I was quite surprised to find that there wasn't a topic on this. Any fans of The Crow here on the forums? I know the film was based on a comic series, but I never managed to get a copy of that, sadly. For me, The Crow is a great film because even though it is a dark horror film, it had that feel-good factor...strange I know but I felt oddly satisfied when Eric got his happy ending and the gangsters got what they deserved.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm sad in a way that they are going to remake it, as I feel it's a stupid idea to remake an Eric Draven film. I -really- hope that instead, they use another Crow from the actual comics because there were many and well, the other Crow movies were really crappy in comparison to the first one with Brandon Lee. It was a shame Brandon Lee died during the filming of this movie and I'm glad they still released it. The soundtrack for this movie was also really great.
I agree. Why a remake? Its fine as it is, it doesn't need modern special effects or CGI to 'improve' it, it would take away from the legacy. And I didn't know about sequels, but I can imagine how bad they might be. And as for the soundtrack, the part where Eric is playing the guitar on top of the building is amazing!
The Crow is an amazing film, I love how they quite literally brought Lee (RIP) back from the dead in order to finish the film. The atmosphere is incredible, and whilst it is an immensely bloody film, it isn't over the top. It is a beautiful film which leaves a long lasting impression. It made me cry so many times, and I always feel really bad for Sarah, I just hope that Darla became the mother she needed to be. I saw a video once that I thought was amazing, don't watch it unless you don't mind spoilers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u9l9A0vScA IIRC it was a prop that malfunctioned edit: I'll wiki it
