At the end of the day, it's all just opinions. I'll just watch this reboot for the heck of it and be my own judge. Personally, there's a reason why it's called the ORIGINAL, so nothing will ever top that pioneer of Gothic awesomeness and musical brilliance of that time.
Seems like more of an action movie than the first with the emotional and dramatic aspect. Especially the death scenes in this don’t look like they will have the same impact. Totally understandable point here.
I'm guessing people are upset with the fact that The Eric Draven's story is being re-imagined and in their minds they consider that a NO-NO due to the fact that brandon lee did such a wonderful portrayal of the character; add to the fact that he died while making the movie and that just makes the role even more precious and iconic to the point where they feel it shouldn't be recasted with anyone, kind of like what they did with Chadwick Boseman's character BLACK PANTHER and to a degree I understand that and also to a degree I do believe certain roles played to legendary perfection shouldn't be touch if you're not going to stick to the material and get the right type of actor to play them, they had other characters from the comics that would have been awesome to adapt to the movie who have taken up the mantle of the crow that were just as compelling and complex as draven was, having said that I'm not going to make any assumptions about the film until I've seen it for myself, just going to hope for the best and that they pay some kind of respectful tribute to the original! 😉😁👍
Couldn't agree more I love the original and yes the character will always belong to Brandon Lee but you also gotta take into account the original movie did change a few things from the graphic novel. This movie is taking a different approach from the source material, until I watch the movie I'll make my judgement if it's good then it's good if it's bad then I don't have to watch the movie again
@@Illthallion It's still a remake regardless if the main creator is a part of it or not, If anything, he's probably involved to make sure that the core elements of his story are still the same In which case that will probably be the only saving grace to this film! 💯😁😉👍
If you want to know why people are not exactly pleased with this movie even existing in the first place, it's because A) Brandon Lee died while making the film and many people feel that should be sacrosanct when it comes to even thinking about making another Crow movie and B) this movie is such a severe departure from both the first film and comic that it's rather insulting to be calling this a "reboot" or "reimaging" (which by the way no one wanted). Both the original movie and film were a dark, gritty, street-level story about Eric returning from the dead to exact vengeance upon those who killed him while also going through the mental torture of coming to grips with what happened to them. The comic was about them literally being the victims of completely random acts of violence and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The film implies that maybe Top Dollar sent T-Bird and his crew after them because Shelly wrote the landlord a letter complaining about the poor condition of the apartment building, but that's really only hinted at and it's more likely they were just random victims of Devil's Night. This re-imagining is making the bad guys some big, wealthy, corpo-conglomorate-esque group who killed Eric and Shelly to try and cover up something Shelly saw. That's not the story of Eric and Shelly. They're also making Eric and Shelly junkies (or former junkies) and that's how they met. Again, this wildly deviates from both the comic and the movie, where it doesn't matter how they met, all we as the audience needed to know is they were in love and that love was taken from them with their deaths. Eric and Shelly were both also completely normal people. There was no "dark past", no being "broken" before, they were just completely normal people who had the misfortune of running afoul of a thrill kill gang. THAT is what made the story so compelling, that this could happen to anyone because it was literally just bad luck. I can and have before gone so much more into why this reboot is just every shade of wrong, but I know people will start complaining about it. The fact is, this probably would have been just fine as another Crow movie with completely new characters, which has been done with Crow films in the past, but Hollywood decided they had to use Eric and Shelly's story. Sorry, not use, completely bastardize and stomp the legacy of Brandon Lee's film and the original comic into the dirt. It's honestly to be expected at this point because no one in Hollywood can come up with anything original and they have to defile the greater works that came before them in order to try and stay relevant. The people in Hollywood are nothing but talentless hacks and thieves now and we see them.
Top Dollar did order the building to be cleared, T-Bird had the letter when they went to the apartment and when Albrecht is talkig to Annabella in the station after she gave him the case file she says "she was trying to fight tenant eviction in that neigborhood?" It was anything but random...c'mon man. Junkies or clean cut kids what does it matter. The main focus as you stated is they were in love and then their lives violently ended. The main part of that is the love they shared and how it ended. It's storytelling and each time the story is told certain details change, but as long and the love part survies what difference does it make. We review plenty of content on this channel that is adapted from great source material and it's almost never a 1 to 1 adaptation. Hollywood man. but to think that if and when a remake is done it is automatically tarnishing the legacy of what came before is not totally fair. The Crow is on constant play in my home and if anyone ever says they never saw it it gets put on immediately. I'm a fan. The first look at this film, the thought was it's trash, but now it looks to be better. It's acutally a re-imagining of the story fit into todays world and not so much a reboot. Brandon Lee will always be Eric Draven, just like Nicholson will always be Joker. That's not to say Ledger is trash or Joaquin is garbage. Bill has a shot to be his version of the Crow and it looks to be a good shot so far. Until the movie releases I must sit with eager anticipation. On this point I do agree, Hollywood needs to get back to the good drugs and create more orignal content or look for the overlooked stories out there and make a good adaptation of them just like the Crow in 1994. ....it can't rain all the time.
@@WendeezyManCave101Podcast if the remake was done in a way that was respectful to the original, such as they adhered closer to the original source comic and included things in the remake that were not done in the Brandon Lee movie, such as delving further into those scenes in the comic where Eric is alone and grappling with the loss, sadness, mourning, and madness of what happened to him, I wouldn't complain. In fact, I think Skarsgard is an excellent choice to play Eric. He has the height, the lean, sinewiness that Eric had... and then they decided to give him a high and tight haircut and tattoos out the ass in the style of Post Malone. Plus, from the trailer, I'm not even sure he dons the harlequin-style facepaint until the last half or third of the movie, which is almost criminal with a Crow film. Also, as I mentioned in my original post, turning Eric and Shelly into junkies is not "re-imagining" the characters, it is flat out destroying them. I said it before, the entire purpose of why the original stories were so compelling is that Eric and Shelly didn't have some kind of baggage like being drug addicts or having some dark past, they were two perfectly normal people in love and that's what made their deaths so tragic in the first place. What's more, another reviewer said it best when they said their deaths, while of course tragic by default because they were killed, don't look like they have anywhere near the punch that the originals did. From what we're seeing from the trailer, and yes there could be more that we're not seeing, both of them are killed via asphyxiation and... that's it? Sad, yes, but not something "so bad that the crow brings that soul back" kind of bad. In the originals, Shelly was tortured, raped, and murdered all right in front of Eric before he was killed himself. THAT is trauma and a damn good reason for the crow to bring Eric back because "something so bad" happened, and all the more reason why when he does come back he's tormented by what happened to the point he loses himself within ice-cold rage and madness. I know at this point I'm pretty much repeating what I said in my original post but I will just say again, had this just been another Crow story, with a completely original cast of characters instead of doing what looks like a horrible job of "retelling" Eric and Shelly's story, I wouldn't have any issue with it and might actually be interested in seeing it. But because Hollywood has this disturbing obsession with "reimagining" classic iconic characters for the absolute worst reasons and with the absolute worst results, the only emotion this movie is eliciting from me is anger and disgust and a powerful urge never to see it.
I was 19 in 1994 and walked out the theater knowing I had seen greatness. Brandons portrayal is a masterpiece... that being said it is the creation of James OBarrs mind and heart that gives the character life. Since OBarr and Ed Pressman had to sign off on this to make it happen and the brilliance of Skaarsgard as an actor says we should give it a chance. In 1988 I left Batman thinking Nicholson just retired the Joker...well Ledger and Phoenix were able to respectfully give new life and direction into an existing comic book character... same for Keaton and then Bale as Batman.. point is we should give it a chance to stand on its own merit against the source material not against Brandons greatness... people wanna say its a John Wick ripoff lol then youtube "The Crow Top Dollars Place"... 1994 Crow was Wick before Wick.. that sequence with gun battle, sword fighting and hand to hand can be inserted into any Wick movie...
