The original Crow movie shouldn't be remade


The original was a product of the time. Brandon Lee's appearance in that movie, his character's rock-star background, and the gothic imagery ... it all aligned with the brooding grunge music scene of the 1990s. Brandon Lee's death, morbidly, also added another layer of awe to the movie.

You just can't recreate the context in which the original movie came out. Best to leave this one alone instead of remaking it

Totally agree! The charismatic Lee was perfect in it. Every Crow movie and series have been mediocre at best.

You mean you did not like Edward Furlong.

I didn't know about the Furlong version until you mentioned it. Wikipedia says it was a straight-to-video movie because it was so bad.

There were earlier Crow movie sequels and a TV series that I tried to watch. All horrible.

reply

Correct. After the original all subsequent Crow films have been darn right atrocious.

Everything is getting remade. It's easier to than being original.

A remake won't diminish the original. Besides this isn't the first remake/sequel. Just go watch the original since you can't accept change.
