Memo to Edward R. Pressman: Gloomy Goth teens like the Romeo and Juliet stuff, not parental devotion from beyond the grave.

Although the setting has moved from Detroit to LA, the stylised urban wasteland, morbid atmosphere and basic plot remain the same.

Vincent Perez is game, but he--nor anyone involved in this sloppy production--can erase the fond memories of the late Brandon Lee.

Worst of the Crow franchise, which should have ended with Brandon Lee and the entertaining first film.

Looks pretty, but bad scripting makes this an incoherent sequel to the goth classic/

Fans of both O'Barr's source inspiration and Brandon Lee's initial embodiment may want to nit-pick, but this Crow has something to crow about.

Why didn't the producers save all the money they spent on these great sets and brilliant special effects for a script worthy of them?

The city of overacting, the city of bad writing and the city of truly dreadful sequels.

A pseudo-spiritual rock video for the symbolically challenged.
