toonyjakes The Crow is a cult classic for several reason I think, but it is not made for everyone. Do I think it is a flawless movie? No. But in that sense, along with everything else to like about it, I think it's awesome as a whole.Plot- It's about a musician being resurrected by a crow, which then obligates him to avenge the murder of his girlfriend. If you're a majorly picky person when it comes to realism, just note, this is a fantasy movie as much as an action crime thriller. The story is told straight forwardly, with interjections of flashbacks and about one montage, with the main driving force being revenge. There are pretty funny moments, some twisted, and it all takes place within two days (I'm pretty positive) Has a good ending scene that will stick in your mind.Writing- I love it. I know there are rare moments, mainly with the little kid, where it's a fine line between cliché writing and bad acting. But there are definitely some good quotes to walk away with, a lot of natural conversation that isn't useless in terms of the plot. Always nice to have that.Acting/Characters- Brandon Lee is stellar in this role. It's a cool thing to see, for it appears he wasn't in many popular films that would allow him to actually act. In this film, he is full of life within his emotions, which makes every scene so good to me. The supporting cast is great too, minus the little girl. The bad guys are infamously stuck in my head after seeing them shout "FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!" like animals. The main villain is very good too, unpredictable, and played very well.Quality- The production design is killer, absolutely original and cool. It looks like the darkest, most off kilter part of New York or New Jersey. The cinematography is sick, I'll never forget the scene where he finally finds his strength and runs across the rooftops in the night. The filming, the scenery, and the original soundtrack is so great in this movie- so original, and that's why I think it is considered a cult classic.Overall, if you don't like movies that have anything unbelievable in it, don't watch this. If you can simply embrace a movie for the good qualities, understanding it's fiction, this movie is super cool. It's so sad to see somebody absolutely knock out a performance (referring to Lee) and pass away on set. Anyways, this is one of my favorite movies, easily top 10, simply because of the genuine scenes and the unparalleled style. Try to find a movie like this before it's time, you most likely won't. I recommend it highly.

paulclaassen A Fantastic tale of undying love, and revenge. This is undoubtedly Brandon Lee's best performance, and sadly also his last. It also happens to be my favorite vengeance-themed film. This is perfection all the way, from the plot to the acting to the visuals and somber atmosphere. Michael Wincott is perfectly cast as the antagonist, and Brandon Lee is simply brilliant! The scene where Top Dollar (Wincott) and his gang opens fire on Eric (Lee) on the table is incredible!

Pjtaylor-96-138044 There's this pervasive and, at times, slightly off-putting overtly Gothic, madly melancholic aesthetic perforating not only every frame visually but also the story itself straight down to its core. It's this strange style that makes 'The Crow (1994)' both wholly unique and, oddly, a little too self-serious to be taken wholly seriously. There are flashes of greatness here and there, though, with the mime-faced protagonist's tender side playing well off his darker, almost scary one. The actual action sequences are relatively flashy, fast-paced and practical, though the elephant in the room of Brandon Lee's onset death remains an uncomfortable factor throughout, especially during any gun-play sequence. Overall, the flick is an enjoyable revenge thriller that does what it sets out to in its own way and, while it definitely isn't for everyone, that's an admirable thing considering its genre. 6/10
