| The crow was a great movie, I mean not ALL the acting was great, but brandon lee did a great job. And since ravens and crows are my fav animal, it seemed fitting. Not the best movie, but definately worth owning.

I finally saw it yesterday and while it was good, I think it lost something since there have been several movies that copped on it. Since I saw those first, it makes The Crow seem like the copy when it was really the original.
Same thing happened to Die Hard.

I thought it was kind of cool and unique when it came out, but nowadays if you've seen some of the other same genre movies you wouldn't think of it as anything special. The "copies" have sort of overtaken the original in terms of flashiness.

| Put it in the "gotta see list' I'd give out. It was good on its own merits (great soundtrack, great action, Great plot line) as well as being Lee's last film. the sequel sucked. Sorry. In college I had "The Crow" on the same tape as "Highlander" My roomie and I would play the tape on a boring saturday night and watch....jam to the music and watch the kick ass action. good times....

| I would definately recommend it, it's pretty good. It was better on the big screen though. Also, too true about the kick arse soundtrack. "Burn" by the Cure is a good theme song for nuking calories on the treadmill.

| The Crow is one of those movies that I have always wanted to see, but just keep putting off. A friend of mine has a huge DVD collection and we are working through those movies that I have missed. The Crow is on there for sure.

Don't forget an awesome soundtrack as well.
As for how it holds up over time, I recall Lee's performance as being solid, and the script was decent for an action film. I wouldn't rank it as one of my top 10 movies ever, but it's still good.

The Crow was an awesome movie, both in terms of action, and in philosophy. There were so many things that were said by Brandon's character, Eric Draven, that still ring true. The best being "It can't rain all the time", which to me reminds me, no matter how crappy the world is at any given time, it will get better.
The sequels to The Crow, I was OK with the second one, City of Angels I think it was. The rest, especially the latest with Edward Furlong was the biggest pile of crap I have ever sat through.
The origional is always better that the rest of a series!

Perhaps one of the quintessential guy movies (violence, martial arts, dark humor) The Crow is among my favorite movies of all time. My question is this, gentlemen. Do we remember The Crow as being better than it truly was because it was the last movie made by Brandon Lee (Whose career was cut far too short, in my opinion, not unlike his father's)?
I ask because the sequels to the movie were doo doo.
Irregardless, I like the movie immensely, and that probably isn't going to change.
