THE CROW's CinemaScore Has Been Revealed; Director Responds To Backlash From Fans Who "Are Very Active Online"

Trash from the beginning.

Although he's right, somewhat. About people being constantly online, it'd be refreshing if directors just said, "hey man, I tried to make my best movie, and if you don't like it, it's okay, your opinion is valid, just like someone who liked it". And not just attack movie goers if they didn't like it.

I don't get the hate. Mostly critic because from what I see the casual movie goers seems to be actually divided.

I mean ... I get the hate but I do not understand such a low scores. It's not the worst movie ever. On technical level it's actually pretty good. Cinematography, score, songs, some action sequences ...

If only the plot would be better ... It's really not good. The investigation scenes should also be thrown out the window. The ending is also rather confusing, at least for me. I would talk about the ending little more but then i would have to spoil some things.


5,5 or 6/10

Marvel's Punisher: War Zone (2008) was Great very Underrated movie. Lot of great Gore and Action in this movie. I even bought this movie my favorite Punisher and movie. One of those movies I can watch over and over.

I had posted my thoughts on The Crow in the ""Sequel Bait" Ending Reports" article. I can see why people hate the movie, are critical of it and also why they may like it. Updated version of the Crow, new look, new storyline. For me, it was the storyline and the characters that did not get me invested in the movie, as well as the music. I also was not convinced of them meeting and falling in love so quickly, I do not remember if there was any indication of time lapse. It felt like they were just into a 2 week or a month or so type of relationship. Maybe if they had just changed the names of Eric and Shelly I would have maybe liked it more. Huge fan of the original, trying not to be biased, but it is difficult, lol.

The movie did have a few good things about it but still was pretty bad. The main thing is that people had jobs, got experience respective fields and got paid to support themselves and their families.

Are those pesky review bombers at it again?



LOL



Welp.

@lazlodaytona, Yeah, streaming. I think I used my Cineplex points or free monthly admission. One of the two, I went and saw Cuckoo the night before, which was an interesting and crazy movie.

I think the movie lacked a lot. I originally defended it when the trailer dropped, but after seeing it last night, I can’t defend this film. It’s really bad. I don’t know how this guy can call himself a filmmaker because, my lord, this was terribly made. I have ADHD, and I feel like I watched a film made by someone who was experiencing it at its worst. Let’s start with the casting of FKA Twigs—my god, she should never be in any role ever again. How is this person an artist? She lacks emotion, and she and Bill had zero chemistry. This film lacked both chemistry and heart. The whole reason for him to come back is because of his love for this girl, but when did they fall in love? The movie was terrible at conveying that. A couple of scenes of them having sex and doing drugs doesn’t make you believe they’re fully in love. I get that they wanted to make Eric and Shelly into modern-day white privileged hoodrats, but neither actor was good at it. Also, it was a terrible choice of direction for the characters. Shelly is supposed to be pure and innocent; they’re supposed to be victims in the wrong place at the wrong time. This film doesn’t convey that at all. It’s hard to rant about how terrible it is because they supposedly had the best sources. You don’t feel any compassion or understand why Eric is brought back for her, or why he sacrifices himself for her. Also, the Crow has all these powers, but this dude only had a healing factor—that’s about it. He was just a clumsy guy who could kill people because he couldn’t die. The biggest issue with this movie was the music. They put random songs in random spots, and in areas where there should have been music, there was nothing but generic movie soundtrack filler. It felt like this movie was put together by Hallmark or something. The only somewhat okay scene, which was still a miss, was the scene in the trailer where he’s killing all the guards at the opera. And guess what? They used some random opera song that felt completely out of place. There was no gothic feel to this at all. The movie lacked so much heart. It’s like someone wrote a script and basically used CliffsNotes for the screenplay and called it a script. There has to be another hour’s worth of the movie that was cut to make it feel like a complete story, because this felt like CliffsNotes turned into a movie but missing the important parts. For this guy to tell people to get off the internet—sorry, buddy, but I think you need to get out of making movies, because holy shit, did you drop the ball big time. No wonder this took years to get done and had so many exits from it. Don’t waste your money at all. I was very open to seeing them make this movie, but holy shit, it’s awful. I’d rather watch Speed 2or Jack and Jill and call them blockbuster hits compared to this. It’s a very bad film, and I can’t see anyone liking it. Even people who never saw the original would probably say it’s terrible. Sorry for the rant but I just had to get it out this was horrible.
