This looks like the Crow Machine Gun Kelly. They remade a love story without the love.
Off topic, but did you see the creator of ValiDate is a total racist?
This is my DMC 2
🤔 the screenshot of Eric holding the knife to TinTin was a more interesting shot then this whole trailer
Now here's the thing. In the graphic novels there were different crows other than Eric Draven that not only had different face paint but also different abilities. This crow here healing slower and feeling the pain plus the different look would make way more sense if they set it up as a whole new story. And I believe people would be open to it more, but the fact they made it "Eric Draven" Crow just messes up all that.
The GF is black now. As the ethnic minority,
Shelly is not allowed to stay dead, she will be brought back to life,
Eric dies, and she ascends as the new Crow.
Calling it now.
I'll buy you pizza if this is true lmao
that is very very possible 😂
It's still permitted to unalive a unicorn to demonstrate how Hitlerian you are.
I wouldn't be surprised if this happens 😭
Good call. I'm not gonna watch it so I'll never know...but good call
"...made for a modern audience."
Is so crazy to me because the original holds up well to a modern audience.
Pretty much like most things
so called "Modern audiences" are not a thing
@@AkumetsuLord "made for a modern audience": Aka, we're going to shove unwanted commentary and sanitized writing into an existing property and you're going to like it!
Modern Audience = Most insufferable Californians imaginable.
"modern audience" More like " unimaginative Executives"
Yarp. Prompted by... this... I've just shown the real version to my 17 year old daughter, and she loved it.
Brandon Lee kinda gave his life to make the original Crow. This didn’t need a remake.
One of his stunt doubles, Chad Stahelski - known these days as the director of the John Wick quadrilogy - carries the action-movie flame that his actor ignited. I wonder how he feels about this remaster (or remake, I could be wrong)...
Now you think of it, this sudden accident with Hollywood props "malfunctioning" has been going on for every other several years. At this point I'm starting to think that for people who know about this weird repeat situation, I'm having a feeling there are some scumbags in Hollywood will gladly take advantage of those opportunities to get somebody "out of the spotlight" if you get my means...
@@Gyrfalcon312He probably would’ve done a better job tbh
@@tylerjames805 Hell yeah. Mr. Stahelski knows martial arts, and now gun-fu - damn right, New Crow's action scenes would kick major ass under his lead. 👊
He probably even became a crow. Watching over those he loves.
He looks like a Tiktok E-Boy more than The Crow
I guess it's the only acceptable kind of straight white man they can portray these days. 💀
That's exactly what he looks like. Ugh.... 🤦🏾♂️
The original crow was just a 90s boy of his time.
@@hun34rd27 um. nope. Although the costume was a favorite on halloween for a lot of edgelords for a long time.
@@hun34rd27 not at all, he was a 90s goth icon that looked like & inspired goth kids, a very niche group of kids
Two minutes in and it seems like they might as well have tattooed "damaged" across his forehead
Making him a chick magnet, apparently
Instead he gets 'lullaby' tattooed over one eyebrow because he's a sensitive boy, y'know
"Beautifully Broken"
Alllll the red flags lol
More like “brilliantly” and “broken” over each eyebrow to hammer the point home.
In the graphic novel, there was no race against time to save Shelly. She is dead, it was tragic and Eric is very distraught and traumatized from it. He’s brought back to get the bad guys. The story is simple, to the point, sweet and sad. You root for Eric because he and Shelly were good people in a corrupt city. Am I supposed to root for a couple crackheads in this new one? God, it’s so awful.
He’s saving her soul from hell.
God the graphic novel is so good. Had to buy it twice as I wore my first copy down.
@@hun34rd27 I know, that was never in the original story.
@@jackburton1455 I have two copies of it too!
@@hun34rd27 If she did something to deserve hell, The Crow wouldn't resurrect Eric. The point is that her death was a pure tragedy. They make her very innocent in the graphic novel and 1994 movie. She dies in the movie because she's trying to organize the fellow tenants in their building against the slumlord that owns the building and kept it a hovel. If she got killed because her criminal past caught up with her (which being damned to hell implies she was a criminal) the guardian Crow would not see her as worthy of avenging.
