The Crow: Salvation (2000)
Better than second
This movie is better than the second Crow movie, City of Angels but this movie, like COA, could never equal the deeply moving love story of the original with Brandon Lee, nor the magnificent actor that Brandon Lee was. The Salvation lacked any real emotion. The acting wasn't too bad but the dialogue was delivered with an unreal quality like it had been badly rehearsed. The violence was gory, unlike the original Crow movie. The sensitivity was not there, and the scenes, including the background was not made to look real and looked like it was all done on the set. The original Crow movie had me in tears at the end because the love story was so touching; The Salvation had me shrugging my shoulders wondering why I even bothered to buy the movie.
The Crow: City of Angels (1996)
Movie not that great
I guess I was expecting a movie as good as the first Crow movie and I was terribly disappointed with City of Angels. Not only was it not even close to the superb acting and story line of the first Crow, it wasn't even close to being related to it in content, context, or special effects. This movie, rated as a movie by itself and not compared to the first Crow and Brandon Lee, is a mediocre half-baked attempt to keep The Crow alive. Extreme violence and a sexual scene that leaves nothing to the imagination makes this movie a candidate for late night viewing when all of the infomercials and paid programming is on. I would not watch it again and it did not stir me in the slightest like the first Crow movie did. Some gross scenes were not necessary and the movie could have been much better. The cast did a superb job though, and in recognition of their superior acting, this movie should not reflect badly on them. I hope the rest of the Crow movies are much better than this one.
