Product Description
From Amazon.com
Clean-cut kid Alex Corvis (Eric Mabius) is framed and executed for the brutal murder of his girlfriend (Jodi Lynn O'Keefe). He is revived by a crow spirit guide to hunt down the corrupt policemen who committed the crime, and ultimately to unmask the mysterious scarred man who ordered her death. The macabre noirish spin James O'Barr's original graphic novels put on the superhero mythos translated reasonably well for the original film of the series, directed by Alex Proyas in 1994 and starring the late Brandon Lee. But the premise had already worn thin by the first sequel, 1996's The Crow: City of Angels, and this entry simply rehashes the same story (tragic hero in clown greasepaint avenges beautiful dead girlfriend by eliminating outlandish villains) without adding anything new to the mix. Mabius brings nothing to the role except boyish good looks, while Kirsten Dunst is wasted in a supporting role as the murdered girl's sister. The supporting cast includes career cad William Atherton as Dunst's red-handed dad, and Fred Ward as a police captain with a taste for recreational surgery. Director Bharat Nalluri (the minor U.K. cult pic Killing Time, 1998) ably handles the action scenes and faux postindustrial atmosphere but seems at odds with how to pace or stage dialogue scenes (not that X-Files scribe Chip Johannesson's script provides any worth the effort). Gore effects courtesy the KNB Group and a Sturm und Drang soundtrack featuring Kid Rock, Hole, and others will help hold the most loyal fans' interest. --Paul Gaita

It's better than you think,

This review is from: The Crow: Salvation (Dimension Collector's Series) (DVD)
Okay, honestly, I think that you some of you guys are watching The Crow: City of Angels rather than Salvation. But then again I could be bias. I was a late comer to The Crow series and was introduced to this one first. I saw The Crow next and City of Angels last. This one will truly never live up to the original (Brandon Lee was truly his father's son), but there's no way you can say that City of Angels out does this one. First off, there's no chance in the world that the same person will ever see two people brought back by the crow in their life, that was the first mistake of the second one. Also, in this one, they did follow the comic more tightly in the fact that Corvis knew what he was brought back for, that's the way the comic originally had it. Also certain things about this showed more feeling than all of the parts of City of Angels combined, and Corvis acted like someone who had pure hatred for those who took his reason for living away in the same way (but not as good as) Brandon Lee did in the first one. This, in my opinion, is the only other movie besides the original that has the right to bear the name The Crow in the title.

This review is from: The Crow: Salvation (Dimension Collector's Series) (DVD)
i think those who have been giving bad reviews just didn't give this movie a chance. to be honest, i was a bit skeptical at first as well. seeing how this movie's plot would be so different from the first two, i waited nearly a month after buying it to finally watch.but believe me, this movie was great. darkness, death, destruction; salvation, in my view, lived up to it's predecessors. i really don't know what to say about it, for fear of spoiling the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. all i know to say is, give it a chance. this is a great movie, you just need to keep your eyes open.

How can anyone love this movie?,

This review is from: The Crow: Salvation (Dimension Collector's Series) (DVD)
The only somewhat accurate review ive seen of this movie was by josh who described as a made-for-cable type movie. I wasnt expecting much when i rented it after the second one. But seriously, the second movie was a work of genius compared to this movie. The second one was really bad but it at least had its moments. The second one at least good cinemaphotography, a few good scenes and it had at least some conviction. This movie on the other hand i would undoubtably say had as much conviction as a high school film assignment. They had a few ideas that might have been good on the script but the director botched every single one. The more dramatic the movie got the more laughable it was. I think the whole film was shot in one take. I would put my hand on the bible and swear that i have not seen a movie this bad since Vanilla Ice's "Cool as ice" I literally felt empty and dumber after sitting through it. I can not tear down this movie enough. Please do yourself the favor of renting this movie first if you are curious before you buy it. You have been warned though.