1994: Eric Draven quotes Edgar Allen Poe
2024:Who the hell is Edgar Allen Poe?
Once upon an 11:30 dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over my wish for Hollywood to be no more --
Fingers against my keyboard rapping, when suddenly there came a crapping,
On screen someone greedily scrapping an IP I'd loved before.
Insipid tripe and nothing more.
...........
And Hollywood, never flitting, still keeps shitting, STILL keeps shitting
On timeless films we love now and evermore;
Their eyes are all a-gleaming, of the dollars they are dreaming,
And their souls from out that greed they so completely have absorbed
Shall be lifted -- nevermore!

@@Maladjester This is true art, you had me nearly choking on my food over here
The Crow, 1994
The Cringe, 2024
Why do they make everyone look like Joker and Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad these days?
Insane women idolizing a relationship where they marry a serial killer
oh no,@@axiss5840 the new improved harley quinn dont need no man. she gay now, and so is joker. lol
Women.
It's all Gen Z knows
The better question is why is Bill Skarsgard in it? Give us the Mamoa Cut.
Director: "So you want us to make a faithful remake of the original Crow?"
Studio: "No, I want you to set a trashfire so goddamn big, the gods'll notice us again, that's what I'm sayin'."
"ARE WE HAVIN' FUN OR WHAAAAT!?"
“I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE WORM ON A BIG FUCKEN HOOK!”
Dipstick Lesser Execs: Yeeahhhh! _raise pens and coffee mugs_
fire it up
fire it up
fire it up!!!
@@TonyTama Get some smokes. And road beers. Make it quick!
"You feel like my person."
This sounds like something that a serial killer/necrophiliac would say to their victim as they were mutilating them.
Why can’t they just leave classic movies alone? Stop doing remakes, reboots, sequels…
BE ORIGINAL!!
The plan is to subvert and destroy all classics and all cultural institutions so they can start at "year zero" with their ideology unchallenged. They'll keep on doing this until they run out of money or they're stopped by force.
Az: "They are boring"!!!
You can have another adaptation of the comic. The issue is that they're making a high budget CW cringe fest.
The only saving grace of this is they didn't make it Erica Draven. But I bet there are drafts of the script where Shelley came back to avenge Eric.
In an add way, I miss the copyright dodging knock offs. They were oof, but at least there was a degree of separation and they could kill the lazy writers/producers.
The best thing about the OG antagonist was that the dude looked like a straight 90s anime villain.
Long flowing hair down to his elbows. Clean-ass $5000 suit and that big ass sword with the black leather glove attachments.
More than that, all his eccentricities still seemed realistic within the film, because why wouldn't a big drug kingpin collect weaponry and wear totally dramatic clothes? He practically owns the city, he does whatever the fuck he wants. He was a great villain!
Guy had the drip. Hated him but liked his style
@@aliasfakename3159ugh I had such a crush on Top Dollar. 😍
Late 80s anime ova serialized villain but go on
You got a point there. And like some twisted anime villains, he has a bizarre and suss relationship with a sister
This doesn't even have the gothic neo noir grunge aesthetic that the original had, it looks and feels like any modern Hollywood action movir
Brandon Lee's legacy will live on in the fantastic film he gave his live to create and all the lives he touched.
Fuck this reboot and fuck the people who made it.
I'm getting *REALLY* tired of reboots and remakes. Unless you have something genuine to offer to the franchise, leave it alone. Grow some balls and make something original for once.
@@frug5629A-f*cking-men!!!!
Can't watch either movie, this one is too cringe and the old one makes me too sad to think of watching.
@@CMCAdvanced
The classic is GOATED, but it is truly tragic.
It’s one of those movies you can only watch once.
Similar to Requiem For A Dream.
@@frug5629 if you must remake, can’t they choose films that have the advantage of newer technology if it requires special effect action scenes?