@@kenslizle First I just want to say, just because O'Barr "signed off" on the film doesn't mean it's respectful to the originals. People gotta make money and who knows how much O'Barr was paid. There have been numerous "re-tellings" of stories in the past that the original author signed-off on that ended up being horrible. I think I mentioned it before but I do think Bill Skarsgard 100% has the acting chops to be able to pull off the character of Eric... if he's given a decent script to work with. Bear in mind here at no point am I pointing any accusatory fingers at the actor because I honestly feel like this is going to be a wasted opportunity. You reference other films like Keaton and Nicholson in Batman and Ledger and Phoenix in their respective Joker roles. The difference there is that with all of them, people were concerned/criticized the choice of actor for the role (prior to them seeing the film), not the characterizations themselves. Batam still looked and acted like Batman, albeit a black suit instead of a dark blue, and his history remained, and Joker still looked like and acted like Joker, with a bit more for Phoenix because it was an origin story. With The Crow, they are completely changing the story and the characters simply because they are trying to force a "modern audience" narrative onto the audience because that's all Hollywood knows how to do now. As far as the gunfight at Top Dollar's in the movie, it was a more Hollywoodized version of it but that gunfight happened in the comic as well. The rest of Eric's kills, both in the film and the comic, were very one-on-one personal events and didn't have big action set pieces like what they're showing us in the trailer. While the 94 film certainly didn't follow the comic beat for beat, it still adhered to the pacing and style of the original comic in a way that even fans of the comic loved it. As I said in my original post, if whomever was behind the scenes on this film had chosen to make this just another story in the Crow universe, with original characters, it would be a much different story and likely received much more positively. It's the fact that Hollywood is basically shitting all over the characters of Eric and Shelly by "modernizing" them and the story, just like Hollywood has been doing with legacy franchises and properties for the last 10 years or so.
@@emberparadox458 well Im not trying to sway you to see it. I personally have the 94 Crow as my greatest movie of all time but Im not gonna demonise this retelling without seeing it....I watched City of Angels, Salvation and Wicked Prayer the abominations those were but gave each a chance. I admit I was triggerd in this trailer the moment he walked in and said "shelley"... I know how your feeling and respect it. It shows your passion and reverance for Brandons body of work. To me the most important thing is regardless of how this movie does it has created a dialogue and so many people will revisit or watch 1994 Crow for the first time and that makes my heart scream yessssssssss!!!!
Brandon Lee is turning in his grave, this trailer did not do it for me. This is worth checking out only for Bill Skarsgard, but I feel like they are wasting him here. I will give it a try but man... I think it's going to flop big time. I don't sense a good score with this movie, this will be destroyed by the fans but some critics might go easy on this and give it a decently fair rating even tho deep down in they heart they know this sucks. the original The Crow is where it's at, if you have not seen it please do yourself a huge favor and go check it out! It's one of the best comic book films of all time!
Honestly I'm very very very impressed with what they've put together it seems like Rupert Sanders really knows what he's doing, when talking about the creative process of the film he said " what happened to Brandon Lee such a tragedy and his presence was very much felt on set, we aren't trying to deminish or tarnish his memory or his legacy in anyway we hope he's proud of what we've done". When I heard the movie was no longer going to be an adaptation of the graphic novel and instead were going to do their own thing I was very worried and very skeptical, but Rupert Sanders KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK with this trailer he might as well be saying no no no we know what we're doing😂 we're gonna do right by you, usually I'm totally against modernizing classics because they usually end up hiring people who couldn't give a shit about the source material or the fans. Usually they end up going with something that they just pulled out of their asses and they very easily could have done that with this but they didn't, it seems like they are genuinely trying to modernize the story while still staying true to the general feel and tone of the original story you even have some call backs to the original movie in there. I'm blown away completely! THIS IS how you modernize a beloved story
Man i don't know ehy everyone is like hating Bill Skarsgard he is an amazing actor. And yes there is always a og version of everything. No one can beat what Brandon Lee (R.I.P) did .. but still if he was alive today i bet he would have been so happy.. and let Bill do his thing. He is looking fantastic. And as for this after Bill probably 10 r 20 years later there will be another remake and a new actor will do that .. remember that these are all based on comics so the comics will stay forever but the actors won't. So we have to let new people come and do their things . Personally i am so happy for him and hyped for this .
I don't think people hate Bill but the way they made him look here. The Crow is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I'm definitely not one of those people who think that the movie shouldn't be remade or whatever because of Lee's tragic death. Bill is a fantastic actor and looks gorgeous, so I would be very excided about this movie (it would be better if it was a diferent Crow not Draven but nevermind) if they didn't make it look so awful. The whole thing looks very soulless and plain, like an ordinary action movie + the make up. The Crow is not about that. And Bill with this horrible tattoes and hair... Why did they do that? He could have been a wonderful Crow with his looks and acting skills. It's such a shame. Maybe the movie will be way better then the trailer and surprise us all.
I have been a fan of The Crow since the graphic novel... I'll admit, I have some very deep reservations... but I will give the film a chance... I'm reminded of a quote from the story where Eric in a state of despair and rage calls out God... "How could you do that? How could you create something so beautiful and then let something like that happen to her? How could you do that to her, you bastard?!" The Crow comes from a place of unfathomable pain and rage and loss and love... This film NEEDS to capture the essence of that or it will fail and fail horribly.
With all due respect to Brain Austin green who rapped with the tribe called quest. That role was written for Brandon Lee. And he died making it perfect. You can't replace him.
No what we need is something more true to the comics! We need gothic, twisted and tragic/with gore and action. This looks like island boy meets John wick.
I'm just gonna take it as the creator of the comic said.. it's a re adaptation, like the many Dracula movies we have, which all use the same source material, but different films. Re adaptation not remake. And it looks like it will be good.
@@TAY_UPNEXTNah. Eyes wide open to actual good effects and visuals. These are gutter trash. Dime a dozen. You can pull this shit off with most home computers
Can't tell if you mean the bird or the character. 1:42 there's a crow and other for the next few seconds. Or if you mean the crow on his shoulder like in the OG. Also it's ok if you like the original, that's a cult classic movie. But maybe this one deserves a watch to see if it's not bad or another trash reimagining...
In a complete bubble this movie looks fantastic. The issue is that everyone will compare it to how this original Crow made them feel. Brandon Lee really left his mark on a lot of people. Don’t see to many actors doing that nowadays.
I hope everyone who watches this movie enjoys it. It is not something that I want to see. Every movie does not have to be remade or reimagined in my opinion. I wish they could come up with more original ideas. Like I said I am not bashing the movie and hope people enjoy it. It's just not for me.
The original was more like "DON´T TAKE DRUGS" and be more Gothic. This is pop Music mixed with junkies. Total opposite. i hate it. But bill is a good actor but the script is bad.
First of all, Ghost Malone Secondly, I'm sorry but I just don't like this trailer. It looks like a generic action movie but with a bit more graphic violence. It has the setpiece finale, the John Wick action, the blue color scheme with overly saturated color timing to hide lack of production value, the cringey generic lines... It's not good. I just feel like this is all crap I've seen already. "I feel like you're my person." That's original. And sorry but "I thought you were quite brilliantly broken" is some cringe edgelord crap an angsty teenager would say. "What did you like about me?" "I thought you were an F'ing mess." Oh. Well. That's charming. I would break up with someone if I got that line. Like that is not a compliment AT ALL. I'm just not expecting much here
Ghost Malone is a BAR 😂🤣 Agreed they definitely modernized the action scenes to be more like newer action movies. But as a channel that like things like John Wick, Sisu stuff like that I mean it’s cool here. However, understanding people’s love for the original Crow movie from a purists standpoint we can get the hate/debate about this for sure. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion on it. Yours is very valid this seems more emo for sure.
Call it something else. I think it is disrespectful to Brandon Lee. I can see a punisher movie. But this like trying to remake Enter the Dragon . Bro that isn't his role
That death scene was weak compared to what happened in the 94' version...stop it! He got shot in the chest and thrown out a 6 story window and Shelly got graped by four dudes and cut up.
couldnt agree more ....well said people just hyping the hate train at this point as a life long fan of the books i am just hyped that we are getting another movie in this world ill take what i can get
No one expects that he is going to be Brandon Lee. People are sick of pointless remakes that try and over modernize everything which is why majority of them fall flat on their faces. They don't know who their audience is and they don't know that it wasn't just Lee that made the 90's movie raise the bar in comic adaptations. Look at all the Jokers, everyone makes comparisons no matter how good the actor is. Jared Leto's version got tons of heat because it was bad even if we let him do "his own thing." Are you going on all recent movie reboot recasting videos and telling people to stop comparing just because you don't like their opinions on it? Seems to be right now, if a majority dislike something, the other side immediately retreats to everyone bandwagoning even if they give valid points of criticism. Once they named this character Eric Draven, they opened the floodgates on themselves. We'll see how it does, expect the same as every other soulless reboot that gets regurgitated.
No. this movie is spitting on Brandon Lee's legacy and grave. They should leave this franchise alone and everyone who praises this piece of shit, is doing exactly the same thing: SPITTING on his memory, his grave and legacy.
A lot of people don't know this but the reason the crow was made is because of the festivals in Washington & los angeles & new york use to have and how much corruption in the police force and underworld of criminal activity really was and still kinda is today. Right now, i am already writing reboot 2nd script. My idea-- main character is a musician who retires to find his missing cousin which the trail leads back to his manager who has him killed on the train tracks so the manager could still use his cousin to amp up the band members hes childhood friends with. My goal is to open The Crow(s) to the marvel universe.
