Considering this site seemed to be posting negative vibes about the film, I find it interesting that they give it 6 out of 10, slightly above average.

EDIT: The Hollywood Reporter was not impressed.

The Crow is a sluggish, overly self-serious gloomfest that never takes wing. Given the long string of directors and lead actors attached to the project over its 16 years of on-off development, the overworked, lifeless result should be no surprise. I suppose at least we were spared the Mark Wahlberg version.

I mean, I’ll eventually watch this because I’m a little piggy that loves their slop but at no point in the last 24 years have I thought to myself, “I need to see another goth revenge fantasy version of the previous four goth revenge fantasy movies.”

I’m sure the cinematography is on point and the actors did their job of being actors, the bare minimum. It’s just… where can you go with this franchise? First movie was good, the next three were the same story with a different color pallet.

Not sure who was excited about either a retread of the original or a fifth movie.

Shit… I talked myself into wanting to watch this. Did this get made for zoomers? Will this be a zoomer Rosetta Stone for us aging millenials?