As an older Gen-Z this just makes me want to check out the original Crow EVEN MORE lmao.
EDIT: Finally saw it the other day by popular demand, and yes it's definitely better than this remake.
As a 90s teen, watch it. What you waiting for?
It’s great watch it
It's so good dude, peak 90s.
Go check it out as soon as possible. It's honestly pretty good.
It's a fantastic movie.
Eric is a strong, independent woman who needs no Crow.
How dare you assume Eric’s gender 🙃
@@princesssmileyface91Eric does kinda look like the person who would have pronouns in the bio...
Honestly if anyone told me "You feel like my person"... I'd be running.
That shit is not what anyone would say to their partner without the partner giving them a side-eye and telling them "No, you ruined the mood, I'm going to bed."
I'm not the smartest with comments... why does this phrase raise a red flag with ya?
@@Gyrfalcon312 It's tumblr romance, which is fickle and shallow.
@@Bonesawisready926 I guess I'd have to hope that some girl lays the line on me while we're in the sack, see how it registers, hehe.
Right now, the wording seems modern, a touch less romantic than I'd fantasized about, but not necessarily out of the ballpark entirely.
'Favourite Person' is a BPD term for the fixation they can develop. Usually unwillingly.
Big surprise the writers are completely unhinged.
@@axiss5840 I think everyone in Hollywood has some personality disorder at this point. My mother had that particular one and I hate how much it's romanticized these days. As someone who got treated as "favorite person" that is a nightmare, because you will also be punished if you do something that doesn't conform to their ideal of "favorite person" It's a prison and I hate how much Hollywood romanticizes notions like that.
You wanna subvert my expectations, have a healthy relationship were they don't expect perfection from their partners.
"you feel like my person" is the most AI line I've heard in anything to date
Oh, I hadn’t thought about AI. That would go a long way to explaining the dialogue here.
The idea that Draven's wounds take longer to heal and that he feels more pain is misguided. Part of the point of his resurrection is that all other pain and even fatal wounds PALE in comparison to the deep sorrow over what was done to him and his wife-to-be.
It's how he kills Top Dollar at the end of the movie! "30 hours of pain!" The utter anguish of Shelley's rape and murder, combined with the sheer heartbreak of having to watch it and having no power to stop it...not even death can match it. That's why the Crow is such a force to be reckoned with, and is part of the overall message of the film, I think: there is no pain like loss, and death pales in comparison to the evil that men do.
Also there's a joy in seeing that nothing the evildoers do even phases Eric. He's going to get justice. He laughs at their evil ways and their weapons. Literally. Nearly all of the best moments of the film come from the fact that he cannot be stopped. Nothing these thugs do can harm him anymore (at least not until the end).
Also why get rid of the actual crow and make Eric go it alone? One of the beautiful things about the OG film and Brandon Lee's performance is that when he's resurrected, he's a MESS. He has no idea how or why he came back, and is still essentially mad with grief over Shelley's death. The actual crow leads him on his path, and through Eric's new power of psychometry (touching things and reading memories/feelings from them), he begins to see his purpose. From there, the crow is not only his guide, but acts as another set of eyes, which was always a neat little extra superpower for the character I thought. It also acts as Eric's link to the land of the living, and becomes his Achilles Heel at the end of the film.
But instead we just get rid of all that. For what? Given the trailer and your description of what the filmmakers are aiming for, I don't think it was a fair trade. I think they just ditched the crow element so they could jam in their own half-baked ideas.
Like making the thugs interchangeable goons and the villain an evil businessman. Top Dollar was a real sicko, and had a malevolent charm to him. His half-sister concubine was a sicko too, and Tony Todd's character was a real pro. T-Bird, and each member of his crew had their own personalities. Fun Boy, Tin Tin, Skank? I remember all of these characters. Taking shots with actual fucking bullets? "FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!" C'mon, that shit was great. You loved to hate these characters, and they helped denote just how fallen their city had become.