Its just disrespectful to brandon who involuntarily gave his life for the original film. They could have used another character. Others have been the avatar to the crow. Using the eric draven one belongs to brandon
I think James OBarr the creator and writer of the novels & comics who was a consultant on the movie makes it ok. Love and Respect to Brandon for making a masterpiece and being the measuring stick but Eric Draven comes from the mind and heart of James OBarr. Nicholson in 88 was the goat Joker...but Heath and Phoenix proved it is possible to not dissrespect and make your own masterpiece. RIP Lee & Ledger
1. They didnt have to call it the crow. 2. I personally am sick and tired of these remakes. Its just lazy to me and a cash grab. 3. It seems soulless. 4. He look like the joker. 5. Im just not impressed. Im down to see what happens n watch it but only whens its free lol
It’s certainly a unique take on the crow. Not sure if it’s the right methodology for a crow film. Bill is a good actor. He will make it passable. Some things don’t need to be changed or modernized.
Dude this movie is just big BOOMMMMMMMMMMssssssssssss----- the original Crow was dark and beautiful with the music; the Crows make-up everything about the original stands the test of time. They should of made this the new Crow period
From what I can gather from these guys and the comments and other people who are reacting to the trailer it kinda sounds like no one knows about the comics but don’t get me wrong it can go up or go down but everyone should know that the first Crow movie and this one are staying lore accurate to the comics
This is one of the members of the Podcast, I personally have not read the Comics or seen the original Brandon Lee movie...I plan on doing a first time watch so I can know what all the fuss is about with this reimagining... But for sure the first one from what everyone says is very comic accurate...which is dope. This can just be it's own thing though...maybe they shouldn't have called it the crow lol
@hakeemjohnson3185 Eric and Shelly meeting in rehab? The villain having supernatural powers? There's lots more but those are all confirmed. I'm not even hating on the remake yet but it only takes one read through the comic to know this movie isn't following that storyline.
Im going to give this a shot. I don't think the studio tried to remake the original film but do an adaptation for today's edgy teens. Good be bad, could be good but I'll see it.
The thing is people are expecting 80s grunge crow and that’s just not the case with this one it’s more modern and focused a little on the action side at first I wasn’t insanely happy about the new look but after seeing it in action it’s helped me like it a little more I love the shot of him walking up the stairs getting shot that literally is the crow and I thought that was badass so it’s not really out of character cause in the comic he had a sword too and yea Brandon probably wasn’t in as much gun fights but since we have better tech that can give us better gun fights and blood and gore so I’m definitely gonna watch it cause I have seen the other crow sequels.
You need to read the source material bro, The original is my number one film of all time but I LOVE the graphic novel and this is closer to that so. sorry bro your wrong but then again its subjective
The representation of Eric IS closer, more unhinged, insane, all that's missing is the heroin addiction, don't misunderstand me its never going to top the original, its its own thing and people need to realize that ffs instead of all this clueless gatekeeping BS. O'Barr signed of on this and had input so I'm sorry the creators opinion is final as far as i am concerned@@polly6896
If get a second please consider checking out our recent teaser trailer for our upcoming CROW fan film! Our last fan film just hit 4.5 MILLION views on TH-cam! - We are doing our very best to make this one great! If you time for a trailer reaction that would mean so much! Thank you for your time! LINK-- th-cam.com/video/EPZJFGJkbH4/w-d-xo.html
I respect everyones opinions, after all, creativity and art are subjective, but this, to me, is just a tweaker ripping out copper wiring from a trailer home in Florida take on the crow. Should have called it something else and left a cheap generic revenge fantasy.
it seems that they may have met in rehab, so they are bonded to begin with. To go through that together and then to start building their lives back together, then die so violently right in front of each other is heartbreaking. So even in death, their bond ain't gonna be broken, so of course he came back. yeah that guy is Danny Huston. He's an excellent villian. He also played the ghose serial killer in the Coven season of American Horror Story.
Im going to support it! Bills an amazing actor! This is not based on the 1994 movie but the O.G. comic/ graphic novel. Writers have already said it's a different adaption to the comic book antihero. Hiw many spidermans, Supermans, batmans do we get all the time. They literally said it wouldn't be based off the 94 movie. Look up the original comic book of the crow. Look at how his makeup is done compared to the 1994 film.
True love for this movie along with Brandon Lee is forever 🌹 The pointless remake that will get the same treatment as the sequels and tv show is not forever 🪦
The fight scenes aren't as good as what Brandon Lee died for. Brandon didn't want The Crow to be a fight movie. I actually like city of angels But don't call your name Eric Draven.
I'm guessing people are upset with the fact that The Eric Draven's story is being re-imagined and in their minds they consider that a NO-NO due to the fact that brandon lee did such a wonderful portrayal of the character; add to the fact that he died while making the movie and that just makes the role even more precious and iconic to the point where they feel it shouldn't be recasted with anyone, kind of like what they did with Chadwick Boseman's character BLACK PANTHER and to a degree I understand that and also to a degree I do believe certain roles played to legendary perfection shouldn't be touch if you're not going to stick to the material and get the right type of actor to play them, they had other characters from the comics that would have been awesome to adapt to the movie who have taken up the mantle of the crow that were just as compelling and complex as draven was, having said that I'm not going to make any assumptions about the film until I've seen it for myself, just going to hope for the best and that they pay some kind of respectful tribute to the original! 😉😁👍
HEY PEOPLE ... IF YOU DONT LIKE THE CROW COMPARISON.. THEN THEY SHOULD'VE CALLED IT THE DARK AVENGER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.. YOU WANNA ALIGN WITH A LEGEND.. YOU'RE GONNA GET COMPARED TO SEE IF YOU LIVE UP TO THE HYPPPPEEE!! 😊😊😊😊
@@Nba4ktbaby Graphic novel was super popular and 1st film turned into instant cult classic in the public mind. Soundtrack was also extremely popular but, "it was trash". Lol, yeah o.k... 😂😂😂
It’s LOOKS TRASH PERIOD!!!! It doesn’t look good from the cinematography to the color grading choices to everything else 🤦🏽♂️ compared to the original film and the fact that this is a retelling of the original and comic book it doesn’t look like it fits the vision of either. Worst this IP was built by Goth kids who they look like they have alienated in this version compared to the original.
But it is a "reimagining" not a "remake"...Totally appreciate and get your point on it not being the original, but maybe it doesn't have to be. It is a 2024 version. Personally (Aaron) I haven't read the comics or watched the OG...I will be doing a "first time watching" for the channel in the near future so I can better understand people being up in arms about the remake...These other guys have and love the OG
Fans and co-stars of Brandon Lee are outraged by this reboot! Disrespectful to his legacy. Fans have boycott this reboot. Brandon Lee deserves a better reboot similar to his work
@@NecramoniumVideo Agreed. I was replying to the guy who said it’s based on a different comic. It’s not. It just goes farther from the original story than the ‘94 version.
The trailer seemed off to me and not just because of it being a remake! It's mostly because of Hollywierd's modern take on old movies and how they change them! They are not changing them for the better as some may have you believe and do to the fact that they are not going to turn into classics unlike the originals... For example: Total Recall (2012) Robcop (2014) Ghostbusters (2016)... just to name a few!!! People don't hate actors. We understand they're just working and gotta pay bills! It's the Studios making these dumb decisions.🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@unicorndelicious 🤣🤣🤣.... Always laugh when people think you can't tell something is going to be trash by watching a trailer (That's what their for)... I saw the trailer for all those examples I gave, and you can tell, but there's a stupid person born every min...🤷🏾♂️... I like Good Remakes and I would wager Most people do as well!!!
Trailers are supposed to entice you to come see the movie. Nothing about this trailer makes me want to see it. Absolutely nothing. Will watch the original again instead. Thanks.
