[Highly rated reviewer]

Although Brandon Lee did not have many films to his credit, this one turned him into a legend.

Shelly and Eric were very much in love. But no one gets married on Halloween, not in Detroit. Shelly is raped and beaten by city boss Top Dollar's thugs, only to die 30 hours later in a hospital. Eric is shot and pushed out a window. A year later death is no longer what it was as Eric Draven, accompanied by a Crow and gifted with new powers and a world of grief and pain, is brought back to life to avenge his love's death.

Director Alex Proyas claims he has never seen a sequel to his film on the basis that no one could do justice to the main character like Brandon Lee... I agree with him. Lee's performance as the vengeful soul is one of the greatest I have ever seen on film. He exhibits confidence, cunning and menace, while at the same time communicating just enough pain and depression to stay true to his character.

Made with passion, performed with intensity, designed with precision and influence, 'The Crow' is an unheralded masterpiece of the 20th Century.

Greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, and anarchy: now that's fun!

Brandon Lee, rest in peace.

Dim the lights; Get in the mood...

By gainsb1 (36 reviews) , 10 May 2013

This was pretty moody. Although the storyline isn't new, the setting and the supernatural element appealed to me and made it quite watchable. Not bad.

Dont take it seriously just watch and enjoy..

By Kingofhoror (8 reviews) , 08 Mar 2013

I liked it but for some reason expected it to be alot more serious of a film, it was fun to watch and actually quite easy to watch with a good plot and characters but things like the lead suddenly stopping mid killing spree to play a electric guitar at the top of his roof and a surprising amount of jokes almost makes it a comedy.Still a good film though.

BAD TRANSFER

By TheSpecialist (7 reviews) from Birmingham , 04 Sep 2012

[Highly rated reviewer]

The Movie is very good. But The Bluray should be given 1 Star.

The Blu ray is no different to the DVD version in picture quality. Sound is ok . Rubbish transfer. Do not buy this UK version. The American Version Has Remastered picture and sound.