And let's not forget the two supporting characters in Officer Albrecht and the girl, Sarah. They were the lights in the darkness, both for the city, the audience and Eric himself. Some of the last good people who cared in that fucked up world. But God forbid we have a police officer who cares and is BLACK, right? Can't help but feel like there's a convenient political discretion going on there...
Don't even get me started on the soundtrack. But then, most popular music is utter garbage today, even among what passes for the Goth culture today. So we were never going to win on that front.
This just seems like the shitty CW version of the Crow, and I spit on it. Looks like an utter disgrace of a film and a shadow of what came before. If you're going to change things or ditch them, you better make DAMN SURE what you go with instead is as good, or are at least earnest attempts to create something new. This just seems like more of the same sludge we've seen.
The writers are like edgy/emo teens who watched Joker or Dark Knight, went ''I can do that.'' and wrote Jeff the Killer-like fanfic.
Seconded.
The Crow? This bro looks like the Dodo.
😂
My sides 🤣🤣🤣
Well played 😂😂
I think the Vulture might be more thematically appropriate
This is the cinematic equivalent of DmC Devil May Cry.
J, please pin this!
THAT'S who he reminds me of!!
Never have I seen a comment hit the nail on the fucking head as much as this. I wish I could like your comment twice!
Yes!!! 😂 👏🏼 👏🏼
This is ACCURATE!
Crow is fitting because this is picking at corpses at this point.
What hurts more is this was based on the authors reaction to his wife dying, he was a cynic who fell for a woman who saw the good in everyone, her life was cut short when a drunk driver killed her, he wrote the comics as a reaction.
Ya and apparently time didn’t heal.. writing this comic didn’t heal the pain which then links back to the ‘ even if you get revenge.. they’re still gone.. revenge ultimately isn’t satisfying.. but. Hoping people will change is much better..
Whoa whoa whoa....
It's been a LOOOONG time since I saw The Crow, but weren't Eric and Shelly a pretty normal, happy couple trying to make the best of living in the shithole city? I don't remember them being convicts before they died. And where is the little girl?
Also Eric looks like he forgot to wash off his makeup after his audition for Heath Ledger's Joker.
Pretty much yes. In the comic, they were even more normal with Eric being considered a pillar in the community, as he was a mechanic and helped them fix their cars and the like usually without charge. They were both very well respected. If they make them convicts it would truly be a very shitty change and one that really damages the project out the gate.
Yeah, Eric was a metal musician, but they were normal people. Bohemians, but still really decent people. Eric's character as a good person comes out when talking to Ernie Hudson and Sarah.
Yeah. That plus making the bad guy supernatural really hurt the story. I am not necessarily against a criminal crow or a supernatural bad guy in a crow story, but this is supposed to be a remake of the original.
@@futuretrunks9839 If Shelley and him were killed because Shelley's criminal past caught up with her, I don't think the Crow would bring Eric back to avenge her, I really don't. I feel like he'd say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
@@futuretrunks9839Yeah, the entire reason Shelly and Eric were targeted by Top Dollar was because she was trying to organize the tenants to stand against the slumlord who owned the building for better conditions.
It kills me how many people are trying to defend this by saying "It's more true to the graphic novel" but if they're names weren't Eric and Shelley literally nobody would know this is supposed to be The Crow. This looks like John Wick with Joker Leto.
This is giving me really bad Morbius vibes.
Funny how they used Ozzy Heart of Stone a song about a loveless relationship, in a trailer for the Crow a story about love.
Thought it was a Post Malone song?
@@gravesidepoet5405 It's a Post Malone song, but Ozzy collabed on it. I think it's a great song that doesn't fit this trailer at all.
‘The Crow’ was one of those films in set in this weird alt-90’s, sort of fantasy looking cities. I’m talking about ‘Se7en’, ‘Dark City’ (yeah I know, same director), ‘Flatliners’ hell even the ‘Spawn’ film.
It made them timeless in a strange fantasy way, like they were familiar but from another world. The Robert Patinson ‘Batman’ film kind of nailed it though.