The problem i ee with people is they expect to see everything like the original and for it so have a same feeling, this movie isnt trying to copy the Brandon Lee one its ispired and folowing the comics with scenes and inspiration from the original movie,ž. In my opinion Bill Skarsgard did an amazing job, the villan was a bit boring nothing rly that impresive in the end, as a young person that didnt see the original when it came out but still know it i can say this movie dosnt dissrespect the original in any way its a reteling a different view on the story. and if you ask me its good also in the fact the new younger audience will be able to see the original and learn about it because they where met with the new one
This is HORRIBLE!!!!! I tried to not watch the trailer and even though I feel Bill would pull it off much better than the other suggestions for the remake I have seen through out the years. I absolutely DO NOT like the look of the new look. The appearance alone has ruined it. But they will make money on it because people will want to reluctantly see it to compare it and by then, the film makers will be happy with its attendance. But I won't see it till its on a streaming channel or where I don't have to pay to see it outright. The trailer is extremely disappointing. It hurts my heart. This is nothing more than a vigilante movie who has supernatural powers. There is too much color. The Gotham City appearance and shadow work like with the original is not there. Even the Crow 2 had better cinema elements for viewing pleasure than this new thing. I really like Bill but this has been ruined. The original had a hard anti-drugs message. The new one casts Eric & Shelly as junkies who escape rehab, go on a drug bringe & are eventually murdered. That tells you everything you need to know about what's wrong with the new film. For this remake to turn Eric 180-degrees on that mark is tantamount to blasphemy.
This lacks the soul of the original. I'm not one of these purists who say "never remake that," because it can be done. FF7 was my favorite game and story, and the remake has been really excellent. The Crow (1994) is my favorite film of all time, yet it could be successfully redone. But not like this. This is the vision of somebody who did not understand the original, someone who looked at it and said "wouldn't it be great if a movie was thematically this, but substantively a cross between John Wick and Mortal Kombat, starring Channing Tatum or a near clone?" Nope, that wouldn't be great. You didn't get the original. Develop a deep sense of empathy and then re-watch 1994, before trying to reboot, remake, or re-imagine it, people. There's no contrast shown in this reboot. There's not the innocence of a child in Sarah, against this menacing, dark city. There's not the humanity of Eric and Officer Albrecht against both the inhumanity of what's left of Eric, what he is now, what he must do, as well as of the evil people he has to pursue. There's not Eric's melancholy along with his anger. There's no artfulness to him. There's no quiet to accompany his wailing. Based on the trailer, this doesn't appear to tap into the same emotional space the original did. It wasn't just a hot couple pissed off because their time was cut short and they were too sexy to die. Just saying "love" a bunch of times against a backdrop of a gory action flick with no art or irony doesn't reach the high bar set by "The Crow." The makeup. This isn't a random face decoration, I mean the thespian masks of comedy and tragedy were hanging from the mirror, Eric painted his face deliberately as an actor (double entendre) who would be delivering some irony (the undead monster is the righteous hero, the humans are the evil villains; he brings fear to the frightening; brings to each their own vice, and murders the murderers). So the makeup isn't just a superficial thing, where like hey, this is a cool drippy eyes thing, it's not just a franchise symbol, it actually signified something, and this new one only vanishingly represents it a teeny bit. It's barely there anymore. The face paint would have been the easiest way to get a real chill into the audience, if it had been on point. But no, they missed the lay-up (and mostly everything else, from the look of it). Elaborating on a prior point here, but in the 1994 film, Eric and the Crow's violence isn't random at all. The knife guy is killed with his knives, funboy is killed with his playthings, the pyromaniac is killed with his fire, the speed freak dies at terminal velocity while falling from a building, the woman who steals eyes and wants the crows power has her eyes taken by the crow (before falling to her death) and the mastermind of all that pain dies from feeling all the protracted pain he had caused all at once (plus, some extra impaling because why not). Why does it matter? Because in 1994's "The Crow" the violence is just an extra dimension of the turmoil, it's secondary to the emotions. He finds each of them in their own domain, and shoves their vice right down their throat, so they can suffer from it just as everyone else has. In this trailer, the emotions are secondary to the violence, which is the main thing. They needed to pay more attention to the subtleties, the details. "Believe me. Nothing is trivial."
I really dont understand the problem. If you like the reboot, it doesn't mean the original suddenly vanishes. You can like both. And since it looks like this one is different in the way it plays out the story then they're not even competing. So don't compare. This one looks pretty good to me. (I don't like the hair either)
I think you are phenomenal. But this isn't Eric Draven. just call it something else. This isn't a lifetime movie. This is The Crow starring Brandon Lee.
@@toddjohnson5176 Believe me I'm no fan of Hollywood but I do understand why they wanted to use Erik Draven instead of Michael Korey. They're trying every hook they got to get butts in seats and brand recognition is a big one. However now they create comparison and while Bill is amazing, its really not the same character. Anyway, I will like it or hate it on its on merit.
Almost subbed... then y'all started praising the Pigeon. Not true to the comic, movie, show or spirit of the indigenous lore. Waste of money, time & effort This movie will tank hard. R.I.P. Brandon, sorry you're getting disrespected like this.
I don’t exactly hate it, but I think it looks bland and generic, and the dialogue is *really* bad. It also has all the atmosphere and emotional impact of white bread.
I personally don't give a damn how good of an actor Bill Skarsgard is and has been...some people aren't right for certain characters plain and simple. Bill is to tall for one, Brandon was 6 ft and lean which helped with stealth for the character. Bill looks like Machine Gun Kelly and sounds like Pennywise in this 😅😂
Ill be honest huge fan of the original but unlike others who are being negative im positive this will still be a hit too all the negative ppl learn to be open minded honestly its not hard lol
I went into the trailer with an open mind. But, the lack of atmosphere and terrible dialogue did me in. This looks bad. Sure, there’s some decent action, but action scenes are a dime a dozen.
There has NEVER been a movie reboot that has pissed me off as much as this one does. The original was THE goth, underground, grunge anthem it is KNOWN to be that. This just f-ing pissed all over that entire community and made it a rap new age bullsh*t!
I don’t mind them doing a new adaptation of the original graphic novel, but this looks really generic. It also has some of the worst dialogue, and delivery of said dialogue, I’ve ever heard. Oh, and it bugs me that he’s so buff. That’s typical superhero stuff, and it doesn’t say revenant.
I think one thing a lot of people are missing is the Brandon Lee Crow movie was an excruciatingly 90s American movie and this is so British/European in its execution giving it a much different flavor. But in the end, it’s a revenge movie either way.
When I see this trailer after I’ve watched it about 12 times I think the part I’m most intrigued about is the inevitable murder scene with the two of them. I feel this take on the Crow gives more of an in depth back story of them both before you know…. I feel that murder scene must be something extra disturbing
At the end of the day, it's all just opinions. I'll just watch this reboot for the heck of it and be my own judge. Personally, there's a reason why it's called the ORIGINAL, so nothing will ever top that pioneer of Gothic awesomeness and musical brilliance of that time.
The original crow made you feel the emotions Eric Draven was feeling...I doubt this new reboot can give people that same feeling.
Seems like more of an action movie than the first with the emotional and dramatic aspect. Especially the death scenes in this don’t look like they will have the same impact. Totally understandable point here.
These days, reboots barely ever DO
I'm guessing people are upset with the fact that The Eric Draven's story is being re-imagined and in their minds they consider that a NO-NO due to the fact that brandon lee did such a wonderful portrayal of the character; add to the fact that he died while making the movie and that just makes the role even more precious and iconic to the point where they feel it shouldn't be recasted with anyone, kind of like what they did with Chadwick Boseman's character BLACK PANTHER and to a degree I understand that and also to a degree I do believe certain roles played to legendary perfection shouldn't be touch if you're not going to stick to the material and get the right type of actor to play them, they had other characters from the comics that would have been awesome to adapt to the movie who have taken up the mantle of the crow that were just as compelling and complex as draven was, having said that I'm not going to make any assumptions about the film until I've seen it for myself, just going to hope for the best and that they pay some kind of respectful tribute to the original! 😉😁👍
👏🏿
It looks like garbage, plain and simple.
Couldn't agree more I love the original and yes the character will always belong to Brandon Lee but you also gotta take into account the original movie did change a few things from the graphic novel. This movie is taking a different approach from the source material, until I watch the movie I'll make my judgement if it's good then it's good if it's bad then I don't have to watch the movie again
James O'Barr was involved in this story - THE James O'Barr. This is not a remake.
@@Illthallion It's still a remake regardless if the main creator is a part of it or not, If anything, he's probably involved to make sure that the core elements of his story are still the same In which case that will probably be the only saving grace to this film! 💯😁😉👍
The one thing I hope they do not change is that he defeats the final boss using Shelley's pain.He doesn't actually defeat them she does
If you want to know why people are not exactly pleased with this movie even existing in the first place, it's because A) Brandon Lee died while making the film and many people feel that should be sacrosanct when it comes to even thinking about making another Crow movie and B) this movie is such a severe departure from both the first film and comic that it's rather insulting to be calling this a "reboot" or "reimaging" (which by the way no one wanted). Both the original movie and film were a dark, gritty, street-level story about Eric returning from the dead to exact vengeance upon those who killed him while also going through the mental torture of coming to grips with what happened to them. The comic was about them literally being the victims of completely random acts of violence and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The film implies that maybe Top Dollar sent T-Bird and his crew after them because Shelly wrote the landlord a letter complaining about the poor condition of the apartment building, but that's really only hinted at and it's more likely they were just random victims of Devil's Night.
