If I could offer a little insight, it is actually VERY believable that someone who was allowed to not only come back from the dead and exact revenge on their killers, but also gifted with invincibility, I think anyone would be madly amazed AND using every oppurtinity to toy with his/her now-victims. I think you miss the whole point the movie was trying to make. Laugh now, Cry later. You just dont know good acting when you see it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14945924396660410038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-92058815342724776762010-11-22T09:16:44.874-05:002010-11-22T09:16:44.874-05:00You didn't like The Crow?

It's super-dark, which doesn't thrill me, but I'll re-watch it when it's on -- I like the mythology behind it.<br /><br />I think it was a big deal too because Lee's dad died a mysterious death in the middle of a film he was making, almost like a family curse.Nicole Hadawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077456538089754656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-10864860575671858962010-11-21T18:20:08.209-05:002010-11-21T18:20:08.209-05:00Wow, that's actually a really interesting poin...Wow, that's actually a really interesting point Pearce. I think you are right. The Crow gets talked about mostly these days because of Lee's death. It's actually the sole reason I sought it out in the first place.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-1985906943064616112010-11-21T18:12:13.641-05:002010-11-21T18:12:13.641-05:00I actually thought that the comic book of The Crow...I actually thought that the comic book of The Crow and the movie of The Crow were very different indeed - in event, in tone, in characterization, etc.<br /><br />They had the same character names and the same basic idea, but the movie lacked the extreme, heartless sadism of the comic book, and it made the main characer into kind of a hero. For example, I can't imagine the Eric of the movie waiting for a pair of thugs to finish murdering an intellectually disabled kid before cutting off their feet and grinning happily while they bleed to death.<br /><br />And yeah, Brandon Lee was a big cheese. I think that if he hadn't died, he would be completely forgotten now and The Crow would be barely remembered as a silly, violent rip-off of Tim Burton's Batman movies.<br /><br />Getting Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme mixed up is kind of amazing in any universe, though. It's a bit like saying, "Wasn't Dracula that guy with the hockey mask and the machete? And didn't George W. Bush discover that lightning bolts are electricity?"Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585713305682813718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-46777128466450680682010-11-20T07:21:20.105-05:002010-11-20T07:21:20.105-05:00Your intro to this review was fucking hilarious! ...Your intro to this review was fucking hilarious! <br />Being a comic fan, I could see how people might think it's a great adaption because it stayed true to the original source...it sucked just like the comic did!<br /><br />Great review!B.STANKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558201636404539086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-32975361443378137432010-11-20T00:58:55.240-05:002010-11-20T00:58:55.240-05:00This movie was rather a Very Big Deal to many of m...This movie was rather a Very Big Deal to many of my friends and acquaintances as it came out when I was in high school. I agree Lee is quite hammy in all this (and Michael Wincott's hair unconvincing) - but I think the film was iconic in its gothic look, the violence, the revenge bit and the soundtrack. And I think some more successful films like <i>The Matrix</i> and <i>Seven</i> - not to mention Ledger's performance (which outstrips Lee's easily) in <i>The Dark Knight</i> - owe a little to this film.<br /><br />Thanks for a great review!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183686721305419157noreply@blogger.com