Yeah, this doesn’t do that hahaa!
Shit, even Batman and Robin and Batman Forever had cities as their own characters.
@@Bonesawisready926 Right. _Their_ Gotham City looked friggin' fantastic; if I recall right, some of Batman Returns had some of that artistic license (el train sequence, mainly).
Batman always nailed it. The choice for the art-deco environment in The Animated Series is timeless.
Exactly. It was it's own world. This looks like every city. The afterlife resembles one of those tented farms where they spray plants.
I see what you mean. It was like a dark dystopia, almost like an extra circle of hell. I never thought of it like that before.
“The land of the dead is just basically New York… when it’s foggy outside…”
As a New Yorker… not far off.
Bro...Did he say
"You feel like my person"
Because he couldn't say "You're my woman" and she couldn't say "You're my man" because weirdo's online get offended by the basics of reality.
"I was a big fan of the original, but what really drew me to this role was how the director wanted to make it completely different from the original." I believe this is what the kids refer to as cap.
So lemme get this straight: Eric & Shelley escaped rehab together but Shelley's old drug dealers found her & killed her for revenge? The point of the original is that Eric & Shelley were innocents.
Nope. Eric and Shelly have a previous drug addiction (same in the comics) when she comes across the main villain and see's him taking a soul to extend his own life, so he sends his goons to kill eric and shelly. Still innocents.
@ggfob.508 wrong about the comics. It was random. In the movie it's like a rent thing or somw shit
@@milkmancometh149 nah i'm saying eric has a previous addiction with drugs in the comics. so eric and shelly being in rehab for drug abuse doesn't make them not innocent. i'm talking about why shelly and eric are murdered in THIS movie.
@@ggfob.508 Incorrect. Eric was clean in the comics when he was alive. After his resurrection he only pumped himself full of morphine to try and numb the pain of being separated from Shelly as he was caught up in the 'velocity' of his chaotic quest for revenge. It had little to no effect on him.
@ggfob.508 I cannot imagine being so smugly confident while being so wrong lmaooo
Man, playing "There ain't no coming back" right next to "I killed you" is so stark. Brandon doesn't say shit to T-bird, just lets him piece it together until he realizes how screwed he is. "Yeah, I know" is just pathetic.
That comparison HURT!
The performance (and probably the soundtrack) made that scene iconic.
This was just trash
Edit: found out this was shot after Lee's death. Some of the most icon scenes were after he died. Makes you wonder
T-bird spent his whole life thinking there was no afterlife so he could be as evil as he wanted. Then the Crow shows up and he realizes that if something can bring you back, then there must be some higher power and he's on its bad side
'Do you want to know how I got this meth? My father...was a dealer.'
1:33 Anything that reminds you of Tumblr is an instant warning sign that there is no hope for film whatsoever.
“I thought that you were brilliantly broken”
You know, I’m sure it’s not the intention, but that could easily be taken as her having wanted somebody that could be a project to fix into what she wanted.
I don't think anyone would mind this movie if they didn't use the most popular version of the character played by an actor who tragically died making one of the most popular 90s comic book movies.
For real. Why does it have to be Eric Draven? Just tell a new story with a new character that the Crow brings back.
The Crow literally has so many stories and so many characters who become "The Crow", they could've adapted any of those stories and maybe did a better job than any of the sequels (City Of Angels deserved more)
What really sucks is the Crow is a mantle. For once, they have a clean slate with an established franchise. They could have created a brand new story with the Crow with different characters and different character names. Then you couldn't really compare the two movies because they are different Crows (like the original movie series). Instead, they just took the old one and shit on it
A lot of people didn't like the 2nd Crow but I really did. They expanded on what they already had and changed it just enough along the way that the ending was just awesome.
Boy looks like a 16y/o cosplayer with a $50 Hot Topic giftcard, good golly.
Some facts about the graphic novel.
Eric and Shelly met when she was taking photos of his band.
He defended her when a guy started to be a jerk to her. So yeah, in the comics they didn't meet in rehab.
