worst crow movie ever
had the director of this film ever seen a crow movie? br /Bad points of this movie. br /poor Acting br /bad plot br /daylight br /buget wasted on actors as appossed to special effects br /heaven and Hell, there was never any mention of heaven or hell in any of the other movies and now all of a sudden ther is a heaven there is a hell and the main bad guy gets the devil to posses himself. br /voodoo spells. br / br /the only thing spectacular about this movie was the cast whose overpriced wages probably took away any chance of having decent direction, story or the special effects required to make any crow movie work. br / br /this movie is a disgrace to the first movie, A movie that was pushed to be all it could possibly be. br / br /my advice would be to miss this one if you have any love for the original

Truly Awful!
As has been stated earlier this is a truly awful film that combines some of the most wooden acting you're likely to see, abysmal casting and a storyline with more holes than a fishing net! Let's just hope that there are no more sequels in the pipeline and that Brandon Lee's memory/legacy is not tarnished any further...

You know the story by now
Another evil deed, another hero rises from the grave. br / br /He uses the crow's powers to slay the underlings. Then, as usual, the head baddy attacks the crow itself, leaving our hero stuggling. Where have I watched this before? br / br /That said, the action is still great, although the penultimate wedding scene is unforgivably bad. Just what is up with all that [expletive] gangster-type language in a scene where they are supposed to be summonning the devil? A scouse incantation would have worked better! br / br /Overall, I think most fans of the original will not like this one.

PASSION, REVENGE, ETERNITY
I bought this with the original THE CROW THE CROW: SALVATION and I decided to watch it last night in bed. I was disappointed with this entry as it was all about Voodoo magic and don't get me wrong I like some films about voodoo (THE SKELETON KEY) but in this film it just felt it didn't do the film any justice. There is some really well known names in this film (Edward Furlong - (TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY, AMERICAN HISTORY X), Tara Reid (AMERICAN PIE, VAN WILDER), Danny Trejo (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN TRILOGY, DESPERADO). br / br /I wasn't really expecting much out of this film so I got pretty much what I expected and there wasn't as much violence in this as there was in the previous films. br / br /Just as ex con Jimmy Cuervo tries to straighten out his life, he and his girlfriend Lily are murdered in a satanic ritual by a renegade biker gang. But payback is at hand and Cuervo rises from the dead with the power of The Crow to avenge Lily's death and reunite with her in the afterlife. br / br /In the year 1993 Brandon Lee created a very memorable dark and brooding character The Crow, the film had and exceptional script, smart direction, smart photography and a smart cast. Its one of my all time favorites. Everything from the look of the film, the characters (especially Lee as The Crow), the soundtrack and the overall story of love being stronger then death. br / br /CITY OF ANGELS I haven't seen yet so I can't comment on it. br / br /SALVATION I really liked and the film wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. br / br /And now THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER. Unlike the other films this one takes place in the desert. I must admit I was impressed with the cinematography on this film. The desert scenes and the flashback scenes were all done well and looked great. br / br /The film itself?, The direction?, The acting?. For starters the direction of this film was sloppy most of the time. It appeared more times then not the film was confused of where it wanted to go. The characters seemed stuck into scenes with little or no direction and carried the scenes with no skill. Each scene seemed under rehearsed or under developed. br / br /Edward Furlong is by No stretch of my imagination an acceptable Crow, he looks too much like a gay goth groupie instead of a vengeful angel sent to make wrong things right. His costume appeared to steal too much from the original. I thought his performance was bland and tasteless and there was no emotion displayed by his character. I was also not convinced that his love was so undying that he could be brought back from the dead. Boreanez is wasted in this film and if he was directed righthe could really pull off the bad guy look. However in WICKED PRAYER it never feels like we are 100% sure of what he is doing and why. O.k. we get that he is performing a ritual to become the devil but why and what is his motivation, the film never tells us. br / br /THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER is a step down in THE CROW series after the decent enough SALVATION. I also don't think Edward had the slightest clue about the torment behind his character. br / br /I fear now its too late for THE CROW series to pick itself up. I appreciate that they tried something different and tried to change the formula somehow by moving it to the desert and filming in daylight but they failed. Some of the script wasn't delivered by the actors with any emotion behind what they said. The only thing that the film has going for it is the cool name. Its woth buying from a bargin bin for people who want the whole collection of THE CROW films. br / br /All in all its an o.k. film but don't expect a masterpiece. br / br /Thank you for reading my review.

NOT ANOTHER RUBBISH FOLLOW UP!
Of course my all time favourite film is the original 'The Crow'(see my review) All of the other Crow films so far have been devastatingley rubbish and have not yet even tried to surpass the original. brHowever the cast of David Boreanaz(angel), tara reid(american pie) and Ed Furlong(the kid from terminator2)made me think this film was actually worth watchingbrHOW WAS I WRONG!!!!brThis film has a dumb plot to it, the baddies are pathetic and i cant really explain-but the film is really light/sunny there isant the dark, gothic, always raining horror film vibe to it that was the unique factor of the original.brNO WONDER IT DIDNT MAKE THE CINEMA!!! AVOID!!
