A measured reaction. haven't seen the original yet but i agree with most of your observations. The tones of the 80s/90s cinema was always going to be difficult to reproduce.
Despite the original version being the hallmark of Brandon's legacy and a highlight of 90s cult cinema, perhaps it would make sense that they portrayed this as an extension to the original story with new characters as to not mislead original fans of the film. However, it's definitely something that will be perceived differently for many people, especially for folks who haven't even seen the original film. Remakes and reboots can be a topic of further discussion.
I’m curious to see it, but I’m tapering my expectations. I definitely like Bill Skarsgard as an actor. My one observation when I first saw the trailer was that I wondered if the look of the character in this version of the Crow is meant to be inspired by Lil Peep, with the face tattoo, short hair and tall thin build. As much as I was kind of disappointed that they didn’t go for a look similar to the OG movie and graphic novel, I imagine that the producers probably felt the original Eric Draven look became so associated with that era in the 90s and the whole goth scene at the time, that they were trying to go for inspiration from a more recent look that’s already struck a chord with a similar demographic. Wondering though if people will find that look dated as well by this point, being years after Lil Peep’s death and the whole downfall of the SoundCloud style of rappers since.
Thanks for sharing your remarks! I agree with your perceptions and am also curious to see how this film goes from a different perspective. I also think the overall viewing experience is certainly going to have many mixed reviews and reactions. I think it'll go well if we're looking at it from different angles, like fight choreography, stunts, or other film elements, but narrative wise and the overall character portrayal will be up to various viewing experiences perhaps.
I think the movie will have great visual, but the dialogue is too on-your-face and the villains are less interesting than 1994 version. Just like the remake of Robocop and Total Recall, it will be decent or solid film but not as iconic as Brandon Lee's version. So Brandon Lee fans, don't worry.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. For me, I think this version has the potential to do well "action cinema" wise if we're looking through that lens, but I feel there's a lot more to unpack and dive deeper into once the movie hits theatres in June.