Also interesting fact the original creator made the comics to help him cope with the lose of his to be wife. Who sadly died in a car accident, due to a drunk driver.
Kind of makes the people butchering this story look more like a**holes. Like a grieving person made this to help them vent their emotions over a lost loved one and this is what you do to it? Pretty horrible if you think about it.
They don't care they r to busy trying to divide people and brainwash the youth.
Well, at least there wasn’t a slowed-down ‘Nine Inch Nails’ song played over it.
Yeah, played with one hand on a distant piano.
Literally no soul in current movies, comparing those 2 scenese next to each other. How are people now days so proud of the current garbage they dish out
The scene from the original is made better by the fact that Eric is wearing full make-up, making his identity more difficult to determine.
because they arent old enough or literate enough to know any better, they don't watch anything from before they were born so they have no idea how much of a downgrade all their shit is compared to what came before.
So its The Crow without a crow? Can we bring back the writters' strike permanently?
Fr, whats the point of calling it "The Crow" anymore if the crows won't serve any purpose in the movie 😭
Next up is the screen actors strike this year for 2024
"He looks like a school shooter." Oh no, he does, lol.
I havent finished your reaction yet, J, but I just wanted to say seeing this pop up in my feed this morning made my heart sink.
The original film is a classic cult movie with a tragic production history, and it's based on a series that was made by a broken man struggling against all odds to cope with an even more tragic loss of his own. James O'Barr lost his fiancee to a hit-and-run car accident and his life was thrown into misery and despair that, too my knowledge, he never quite recovered from. He made the Crow comics as a means to vent his anger, sorrow, and regret at a world that took his love and light away, seemingly for no reason at all. The series went on to host multiple writers and creators, each telling their own story within the mythos of the Crow, and has been a staple of alt/indie underground comics ever since, and a genuine monument to the pain of loss and the fight for justice and catharsis we all face.
This is an insult to everyone who put their lives towards capturing those stories, and I refuse to see it or give it the attention it so brazenly demands. Watch the original, read the comics, and don't give hollywood what it wants.
So that was Mr. O'Barr's impetus to pen the comics... I vaguely remembered that there was darkness there, but not the exact scenario.
Some fine art he made from reliving an unimaginable situation.
Sometimes that is what art is for. 🙏
They got the best people from the finest Opium dens around. Feel their Apathy! Gasp at their lack of emotion! The Crow! Apathy is his Vengeance!
"Finest Opium Dens" 😂😂
I’m older Gen Z. This movie is millennials trying to turn Gen X gothic into Gen Z edgy
written by some gen x'ers not milliennials.
@@will-macnair The first writer was born in 1980, while the second has only written three things (very recently), so he could possibly be Gen Z.
This feels so accurate
One positive thing about this film is that it's free promotion for the original film, especially since the original is getting re released in 4k!
I don’t remember the original crow being allergic to wearing a shirt
He looks like the joker guy that got arrested and made fun of in the GTA6 trailer
Some remakes you can tell straight away that they either won’t do well or they won’t be near as good as the original. And one big reason for that is because classic films simply cannot and should not be remade. The Crow for me is one of those movies.
Could you give an example of a good one?
@@teslawolverine7009 a good original film or a good remake?
@@Yi-Zhu.Lou. A good remake where you could tell it was good straight away.
@@teslawolverine7009 there really isn’t a lot lol and it pretty much goes on opinions and not reviews. In my opinion Cinderella and Mowgli are the only two Disney remakes that are actually good and had been good from the trailer. There’s also Dune.
@@Yi-Zhu.Lou. Thanks! None came to mind for me 👍
The Crow is actually one of the few franchises where you can make your own original character and do your own thing. But no they just had to go after Eric
The new one looks more like a ‘what if Zoolander was the Crow!’
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao, Crow Derelicte. At the end of the movie he reveals his Magnum look to defeat the villain.
LOL
😂😂😂😂 good one!!!
