DVD Reviews of The Crow (Miramax/Dimension Collector's Series)
DVD Review: THE BEST CROW EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
There was the Crow comic book, and there is this movie.
the orignal comic and this movie are by far the best versions of The Crow.
after this movie were several movie and comic sequils, a tv series that remade the story, and a comic series that did the same thing.
NONE of these were in any way interesting.
this IS the BEST version of the Crow. just as the orignal comic is the best of the comics.
the rest is garbage.
there have been other actors cast in the roll and one even playing the same charture of Eric Draven.
frankly I think that is a diservice to the memory of Brandon Lee
to recast his role and have someone else do it.
lee is the ONLY actor who does it well.
and it is not only lee who plays his part so well.
there is
Michael Wincott
who is excelent as the villen, Top Doller, he steals all his sceans.
the fact is becaus of lee's tragic death, on the set of this very movie, some sceans were shot with a stunt double.
and yet Lee is still very much a large part in the movie with several sceans.
this movie is about the dead coming back to life.
and that is very much punchuated by having Lee brought back to life in this movie.
so this movie is the only one that is need for a collention.
the rest are not worth the price of admission.
the story is of Eric Draven who is killed along with his girl friend. some time later Draven is back to take revenge against the muggers who killed him. he faces Top Doller in a final battle and gains peace in the end.
this movie is about reserection, revenge, atonment, and redemption.
again with the movie having lee it is the theme of the dead returning.
one of my favorite sceans is when one of the muggers is about to hurt Draven's girl friend and he quotes from some book about the Devil fearing good, and the mugger only mocks that. he mocks the power of good. but then Draven straps him to his own car with a bomb. and the mugger then sees the 'awful power' of goodness. I rather like that.
this is one of the best movies ever made.
defitly a great 'superhero' movie.
and again.
the best version of the Crow story Ive ever seen.
DVD Review: Heartbreaking to watch after what happened.
Summary: 5 Stars
R.I.P. Brandon.
I loved this movie when it came out. I think I saw it five (not kidding) times at the theater.
Heartbreaking watching this now, especially the scene where everything slows down when the trick or treaters are running by and Brandon's laughing.
What a horrid tragic ending to a career that was just starting to take off.
A great movie and everyone owes it to themselves to at least rent this movie.
Not a good movie for kids, but if you don't know who Brandon Lee was, this is a great place to see him shine.
DVD Review: The Crow DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie and this edition with all of the extras did not disappoint. Great interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff perfectly complement a fantastic movie. I'd recommend this in a heartbeat.DVD Review: His dying breath lives on forever
Summary: 5 Stars
Brandon Lee was a shas]dow of his father, Bruce Lees, amazing legacy of giving 100% in all that he said and did. To him, there was no small part, only small actors and he proved it in being the absolute BEST in every part he ever played. The Crow was, and always will be, his masterpiece both in life and in death. As a fan, my fiance and I have gone to puut flowers at his grave several times. Last time we went we were sitting, on the bench between he and his fathers grave, talking about the movie and how erie it was when the crow came and sat on his charecters grave to call him back to life to settle accounts. When we had gotten back in the car I turned to say goodbye and bless them both where ever they may both be, and right in front of both our eyes as well as his sisters, a crow floated down with the ease of an angel and came to rest on Brandons grave. While he and his sister were franticly looking for a camera, the crow turned and I swear it looked directly at me, stared eye to eye with me. I have yet to feel such a peace of well being in a grave yard again. Then the bird cawed and with a lift of wings disappeared into the trees.
PERFECTION OF THE SOUL!
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It was easy to locate what I wanted and it was delivered rather quickly. It was brand new and works great.
Description of The Crow (Miramax/Dimension Collector's Series)
The Crow set the standard for dark and violent comic-book movies (like Spawn or director Alex Proyas's superior follow-up, Dark City), but it will forever be remembered as the film during which star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed on the set by a loaded gun. The filmmakers were able to digitally sample what they'd captured of Lee's performance and piece together enough footage to make the movie releasable. Indeed, it is probably more fascinating for that post-production story than for the tale on the screen. The Crow is appropriately cloaked in ominous expressionistic shadows, oozing urban dread and occult menace from every dank concrete crack, but it really adds up to a simple and perfunctory tale of ritual revenge. Guided by a portentous crow (standing in for Poe's raven), Lee plays a deceased rock musician who returns from the grave to systematically torture and kill the outlandishly violent gang of hoodlums who murdered him and his fianc?e the year before. The film is worth watching for its compelling visuals and genuinely nightmarish, otherworldly ambience. --Jim EmersonCatch the explosive, action-packed hit that thrilled moviegoers and dazzled critics everywhere! Brandon Lee (RAPID FIRE) plays Eric Draven, a young rock guitarist who, along with his fiancee, is brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals. Exactly one year after his death, Eric returns -- watched over by a hypnotic crow -- to seek revenge, battling the evil crime lord and his band of urban thugs, who must answer for their crimes. Loaded with intense, nonstop action and a hot #1 hit soundtrack, THE CROW delivers exhilarating, fast-paced entertainment!
