Worst of the Crow sequels? Worse!


Probably on eof the worst movies of all TIME. I remember I was 15 when I first saw this. My friend at the time was all about it and thought it was better than the original. needless to say, he wasn't very bright and had a drug problem. How anyone could enjoy this hot bubblin' garbage is beyond me (unless you are totally on crack)...The only enjoyment I got out of it was laughing at the horrific acting, especially that of Iggy Pop. Some of the worst dialogue in film history is gracefully preserved within this celluloid dump hole. "Bad news. Someone torched the lab in Manchester and Spider Monkey's a *beep* crispy critter." LOL. Thank you, Iggy. And poor Mia Kirschner. Thank god she got to redeem herself in later movies. Her performance in this film is about as engaging as a yeast infection on prom night. And vincent Perez. Why he was asked to d the follow up to Lee's explosive performance is one of the greatest cinematic disaster-decisions ever. He's good looking...but a total bore. If I were in charge, I would've burned the script and started over with a female lead character. That would've lessened the backlash of fans of the original who were critical of Lee being "replaced" by Perez. And it probably would have been a lot more bad ass.

To be honest, I am a big fan of The Crow: City of Angels but I think you're crazy if you think it is better than the first Crow. Hey, I have never even tried drugs and I still love this film but I can understand why people dislike this film though.

it is 3x better than the first movie... you'd have to be on drugs or a lovesick teenager to not realize this.

Hey, that's cool if you like it better than the first one, I just disagree. I still like City of Angels but it does have some poor acting, mediocre special effects, and sometimes cringe worthy dialogue where as I think the first Crow had none of those flaws. I still dig City of Angels even though I realize it is not a great film like the first one, just my opinion.

Not so sure about that. Great film yes, but better than the first - just not so sure about that.
Vincent indeed gave a far more angrier performance, but 3x better????

This and Wicked Prayer are pretty bad.

Wicked Prayer is by far the worst Crow movie. In fact it's one of the worst movies of all time. But City of Angels is actually pretty good. I think the quality goes down with each sequel. The original is by far the best, City of Angels is decent, Salvation is pretty bad and Wicked Prayer is terrible.