John Wiccan
Watch and see - your meme is gonna get seen, and blow up! 😆 Good one!
12:50 That's actually a samurai weapon called a wakizashi. It's basically just a short katana.
My first thought, too, on seeing that blade... just a few hours slower than you, though. That's the second blade that's always depicted on a samurai's kit, right?
5:12 The OG Crow had 90s alt rock, a style that matched the grungy neo-noir architecture of the city and general "vibe" of the film. This remake doesn't have either of those aesthetic pillars.
Remaking the Crow is like remaking Star Wars. Don’t do it! Period. Make prequels, make sequels make a movie set at the same time with a second character related to the crow but do not remake the goddamn original! It’s the movie that literally got Brandon Lee killed and a lot of people take that seriously to this day. Even the director of the original didn’t want to accept payment for the film after Brandon’s death because he said “It feels like blood money”. This isn’t a case of “maybe we shouldn’t”. It’s a case of “don’t you dare do it”! Even if this was the perfect movie it wouldnt work. This………? It’s an insult to a cult classic and the literal sacrifice made by Brandon Lee as well as the heartfelt tribute to his memory by the director to finish the film in the man’s honor!
TL;DR. The original is a literal monument to a great man and testament to a directors desire to honor said great man’s memory. You. Cannot. Remake. It.
J, don't forget to continue the Robyn Hood reaction. Just two more episodes, girl.
"brilliantly broken"
This is what happens when the writers enjoy their own farts
Why is this shot like it takes place in the CW Arrowverse?
Oh no! CW’s The Crow! 😭
So.. well spoken people are the villains and the drug addicts are the good guys
The "Brother ugh" meme gets me every time 😂
Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is
Classic line, bro! 👊
@@Gyrfalcon312 I was originally going to quote
"I shagged her pink ass and she loved it"
I also loved in the orginal he kills all the people with there own weapons. The drug guy with drugs the explosive guy with explosives ect.
I did read the graphic novels, several of them actually. In the original with Eric and Shelly, the villains didn't have supernatural powers. They were a group of thugs who randomly attacked Eric and Shelly who was trying to fix their car after it stalled on the side of the road. That's all they were, a gang of thugs in a random act of violence against two innocent people just minding their own business. You should check out the original graphic novel by James O'Barr, it's a fantastic book.
"He doesn't have the confidence or physical prowess to take his revenge easily." Neither did the original. Eric was a literal dead man walking with a tormented soul. Being shot at and stabbed didn't bother him because he was literally DEAD!
"He doesn't have the crow as a companion, the birds don't guide him." ......oh lord what the fuck they doing? I hate this.
This is going to suck....How the hell did they make City of Angels look good in comparison?
On the topic of so called post 2016 diversity where Hollywood sniffed its own farts and thought caving into tumblr and twitter whiners where Turning 60% white for their villains is somehow suppose to satisfy these freaks, it’s worth noting Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters Helped Eric in the 1994 original film!
Yeah, a black officer assisting a dead guy right the wrongs and now the remake trailer 30 years later is just Pete Davison knockoff trying to save his junkie girlfriend
Just looking at the thumbnail made me remember how good the OG film was
But Lauren, Shelly's black now. They do still have that card to play when they find out people hate it.
New Shelly is biracial, previous Eric was biracial, they switched them around.😅
We have the card that says that they white-washed the villians
The "new" crow makeup looks a lot more jokery then it should be.
They just made him the protagonist from the Devil May Cry remake - brilliant.
3:40 No. That's not the thing. The villains in the comics don't have supernatural powers. The two main villains in the original movie were into the occult, but they weren't supernatural.
6:41 He felt pain in the original as well.
7:16 And in the original, it took him a year to come back. This added a lot to the story. It gave his friend's time to grieve his loss and his enemies enough time to get comfortable. So when he comes back it's an especially big deal for the people who loved him. And it gives a slow burn tension for the enemies as they slowly remembering what happened a year ago and why he's back for revenge.
