The Crow 2024 non spoiler rant...
Alright so, flat out I will say I like the original with Brandon Lee a lot more. For various reasons. These are all just my opinions of course, I'll keep things vague. I feel like the original had a kind of flair and magic to it, throughout most of the movie. Brandon Lee's performance was lightning in a bottle. He was really born for that role.
The new one had these moments where it's like yeah man... they captured something. It was ultra violent. Ultra. That I liked a lot, because the original comic story and source material is dark and violent. Bill Skarsgård is great. Whatever I disliked about the film, it wasn't him.
I wasn't too big on his look initially, but after watching it, it fits and worked. The main issue for me, is in my honest opinion lil more build up than there needed to be. That's my main gripe. Many would consider it "slow". However, when it picked up cool. The action was fun.
The story was what it was... what you would expect from a Crow movie. This one was waaaaay better than any other sequel. The original trumps it for me. But that's just me. I say if you are a hardcore fan of the first film and character yes go see it. If you are a casual movie goer, it's worth a ticket but don't expect Terminator 2. It's a love story, it has a lot of build up.
A lot of people were hating on it. I'd give it a letter grade of ummmm... C+ to maybe a B. Not a trash movie at all. Not garbage like damn bro I wasted 2hrs of my life lol. No. I enjoyed it, but went in not expecting some action flick. I just took it for what it was. I didn't care for some of the casting choices... but Bill was awesome.
There are the spills on The Crow 2024. Lil bias I am sure because I like the character in general. Once again the main gripe overall was the build up. But some like that style and speed, and I do too but for certain films.
