbed mr overwatch man! lol
😁 thanks man! Yeah I have 3 channels w my shenanigans.
Victims of bad movies aren't we all
I’m looking 👀 forward to seeing this new crow 🐦⬛ I love the original , and look forward to more in the future
You nailed it; the soundtrack to the original is phenomenal. New sub here! Thanks for the honest review!
Thanks for the sub!
7:24 - the “realistic approach” turns really crazy and twisted villains into… suits. Ôo
I might give it a try (if it streams somewhere), but this fact alone dampens my expectations massively. #justsaying
did the og not make a crazy morphine dealer into a occult obsessed slum lord
@@moonrunnin-_ Yes, those were fun times back then.
Diehard fan of the first movie. I actually enjoyed this new one quite a bit 🙏
Finally a positive comment, I was on critical drinker and ppl were treating the movie like a disease on there
@@Hotbox876 Right. I left the theater kind of optimistic it might be somewhat liked by others too, but I have found no one but you lolol
I like this review. Only one I've seen that kinda enjoys this movie. I respect your opinion. I didn't find it all that enjoyable though.
The opera scene (the only good scene) was fucking peak. Especially how Bill PacManned that one guy lol
Hell yeah. The last 20 min were kickass. I wish the whole movie was as well
@@ghostme1635same. The cop and Eric’s friend could’ve been left out
@@a_sea_of_serpents yep. Should have been more action and less build up
The whole movie was peak. You’re blinded by nostalgia.
I’m almost certain they were fighting drug overdose and the bad guys were never real.
All other top creators are shxting on the movie, thanks for being transparent
I loved the original. Nothing gonna top it.i see the new one as a warning against drug use.
This is literally the *only* reviewer I've seen say the soundtrack was anything other than forgettable and the cast was anything other than mis.
Just saying; you have an awesome voice and accent :). And thanks for the review!
I'm somewhat looking forward to the movie, but I'm definitely skeptic based on the style choice of Eric. I'm an old metal head so of course i'm partial to the old Eric. He was a good humane guy who cared about the people around him. But this new version, an addict with attention seeking hair and tattoos on his face that screams self pity, doesn't really make me care for him or his destiny.
Thank you! 😁
Yeah , it is very different take on the character. And the soundtrack. As a fellow metal head and musician I preferred the original, but contrary to what a lot of people say, it is good. Different but good :)
Who can top Bruce lee or Brandon Lee????
They can’t mess with Gen X ….
So great say! The same thinking as I do
I will wait for when you drop the dishonest version
God help anyone who sees this and is expecting a good movie like the first Crow movie...
I haven't seen the original one, nor the remake. I'm usually not a big fan of remakes in general, so I might just need to watch the original sometime :p but GREAT VIDEO!!!
Do yourself a favour and watch the original
The original crow is the sh*t. We never needed this…😮💨🫠🫠🫠🫠
Also, of course real life Rein is gonna like the scene with massive violence 🤣😜😜
We didn't "need" the original either.
We also didnt need a Joaquin Phoenix Joker that craps all over Heath Ledgers legacy but somehow people think it's great.
I don't understand Hollywood anymore. Isn't it so much easier to do a "good" satisfying crow movie (or revenge story) than to come up with this empty waste of potential? Just start with a crow and not a horse (i know, its in the comics), fly through a gothic city (not gotham city) and get right to the action with the reborn Eric 2.0. Put some characters in which make us care, and not junkies that bang all the time and know each other for just a week. some good music. Voila. ;) Greetings from germany and thanks for the video ;)
to my mind, Detroit is as much a character as any of the main characters from the original Crow. Seeing this film take place in what looks like Prague just doesn't work for me. James O'Barr's comicbook had a lot to do with poverty and classism and i don't see that in the trailer. i hope it's good, but my expectations are low and i don't think i'll be seeing it in the theater.
The comics have nothing to do with poverty or classism. It’s about a guy and his fiancee who are killed by street thugs when their car breaks down and he’s resurrected by a crow and seeks revenge. It’s very emo and goth oriented. When he’s not killing the thugs he’s crying inside his apartment and cutting himself. Did you even read the comics.
I saw the Crow on May 13th 1994 and it remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw the new "Crow" at screening last week and hated everything about it. Eric and Shelly's story has already been told perfectly and this just felt wrong and left a horrible sour taste in my mouth. Yes Bill admitted he was playing Eric Draven months ago until Lionsgate got scared and got rid of the last names due to fan outrage. Well too late. They are still Eric and Shelly and I did not care one bit about their love story. The Villain(s) also are hollow and boring. THe action obviously copied from John Wick but also a complete failure and arriving too late. Plus the absolutely horrible exposition having them explain Eric's "Mission". I hated it and am so glad it is going to fail bigtime this weekend and be forgotten about by Halloween. This movie should have never been made and using Eric and Shelly is an obvoius Cashgrab nostalgia bait but it fails in the biggest way possible. Many of the original fans have a deep personal connection to the Crow and this movie is a disrespectful piece of hot garbage. Other than that it was great!
I’m seeing you in every Crow movie review comment section
I watched it last night and yea it's not that great I would say it's as bad as the crow Wicked payer and the crow 2024 ending wow 😂 movie on for 1 hour and 40 mins and it takes like 50 mins to get so what good 😂
Brandon Weeps.
Caw! Caw! Bang! Fuck! It's mid.
Lol this movie was awful for so many reasons. Forget that it butchered the source material. Objectively this movie even sucks as a stand alone
The movie is based on a comic , they remade spider man 3 times . Let it go people . Just watch the movie
Yeah but Tobey didn't get killed in real life while making Spiderman, and Spiderman is a way bigger IP than The Crow. They could had called this "The Crow: (something something)."
@@TimmyJay02 Like the guy said, shut up and watch the fuckin' movie. Or don't. We don't care.
@@tessjoy6196 Nice fake picture dude
@@TimmyJay02Brandon Lee dying doesn’t mean you can’t make another crow movie. If that was the case then crow “city of angels” and the other sequels as well as the tv show wouldnt have been made. You weren’t even born or around when the original came out. And guarantee you’ve never read the comics.
@@tessjoy6196it seems like you do care if this bitchy comment is anything to go by.
It was terrible
Awful, silly, pointless film.
The Crow was so good!! Yes the original lol...the new one was total crap...nothing good about it...was glad it was over😒
It is not the new take, it is the bad storytelling that we don't like such movies. A new take with good story telling would be truly honoring the old classics. So far this is not happening and this Crow is worst of them all.
Objectively, without comparison to the original or the comic, this a fucking horrible movie. The editing is crap. The soundtrack is mind boggling awful. The editing is........who edited this piece of crap? Never let them work again. The story is half-assed and thrown together. Everything about this film is horrible. Even the opera scene. The characters are non-existent. It's just a bad movie period.
You clearly didn’t watch it. It was a fantastic movie
@@leviathan3k2000 What is it like to have such low standards? I can't begin to imagine that. This movie blows in that special way that only a straight wind over a burning garbage dump can.
@@user-rw4hc3vt7owhats it like having such high standards for movies to the point where you cant even enjoy them anymore?
@@user-rw4hc3vt7o cry harder.
@@juan-zf3rl Why are you making excuses for a bad film? What the hell is wrong with you?
Swearing inside a movie review makes you look and sound ridiculous and juvenile.
Ok, Joshua. Thank you for your input. I am extremely ridiculous AND juvenile and very proud of it.
Swearing? Really? That's your issue? Go watch Veggie Tales.
Stfu Joshua leave the man alone, are u 5?
