It wasn’t good when it came out, why would it be good now? I understand this is an unpopular opinion, but it always wasn’t good.
Anything specific? I can overlook a lot of cinematic and technical issues in a film if the script and talent are good.
The script was boring, the plot was…boring. It was supposed to be like this fun, edgy thing and it wasn’t. They sold aesthetic, and for a time when that aesthetic was cool, this didn’t even come close to making it feel cool. I was a kid when this came out, and I saw it then and I didn’t enjoy it. I watched about half of it recently and I still found it boring and not entertaining.
That’s what I was actually afraid of, thanks. I’m not the most critical guy about films, but I cannot abide a weak script.
I loved the Crow, I thought it was awesome, but I was also a kid when I saw it. Nonetheless, differences of opinions are all good.
That being said, I’m not sure it stands the test of time
My friend loved the Crow 2 over the original and that blew my mind because I thought the sequel wasn’t great …
I was a kid too. All my friends loved it. They all wanted to watch it over and over. I found nothing good about it. It always just felt cringe to me.
If you were a kid when The Crow came out, you are too old to be using “cringe” as an adjective.
Edit: ITT: people for whom saying “cringe” is very close to their heart
Wife and I accidentally watched the sequel a few months ago, she was surprised I had never heard of the crow and I kinda had difficulty finding it on streaming. Watched the sequel first because it had been 15 years since she’s seen it she thought that was it. Watching both close together I thought the sequel had a better overall story but production, budget and acting were all severely worse but enjoyed both.