This re-imagining is making the bad guys some big, wealthy, corpo-conglomorate-esque group who killed Eric and Shelly to try and cover up something Shelly saw. That's not the story of Eric and Shelly. They're also making Eric and Shelly junkies (or former junkies) and that's how they met. Again, this wildly deviates from both the comic and the movie, where it doesn't matter how they met, all we as the audience needed to know is they were in love and that love was taken from them with their deaths. Eric and Shelly were both also completely normal people. There was no "dark past", no being "broken" before, they were just completely normal people who had the misfortune of running afoul of a thrill kill gang. THAT is what made the story so compelling, that this could happen to anyone because it was literally just bad luck.
I can and have before gone so much more into why this reboot is just every shade of wrong, but I know people will start complaining about it. The fact is, this probably would have been just fine as another Crow movie with completely new characters, which has been done with Crow films in the past, but Hollywood decided they had to use Eric and Shelly's story. Sorry, not use, completely bastardize and stomp the legacy of Brandon Lee's film and the original comic into the dirt. It's honestly to be expected at this point because no one in Hollywood can come up with anything original and they have to defile the greater works that came before them in order to try and stay relevant.
The people in Hollywood are nothing but talentless hacks and thieves now and we see them.
Top Dollar did order the building to be cleared, T-Bird had the letter when they went to the apartment and when Albrecht is talkig to Annabella in the station after she gave him the case file she says "she was trying to fight tenant eviction in that neigborhood?" It was anything but random...c'mon man.
Junkies or clean cut kids what does it matter. The main focus as you stated is they were in love and then their lives violently ended. The main part of that is the love they shared and how it ended. It's storytelling and each time the story is told certain details change, but as long and the love part survies what difference does it make. We review plenty of content on this channel that is adapted from great source material and it's almost never a 1 to 1 adaptation. Hollywood man.
but to think that if and when a remake is done it is automatically tarnishing the legacy of what came before is not totally fair. The Crow is on constant play in my home and if anyone ever says they never saw it it gets put on immediately. I'm a fan. The first look at this film, the thought was it's trash, but now it looks to be better. It's acutally a re-imagining of the story fit into todays world and not so much a reboot.
Brandon Lee will always be Eric Draven, just like Nicholson will always be Joker. That's not to say Ledger is trash or Joaquin is garbage. Bill has a shot to be his version of the Crow and it looks to be a good shot so far. Until the movie releases I must sit with eager anticipation.
On this point I do agree, Hollywood needs to get back to the good drugs and create more orignal content or look for the overlooked stories out there and make a good adaptation of them just like the Crow in 1994.
....it can't rain all the time.
@@WendeezyManCave101Podcast if the remake was done in a way that was respectful to the original, such as they adhered closer to the original source comic and included things in the remake that were not done in the Brandon Lee movie, such as delving further into those scenes in the comic where Eric is alone and grappling with the loss, sadness, mourning, and madness of what happened to him, I wouldn't complain.
In fact, I think Skarsgard is an excellent choice to play Eric. He has the height, the lean, sinewiness that Eric had... and then they decided to give him a high and tight haircut and tattoos out the ass in the style of Post Malone. Plus, from the trailer, I'm not even sure he dons the harlequin-style facepaint until the last half or third of the movie, which is almost criminal with a Crow film. Also, as I mentioned in my original post, turning Eric and Shelly into junkies is not "re-imagining" the characters, it is flat out destroying them.
I said it before, the entire purpose of why the original stories were so compelling is that Eric and Shelly didn't have some kind of baggage like being drug addicts or having some dark past, they were two perfectly normal people in love and that's what made their deaths so tragic in the first place. What's more, another reviewer said it best when they said their deaths, while of course tragic by default because they were killed, don't look like they have anywhere near the punch that the originals did. From what we're seeing from the trailer, and yes there could be more that we're not seeing, both of them are killed via asphyxiation and... that's it? Sad, yes, but not something "so bad that the crow brings that soul back" kind of bad. In the originals, Shelly was tortured, raped, and murdered all right in front of Eric before he was killed himself. THAT is trauma and a damn good reason for the crow to bring Eric back because "something so bad" happened, and all the more reason why when he does come back he's tormented by what happened to the point he loses himself within ice-cold rage and madness.
I know at this point I'm pretty much repeating what I said in my original post but I will just say again, had this just been another Crow story, with a completely original cast of characters instead of doing what looks like a horrible job of "retelling" Eric and Shelly's story, I wouldn't have any issue with it and might actually be interested in seeing it. But because Hollywood has this disturbing obsession with "reimagining" classic iconic characters for the absolute worst reasons and with the absolute worst results, the only emotion this movie is eliciting from me is anger and disgust and a powerful urge never to see it.
I was 19 in 1994 and walked out the theater knowing I had seen greatness. Brandons portrayal is a masterpiece... that being said it is the creation of James OBarrs mind and heart that gives the character life. Since OBarr and Ed Pressman had to sign off on this to make it happen and the brilliance of Skaarsgard as an actor says we should give it a chance. In 1988 I left Batman thinking Nicholson just retired the Joker...well Ledger and Phoenix were able to respectfully give new life and direction into an existing comic book character... same for Keaton and then Bale as Batman.. point is we should give it a chance to stand on its own merit against the source material not against Brandons greatness... people wanna say its a John Wick ripoff lol then youtube "The Crow Top Dollars Place"... 1994 Crow was Wick before Wick.. that sequence with gun battle, sword fighting and hand to hand can be inserted into any Wick movie...
@@kenslizle First I just want to say, just because O'Barr "signed off" on the film doesn't mean it's respectful to the originals. People gotta make money and who knows how much O'Barr was paid. There have been numerous "re-tellings" of stories in the past that the original author signed-off on that ended up being horrible.
I think I mentioned it before but I do think Bill Skarsgard 100% has the acting chops to be able to pull off the character of Eric... if he's given a decent script to work with. Bear in mind here at no point am I pointing any accusatory fingers at the actor because I honestly feel like this is going to be a wasted opportunity. You reference other films like Keaton and Nicholson in Batman and Ledger and Phoenix in their respective Joker roles. The difference there is that with all of them, people were concerned/criticized the choice of actor for the role (prior to them seeing the film), not the characterizations themselves. Batam still looked and acted like Batman, albeit a black suit instead of a dark blue, and his history remained, and Joker still looked like and acted like Joker, with a bit more for Phoenix because it was an origin story. With The Crow, they are completely changing the story and the characters simply because they are trying to force a "modern audience" narrative onto the audience because that's all Hollywood knows how to do now.
As far as the gunfight at Top Dollar's in the movie, it was a more Hollywoodized version of it but that gunfight happened in the comic as well. The rest of Eric's kills, both in the film and the comic, were very one-on-one personal events and didn't have big action set pieces like what they're showing us in the trailer. While the 94 film certainly didn't follow the comic beat for beat, it still adhered to the pacing and style of the original comic in a way that even fans of the comic loved it.
As I said in my original post, if whomever was behind the scenes on this film had chosen to make this just another story in the Crow universe, with original characters, it would be a much different story and likely received much more positively. It's the fact that Hollywood is basically shitting all over the characters of Eric and Shelly by "modernizing" them and the story, just like Hollywood has been doing with legacy franchises and properties for the last 10 years or so.
@@emberparadox458 well Im not trying to sway you to see it. I personally have the 94 Crow as my greatest movie of all time but Im not gonna demonise this retelling without seeing it....I watched City of Angels, Salvation and Wicked Prayer the abominations those were but gave each a chance. I admit I was triggerd in this trailer the moment he walked in and said "shelley"... I know how your feeling and respect it. It shows your passion and reverance for Brandons body of work. To me the most important thing is regardless of how this movie does it has created a dialogue and so many people will revisit or watch 1994 Crow for the first time and that makes my heart scream yessssssssss!!!!
I like this. But I can already tell I like the original better
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! This is it's own reimagining...why can't it just be that? It doesn't have to be the Original
@@ManCave101Podcast but not everything needs a ''remake'' or ''reimagining'' especially when all of them fail. this gives netflixe's death notes vibes
It can never be THE CROW.
