My quick rating - 4.4/10. I remember seeing this in the theater and being angry about them making a sequel. Now that I have seen the remake, I would like to revisit this and see how they compare. The fact that Sarah (Mia Kirshner) is in this flick already has proven more dedicated to the original 1994 movie. After playing an integral part in that flick, it was a wise decision to use her character to bridge the gap for the newly dead soul resurrected by the crow to bring about vengeance. Some time ago, Ashe Corven and his son Danny were killed when they stumbled across a pack of drug dealers murdering a fellow dealer. Great soundtrack again. Not much buildup, just straight to revenge killings. Iggy Pop as one of the victims. It was clear Vincent Perez was cast as the avenging angel because of his similarity to Brandon Lee which I complained about then as I do now for being a mistake. The point of The Crow is it could resurrect anyone who has been wronged to return to the living so there was no reason to try and imitate his look. Some well-done symbolic scenes such as him retrieving his son and burying him but it plays out more as scenes than a single fluid film. The blood splatter in the shape of the crow was a nice touch. Silly ending. (these were just my notes while watching)
