- djaggMarch 17, 2025🎶 Love will tear us apart again 🎶 The direction and editing in this is so chaotic. Lulls a bit at points and some of the side stories weren’t great but decent revenge plot. Enjoyed a lot of the stylistic choices and the action sequences didn’t take me out of the film which was nice. Such an incredible soundtrack. The NIN cover of Joy Division’s “Dead Souls” fucking rocked and I love how good they’ve been for soundtracks/scores for three decades. Idk why I waited so long to give this a watch. Solid horror flick! Good cast! Very reflective of the time period it was released in lol Obviously the story of Brandon Lee is tragic. Dude had a ton of charisma for sure. Idk if it’s just bc of the fatal circumstances, but his acting here reminds me of Heath Ledger’s Joker but also maybe that’s just the make-up 🤡 Lee’s acting is very raw and unrefined however reminding me of Nic Cage lmao so draw a line. All that said…..not a great performance from the nepo-prodigy imo 😔 I’m sorry just a weird role to be canonized for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Love random David Patrick Kelly roles! His consistently eccentric roles are always a delight. Honestly think it helps bolster the film imo. Jon Polito is phenomenal in this as well!
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Fantastic movie that delivers on all fronts. It's beautiful, intense and interesting.
- IAMKWESTMarch 7, 2025Don't judge me but this is without a doubt my favourite movie.
- Mr. DFebruary 7, 2025I like this movie. But the 4k version is quite revealing. One of those that leaves you questioning if the original darker 1080p is better.
- Pissed Off PapaFebruary 6, 2025This is a movie that should not have been duplicated, To me its desecrating the man, the legend, BRANDON LEE Its about righting what was wronged, two innocent souls were taken and they cant rest till the wrong is fixed.
- jackmeatFebruary 5, 2025My quick rating - 9,1/10. A masterpiece. My review from 1994: It is only about 4 hours removed from the theater as I find myself at my computer to type up this weekends Flick Pick. Unfortunately for this night, it is more in memoriam. I'll give a slight bit of background to this. As many of you may know, this is Brandon Lee's final film, as he was accidentally shot during the filming. This is a gut-wrenching loss to many, especially the Lee family. It was only a little over 10 years ago, I realized that the amazing martial artist my grandfather had shown me movies of as a kid, Bruce Lee, had mysteriously died as well. Now some 10 years later, I sit and write this review in hopes that as you read the newspaper today, you may come to see this is much more than an entertainer that has passed away, but a family that is cursed. The task at hand is to review the movie without reflecting much on the fact that this is likely to be another finale to a career cut far too short. The story begins with the resurrection of a dead rock star named Eric Draven (Lee) after being murdered, along with his fiancee, on the eve of their wedding. His soul is transported to the next world (according to the narration) by a crow; but when a spirit is unhappy there because of unsettled business on earth, sometimes the crow will bring him back again. And so a year later, on All Hallows Eve, Eric reappears on earth, vowing vengeance on those who committed the murders - and the evil kingpin who ordered them. This basically sums up what storywise you need to know. What you see though is a stunning work of visual style (the best version of a comic book universe I've seen) and Brandon Lee clearly demonstrates in it that he was well on his way to being the next big action star. All of this merely exists to allow Alex Proyas to delve headfirst into a surreal and gothic world rarely seen or imagined to this stunning extent.... My review from back when I wrote for a local paper continues and is located on my website at https://jackmeat.com/the-crow-1994/ I am not advertising my new review site yet since it isn't live as of 2.06.25 but will be soon.
- [ e c k o b a s e ]October 30, 2024A definite reminder that, you don't need 1 hour to setup a a backstory that's obvious to the audience, yeah I'm talking to you The Crow (2024)