Brandon Lee is turning in his grave, this trailer did not do it for me. This is worth checking out only for Bill Skarsgard, but I feel like they are wasting him here. I will give it a try but man... I think it's going to flop big time. I don't sense a good score with this movie, this will be destroyed by the fans but some critics might go easy on this and give it a decently fair rating even tho deep down in they heart they know this sucks. the original The Crow is where it's at, if you have not seen it please do yourself a huge favor and go check it out! It's one of the best comic book films of all time!
Honestly I'm very very very impressed with what they've put together it seems like Rupert Sanders really knows what he's doing, when talking about the creative process of the film he said " what happened to Brandon Lee such a tragedy and his presence was very much felt on set, we aren't trying to deminish or tarnish his memory or his legacy in anyway we hope he's proud of what we've done". When I heard the movie was no longer going to be an adaptation of the graphic novel and instead were going to do their own thing I was very worried and very skeptical, but Rupert Sanders KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK with this trailer he might as well be saying no no no we know what we're doing😂 we're gonna do right by you, usually I'm totally against modernizing classics because they usually end up hiring people who couldn't give a shit about the source material or the fans. Usually they end up going with something that they just pulled out of their asses and they very easily could have done that with this but they didn't, it seems like they are genuinely trying to modernize the story while still staying true to the general feel and tone of the original story you even have some call backs to the original movie in there. I'm blown away completely! THIS IS how you modernize a beloved story
Man i don't know ehy everyone is like hating Bill Skarsgard he is an amazing actor. And yes there is always a og version of everything. No one can beat what Brandon Lee (R.I.P) did .. but still if he was alive today i bet he would have been so happy.. and let Bill do his thing. He is looking fantastic. And as for this after Bill probably 10 r 20 years later there will be another remake and a new actor will do that .. remember that these are all based on comics so the comics will stay forever but the actors won't. So we have to let new people come and do their things . Personally i am so happy for him and hyped for this .
I don't think people hate Bill but the way they made him look here. The Crow is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I'm definitely not one of those people who think that the movie shouldn't be remade or whatever because of Lee's tragic death. Bill is a fantastic actor and looks gorgeous, so I would be very excided about this movie (it would be better if it was a diferent Crow not Draven but nevermind) if they didn't make it look so awful. The whole thing looks very soulless and plain, like an ordinary action movie + the make up. The Crow is not about that. And Bill with this horrible tattoes and hair... Why did they do that? He could have been a wonderful Crow with his looks and acting skills. It's such a shame. Maybe the movie will be way better then the trailer and surprise us all.
I have been a fan of The Crow since the graphic novel... I'll admit, I have some very deep reservations... but I will give the film a chance...
I'm reminded of a quote from the story where Eric in a state of despair and rage calls out God...
"How could you do that? How could you create something so beautiful and then let something like that happen to her? How could you do that to her, you bastard?!"
The Crow comes from a place of unfathomable pain and rage and loss and love...
This film NEEDS to capture the essence of that or it will fail and fail horribly.
With all due respect to Brain Austin green who rapped with the tribe called quest. That role was written for Brandon Lee. And he died making it perfect. You can't replace him.
No what we need is something more true to the comics! We need gothic, twisted and tragic/with gore and action. This looks like island boy meets John wick.
I don't need a copy of the original, it's unique. But this new version caught my attention. . .
I'm just gonna take it as the creator of the comic said.. it's a re adaptation, like the many Dracula movies we have, which all use the same source material, but different films. Re adaptation not remake. And it looks like it will be good.
This is moore like a Netflix Movie , CGI Gore , CGI Crows ,lol 😂

That, or Chat GPT.
In a complete bubble this movie looks fantastic. The issue is that everyone will compare it to how this original Crow made them feel. Brandon Lee really left his mark on a lot of people. Don’t see to many actors doing that nowadays.
I don’t think it looks fantastic. I think it looks generic. And, it *sounds* awful. Who wrote the dialogue? Chat GPT?
I hope everyone who watches this movie enjoys it. It is not something that I want to see. Every movie does not have to be remade or reimagined in my opinion. I wish they could come up with more original ideas. Like I said I am not bashing the movie and hope people enjoy it. It's just not for me.
It’s supposed to be a reimagined from the comics still it’s going to takes it’s liberties on being different from the comics
You can always replace the Batman. But THe CROW is BRANDON LEE.
Straight to dvd or Sci fi channel look
The original was more like "DON´T TAKE DRUGS" and be more Gothic. This is pop Music mixed with junkies. Total opposite. i hate it. But bill is a good actor but the script is bad.
That's fair! Bill is a good actor for sure had to give him props in the reaction.
First of all, Ghost Malone
Secondly, I'm sorry but I just don't like this trailer. It looks like a generic action movie but with a bit more graphic violence. It has the setpiece finale, the John Wick action, the blue color scheme with overly saturated color timing to hide lack of production value, the cringey generic lines... It's not good. I just feel like this is all crap I've seen already. "I feel like you're my person." That's original. And sorry but "I thought you were quite brilliantly broken" is some cringe edgelord crap an angsty teenager would say. "What did you like about me?" "I thought you were an F'ing mess." Oh. Well. That's charming. I would break up with someone if I got that line. Like that is not a compliment AT ALL. I'm just not expecting much here
Ghost Malone is a BAR 😂🤣
Agreed they definitely modernized the action scenes to be more like newer action movies. But as a channel that like things like John Wick, Sisu stuff like that I mean it’s cool here.
However, understanding people’s love for the original Crow movie from a purists standpoint we can get the hate/debate about this for sure. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion on it. Yours is very valid this seems more emo for sure.
Wooowwww I want this movie!!! I must!!!! Looks great!!!!!!!!!!
Call it something else. I think it is disrespectful to Brandon Lee. I can see a punisher movie. But this like trying to remake Enter the Dragon . Bro that isn't his role
That death scene was weak compared to what happened in the 94' version...stop it! He got shot in the chest and thrown out a 6 story window and Shelly got graped by four dudes and cut up.
Here's an idea: STOP EXPECTING BILL SKARSGARD TO BE BRANDON LEE! Let him do his own thing!
It is a “reimagining” so yes it’s not going to be the same as the OG. To a degree you have to take it for what it is.
couldnt agree more ....well said
people just hyping the hate train at this point as a life long fan of the books i am just hyped that we are getting another movie in this world ill take what i can get
Here is an idea: STOP MAKING CRAPPY REMAKES, LEAVE THE CLASSICS IN PEACE AND START HAVING NEW IDEAS
@@alejandrovillalba3143 That too, but it's not the actor's fault
No one expects that he is going to be Brandon Lee. People are sick of pointless remakes that try and over modernize everything which is why majority of them fall flat on their faces. They don't know who their audience is and they don't know that it wasn't just Lee that made the 90's movie raise the bar in comic adaptations. Look at all the Jokers, everyone makes comparisons no matter how good the actor is. Jared Leto's version got tons of heat because it was bad even if we let him do "his own thing." Are you going on all recent movie reboot recasting videos and telling people to stop comparing just because you don't like their opinions on it? Seems to be right now, if a majority dislike something, the other side immediately retreats to everyone bandwagoning even if they give valid points of criticism. Once they named this character Eric Draven, they opened the floodgates on themselves. We'll see how it does, expect the same as every other soulless reboot that gets regurgitated.
No. this movie is spitting on Brandon Lee's legacy and grave. They should leave this franchise alone and everyone who praises this piece of shit, is doing exactly the same thing: SPITTING on his memory, his grave and legacy.
A lot of people don't know this but the reason the crow was made is because of the festivals in Washington & los angeles & new york use to have and how much corruption in the police force and underworld of criminal activity really was and still kinda is today. Right now, i am already writing reboot 2nd script.
My idea-- main character is a musician who retires to find his missing cousin which the trail leads back to his manager who has him killed on the train tracks so the manager could still use his cousin to amp up the band members hes childhood friends with. My goal is to open The Crow(s) to the marvel universe.
And that's the whole movie :)
Fkn horrible. A distaste to Brandon. They just shouldn't have used Etic Draven but another.
THE PUNISHER COMBINE DEADPOOL BEING THE CROW 2024
Reimagined? There’s not much imagination in something that’s been done five times before.
Its just disrespectful to brandon who involuntarily gave his life for the original film. They could have used another character. Others have been the avatar to the crow. Using the eric draven one belongs to brandon
I think James OBarr the creator and writer of the novels & comics who was a consultant on the movie makes it ok. Love and Respect to Brandon for making a masterpiece and being the measuring stick but Eric Draven comes from the mind and heart of James OBarr.
Nicholson in 88 was the goat Joker...but Heath and Phoenix proved it is possible to not dissrespect and make your own masterpiece. RIP Lee & Ledger

5. Im just not impressed. Im down to see what happens n watch it but only whens its free lol
It’s certainly a unique take on the crow. Not sure if it’s the right methodology for a crow film.
Bill is a good actor. He will make it passable.
Some things don’t need to be changed or modernized.
Dude this movie is just big BOOMMMMMMMMMMssssssssssss----- the original Crow was dark and beautiful with the music; the Crows make-up everything about the original stands the test of time. They should of made this the new Crow period
From what I can gather from these guys and the comments and other people who are reacting to the trailer it kinda sounds like no one knows about the comics but don’t get me wrong it can go up or go down but everyone should know that the first Crow movie and this one are staying lore accurate to the comics
This is one of the members of the Podcast, I personally have not read the Comics or seen the original Brandon Lee movie...I plan on doing a first time watch so I can know what all the fuss is about with this reimagining... But for sure the first one from what everyone says is very comic accurate...which is dope. This can just be it's own thing though...maybe they shouldn't have called it the crow lol

Im going to give this a shot. I don't think the studio tried to remake the original film but do an adaptation for today's edgy teens. Good be bad, could be good but I'll see it.
The thing is people are expecting 80s grunge crow and that’s just not the case with this one it’s more modern and focused a little on the action side at first I wasn’t insanely happy about the new look but after seeing it in action it’s helped me like it a little more I love the shot of him walking up the stairs getting shot that literally is the crow and I thought that was badass so it’s not really out of character cause in the comic he had a sword too and yea Brandon probably wasn’t in as much gun fights but since we have better tech that can give us better gun fights and blood and gore so I’m definitely gonna watch it cause I have seen the other crow sequels.
I just gotta say this everything don’t need a remake
This is Florida joker crow lol
…..I can’t tell if you guys are serious. This looks fucking HORRENDOUS. They made The crow into a Sound Cloud version of John Wick. 😂😂😂😂
Nah I just think too many people are slurping Brandon Lee's love juice. I mean we get it The original movie is top notch
Horrendous is a really strong word! Lol there’s room to always appreciate the classic and still accept that the new one will be good in its own right…
You need to read the source material bro, The original is my number one film of all time but I LOVE the graphic novel and this is closer to that so. sorry bro your wrong but then again its subjective
@@jburgs100no the f it’s not. I don’t know what crack you smoked but this is nothing like the graphic novel whatsoever.
The representation of Eric IS closer, more unhinged, insane, all that's missing is the heroin addiction, don't misunderstand me its never going to top the original, its its own thing and people need to realize that ffs instead of all this clueless gatekeeping BS. O'Barr signed of on this and had input so I'm sorry the creators opinion
is final as far as i am concerned@@polly6896
And one of the original characters is in this film to. The one who dies in bis car scene. And the way they die in this film is not ass brutal

@wetpaintpictures9905 hey, I believe Chase is reaching out to you on Social Media (Instagram) we are dropping the trailer reaction later today!
the movie you're thinking about is Dead Presidents
I respect everyones opinions, after all, creativity and art are subjective, but this, to me, is just a tweaker ripping out copper wiring from a trailer home in Florida take on the crow. Should have called it something else and left a cheap generic revenge fantasy.
Completely understandable take with it not being called "The Crow" maybe they should have went that route.
💯
it seems that they may have met in rehab, so they are bonded to begin with. To go through that together and then to start building their lives back together, then die so violently right in front of each other is heartbreaking. So even in death, their bond ain't gonna be broken, so of course he came back. yeah that guy is Danny Huston. He's an excellent villian. He also played the ghose serial killer in the Coven season of American Horror Story.
He also plays a awesome vampire leader in 30 days of night
Im going to support it!
Bills an amazing actor!
This is not based on the 1994 movie but the O.G. comic/ graphic novel. Writers have already said it's a different adaption to the comic book antihero. Hiw many spidermans, Supermans, batmans do we get all the time. They literally said it wouldn't be based off the 94 movie. Look up the original comic book of the crow. Look at how his makeup is done compared to the 1994 film.
True love for this movie along with Brandon Lee is forever 🌹
The pointless remake that will get the same treatment as the sequels and tv show is not forever 🪦
The fight scenes aren't as good as what Brandon Lee died for. Brandon didn't want The Crow to be a fight movie. I actually like city of angels
But don't call your name Eric Draven.
The original crow is how i got my middle name....and i love brandon lee, but the new one looks dope, and it definitely doesn't deserve all the hate...
Agreed!
I'm guessing people are upset with the fact that The Eric Draven's story is being re-imagined and in their minds they consider that a NO-NO due to the fact that brandon lee did such a wonderful portrayal of the character; add to the fact that he died while making the movie and that just makes the role even more precious and iconic to the point where they feel it shouldn't be recasted with anyone, kind of like what they did with Chadwick Boseman's character BLACK PANTHER and to a degree I understand that and also to a degree I do believe certain roles played to legendary perfection shouldn't be touch if you're not going to stick to the material and get the right type of actor to play them, they had other characters from the comics that would have been awesome to adapt to the movie who have taken up the mantle of the crow that were just as compelling and complex as draven was, having said that I'm not going to make any assumptions about the film until I've seen it for myself, just going to hope for the best and that they pay some kind of respectful tribute to the original! 😉😁👍
Yes it does
I am looking forward to seeing this. The action looks tense. Maybe the only reboot that'll work for me.
This should be called the finch, the stork, the condor....if didn't use the core characters can call it the crow
🤣😂 "reimagining" though lol but we hear you!
HEY PEOPLE
... IF YOU DONT LIKE THE CROW COMPARISON.. THEN THEY SHOULD'VE CALLED IT THE DARK AVENGER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.. YOU WANNA ALIGN WITH A LEGEND.. YOU'RE GONNA GET COMPARED TO SEE IF YOU LIVE UP TO THE HYPPPPEEE!! 😊😊😊😊
Only giving it a chance because of bill ntg else 😂
You don’t “remake” the crow idiots. It was perfect in 94.
Tbh the original was trash
There are 3 sequels, it’s not a stand alone movie. This is the first one not trying to be Crow94 lite. Let’s give it a chance first.
@@Nba4ktbaby Graphic novel was super popular and 1st film turned into instant cult classic in the public mind. Soundtrack was also extremely popular but, "it was trash". Lol, yeah o.k... 😂😂😂
It’s LOOKS TRASH PERIOD!!!! It doesn’t look good from the cinematography to the color grading choices to everything else 🤦🏽♂️ compared to the original film and the fact that this is a retelling of the original and comic book it doesn’t look like it fits the vision of either. Worst this IP was built by Goth kids who they look like they have alienated in this version compared to the original.
But it is a "reimagining" not a "remake"...Totally appreciate and get your point on it not being the original, but maybe it doesn't have to be. It is a 2024 version. Personally (Aaron) I haven't read the comics or watched the OG...I will be doing a "first time watching" for the channel in the near future so I can better understand people being up in arms about the remake...These other guys have and love the OG
This is not going to cook well it's gonna cook cause it's going to be a dumpster fire
Fans and co-stars of Brandon Lee are outraged by this reboot! Disrespectful to his legacy. Fans have boycott this reboot. Brandon Lee deserves a better reboot similar to his work
This should do well, should, unless the audience isn't there, then guess it can all be blamed on fans.
Leo is a better Crow then Bill. Kra'ha🙌 🤣🤣
I think he is a phenomenal actor. The Crow is Brandon Lee. Honestly.. I think Brian Austin Green can pull this depiction of the Crow.
Here’s an idea: Hollywood stop remaking films that are already perfect.
This looks like a parody of the original, making fun of it being dark and bad ass corny version
This Crow movie is based on a different Crow comic from the 90s. It’s a different story.
only the looks, its not following the story at all from that comic.
It’s Eric Draven and Shelley Webster. It’s based on the same graphic novel as the ‘94 movie.
@@6li8storm40Only accurate thing they used was their name
@@NecramoniumVideo Agreed. I was replying to the guy who said it’s based on a different comic. It’s not. It just goes farther from the original story than the ‘94 version.
This 💩 literally makes me want to rewatch the original 10 times just to get this out of my head🤨🤨🤨👎🏾
🤣😂 DAMN…
The trailer seemed off to me and not just because of it being a remake! It's mostly because of Hollywierd's modern take on old movies and how they change them! They are not changing them for the better as some may have you believe and do to the fact that they are not going to turn into classics unlike the originals... For example: Total Recall (2012) Robcop (2014) Ghostbusters (2016)... just to name a few!!! People don't hate actors. We understand they're just working and gotta pay bills! It's the Studios making these dumb decisions.🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@unicorndelicious 🤣🤣🤣.... Always laugh when people think you can't tell something is going to be trash by watching a trailer (That's what their for)... I saw the trailer for all those examples I gave, and you can tell, but there's a stupid person born every min...🤷🏾♂️... I like Good Remakes and I would wager Most people do as well!!!
Trailers are supposed to entice you to come see the movie. Nothing about this trailer makes me want to see it. Absolutely nothing. Will watch the original again instead. Thanks.
Nothing will replace the 1994 classic so I'm willing to give this a chance.
You old heads funny like a mf
Now go watch Deadpool Wolverine trailer😅 so you could feel better LOL.
this crow is from wild justice
Whats Wrong with the Music Kanye West Style.😄
The problem i ee with people is they expect to see everything like the original and for it so have a same feeling, this movie isnt trying to copy the Brandon Lee one its ispired and folowing the comics with scenes and inspiration from the original movie,ž.
In my opinion Bill Skarsgard did an amazing job, the villan was a bit boring nothing rly that impresive in the end, as a young person that didnt see the original when it came out but still know it i can say this movie dosnt dissrespect the original in any way its a reteling a different view on the story.
and if you ask me its good also in the fact the new younger audience will be able to see the original and learn about it because they where met with the new one
Theyre saying he wont put his make up and coat till his final act. Ppl who seeing thw movie screening test are saying this
This is HORRIBLE!!!!! I tried to not watch the trailer and even though I feel Bill would pull it off much better than the other suggestions for the remake I have seen through out the years. I absolutely DO NOT like the look of the new look. The appearance alone has ruined it. But they will make money on it because people will want to reluctantly see it to compare it and by then, the film makers will be happy with its attendance. But I won't see it till its on a streaming channel or where I don't have to pay to see it outright. The trailer is extremely disappointing. It hurts my heart. This is nothing more than a vigilante movie who has supernatural powers.
There is too much color. The Gotham City appearance and shadow work like with the original is not there. Even the Crow 2 had better cinema elements for viewing pleasure than this new thing. I really like Bill but this has been ruined. The original had a hard anti-drugs message. The new one casts Eric & Shelly as junkies who escape rehab, go on a drug bringe & are eventually murdered. That tells you everything you need to know about what's wrong with the new film. For this remake to turn Eric 180-degrees on that mark is tantamount to blasphemy.
How can we go from Brandon Lee. To this emo Gothic whiny High School Dropout.
This lacks the soul of the original. I'm not one of these purists who say "never remake that," because it can be done. FF7 was my favorite game and story, and the remake has been really excellent. The Crow (1994) is my favorite film of all time, yet it could be successfully redone. But not like this. This is the vision of somebody who did not understand the original, someone who looked at it and said "wouldn't it be great if a movie was thematically this, but substantively a cross between John Wick and Mortal Kombat, starring Channing Tatum or a near clone?" Nope, that wouldn't be great. You didn't get the original. Develop a deep sense of empathy and then re-watch 1994, before trying to reboot, remake, or re-imagine it, people.
There's no contrast shown in this reboot. There's not the innocence of a child in Sarah, against this menacing, dark city. There's not the humanity of Eric and Officer Albrecht against both the inhumanity of what's left of Eric, what he is now, what he must do, as well as of the evil people he has to pursue. There's not Eric's melancholy along with his anger. There's no artfulness to him. There's no quiet to accompany his wailing. Based on the trailer, this doesn't appear to tap into the same emotional space the original did. It wasn't just a hot couple pissed off because their time was cut short and they were too sexy to die. Just saying "love" a bunch of times against a backdrop of a gory action flick with no art or irony doesn't reach the high bar set by "The Crow."
The makeup. This isn't a random face decoration, I mean the thespian masks of comedy and tragedy were hanging from the mirror, Eric painted his face deliberately as an actor (double entendre) who would be delivering some irony (the undead monster is the righteous hero, the humans are the evil villains; he brings fear to the frightening; brings to each their own vice, and murders the murderers).
So the makeup isn't just a superficial thing, where like hey, this is a cool drippy eyes thing, it's not just a franchise symbol, it actually signified something, and this new one only vanishingly represents it a teeny bit. It's barely there anymore. The face paint would have been the easiest way to get a real chill into the audience, if it had been on point. But no, they missed the lay-up (and mostly everything else, from the look of it).
Elaborating on a prior point here, but in the 1994 film, Eric and the Crow's violence isn't random at all. The knife guy is killed with his knives, funboy is killed with his playthings, the pyromaniac is killed with his fire, the speed freak dies at terminal velocity while falling from a building, the woman who steals eyes and wants the crows power has her eyes taken by the crow (before falling to her death) and the mastermind of all that pain dies from feeling all the protracted pain he had caused all at once (plus, some extra impaling because why not).
Why does it matter? Because in 1994's "The Crow" the violence is just an extra dimension of the turmoil, it's secondary to the emotions. He finds each of them in their own domain, and shoves their vice right down their throat, so they can suffer from it just as everyone else has. In this trailer, the emotions are secondary to the violence, which is the main thing.
They needed to pay more attention to the subtleties, the details. "Believe me. Nothing is trivial."
I really dont understand the problem. If you like the reboot, it doesn't mean the original suddenly vanishes. You can like both. And since it looks like this one is different in the way it plays out the story then they're not even competing. So don't compare. This one looks pretty good to me. (I don't like the hair either)
I think you are phenomenal. But this isn't Eric Draven. just call it something else. This isn't a lifetime movie. This is The Crow starring Brandon Lee.
@@toddjohnson5176 Believe me I'm no fan of Hollywood but I do understand why they wanted to use Erik Draven instead of Michael Korey. They're trying every hook they got to get butts in seats and brand recognition is a big one. However now they create comparison and while Bill is amazing, its really not the same character. Anyway, I will like it or hate it on its on merit.
Dead presidents
Almost subbed... then y'all started praising the Pigeon. Not true to the comic, movie, show or spirit of the indigenous lore.
Waste of money, time & effort
This movie will tank hard.
R.I.P. Brandon, sorry you're getting disrespected like this.
Seriously though. Does everyone hate it because it’s bad or because nostalgia?
I don’t exactly hate it, but I think it looks bland and generic, and the dialogue is *really* bad.
It also has all the atmosphere and emotional impact of white bread.
They mainly hate it because Shelly is black.
I wanna like this move but they used the eric draven name! That is brandon lees's character❤
just did my reaction! lol eh its aight
The reason he doesn't have long hair in this movie is because they wanted to pay respect to Brandon & didn't want to mimic him.
Really? That is really stupid. As stupid as the haircut he chose.
I personally don't give a damn how good of an actor Bill Skarsgard is and has been...some people aren't right for certain characters plain and simple. Bill is to tall for one, Brandon was 6 ft and lean which helped with stealth for the character. Bill looks like Machine Gun Kelly and sounds like Pennywise in this 😅😂
I don’t care about his height so much. But, he’s too buff for revenant, imo. And, even the best actor can’t do much with bad dialogue.
Ill be honest huge fan of the original but unlike others who are being negative im positive this will still be a hit too all the negative ppl learn to be open minded honestly its not hard lol
I went into the trailer with an open mind. But, the lack of atmosphere and terrible dialogue did me in. This looks bad.
Sure, there’s some decent action, but action scenes are a dime a dozen.
Lil peep
I want it to be good i really do . Im just not 100% into it yet
Idk looked pretty good to us
There has NEVER been a movie reboot that has pissed me off as much as this one does. The original was THE goth, underground, grunge anthem it is KNOWN to be that. This just f-ing pissed all over that entire community and made it a rap new age bullsh*t!
I don’t mind them doing a new adaptation of the original graphic novel, but this looks really generic. It also has some of the worst dialogue, and delivery of said dialogue, I’ve ever heard.
Oh, and it bugs me that he’s so buff. That’s typical superhero stuff, and it doesn’t say revenant.
I think one thing a lot of people are missing is the Brandon Lee Crow movie was an excruciatingly 90s American movie and this is so British/European in its execution giving it a much different flavor. But in the end, it’s a revenge movie either way.
Very not impressed
😂😅🤣 the music is so cheesy. I didn't realize Jared Leto was in this film . 😁 I recommend the Joker new trailer, Madness for two.
why remake these movies? i mean it looks like a good body count movie
I really don't care I rather see the one. Plus Brandon lee now how to fight just saying.
That’s fair
Can’t wait to not watch this.
Some mullet wearing SoundCloud rapper the movie with Autotune! Awesome.
When I see this trailer after I’ve watched it about 12 times I think the part I’m most intrigued about is the inevitable murder scene with the two of them. I feel this take on the Crow gives more of an in depth back story of them both before you know…. I feel that murder scene must be something extra disturbing
For sure!