18:29 The Crow City of Angels is probably the most frustrating film in the franchise for me because it had the most potential out of all the sequels. It was trying to do its own thing and it even originally had a wildly different ending. And they specifically did it that way so fans wouldn't think it's trying to take the place of the original.
But one of The Producers on the movie decided that it needs to be more like the original, so he ordered rewrites and reshoots. And so the film ended up as a mess. And that producer's name was Harvey Weinstein. I reckon that's the second worst thing he's ever done.
19:33 The city's name is Detroit.
20:10 Then what the hell is the point?! They just decided that one of the core fundamental aspects of the story isn't important enough for their movie! If they didn't want to make a Crow movie then why did they make a Crow movie?!
SEND THEM TO DETROIT!
Why? Money. There's money to be made off the name of a beloved movie. They believe it doesn't matter if they do it justice or not if they can make a profit.
Finally, someone mentions how easy it would be to rip those bags open, lol!
In the original Crow,
Nobody wants Eric & Shelly to die
In this new trailer,
I think everyone just wants them to hurry up and die 😁🤣😁🤣😁
They done turned the crow into machine gun kelly..
This version is like the Dante in the Dmc remake lol
This looks like someone tried making the joker from suicide squad into John wick
The Crow never needed a remake and I seriously doubt the filmmakers understood what makes The Crow so tragic.
It really feels like they saw Dante in DMC and wanted that as their hero design. The dialog and story seem to be on the same level too but that game at least had the fact that the gameplay was fun to give it a redeeming feature. This movie is probably going to be one of the biggest bombs of the year.
Brandon Lee is Eric Draven/The Crow is a masterclass of filmmaking and this remake is DOA after we heard the "modern audience" bit.
Also J when are you going to do a review video with SinglePlayerCarl, Mauler on the American Society of Magical Negros? Because that would be comedy gold right there.
"brilliantly broken"
Oh sis.
I can't remember where I heard this but I remember someone a while back say how it was really nice how in the 90s film adaptation, there was no underworld or spiritual plane Eric goes to to get his briefing. He just slowly and naturally pieces together why he's back in the land of the living and who he has to drop to find peace again and go back tot the afterlife with his girlfriend. So why do these people suddenly feel that for this version they need to undo that and have Eric be told what he has to do?
Maybe the people behind the movie think that the modern audience is too slow to follow Eric piece it together. Everything has to be told so the people on their phones get it too.
One thing I love about the 1st Crow was that even the villains had enough screen time to know something about them. Even though Tin Tin is the 1st to die, I got the sense that he was a thief. Obviously, he loved knives. But he stole and sold the goods to Gideon. And the banter, the exchange between them indicated that they've known each other for some time.
Gideon and his pawn shop are in connection with T-Bird and his group.
[Eric tosses rings at Gideon] "Each one of these is a life you helped destroy."
It's a perfect example of Less is More.
I hate everything about this.
To the people saying this is like the comic - never read it.
And no - in the 1994 one we didnt need any back story for their love story, the flashbacks were enough. You understood what was going on without having to see it all play out from start to end.
Every single bad guy in the 1994 one - had personality and were memorable
The scene with guy in the car - was the one that really made me mad. The scene from 1994 one - T Bird was legit terrified and you felt every ounce of that performance - the exchange between him and Eric not saying a word was perfect. That guy in the trailer is like he's chatting with a bud.
Call them anything but Eric and Shelly and I wouldnt be mad, it'd just be ok look its another crappy sequel but it might be fun if drunk. This -hell no. This is not my Crow. I got my Crow comin for Anniversary special edition in May.
There's other Crows from the comics they could have taken and made into a movie. Leave Eric and Shelly's story alone - that's Brandon Lee's legacy.
Like its one of the first movies I know I wont even go see in theaters, because I would walk out or end up yelling at the screen.
I cant wait to see how bad it backfires and how bad it does.
I would have rather had them had the Mamoa version and done that. At least they made him look like The Crow. He's probably a true fan and when they wanted to do some shit he didnt agree with, he noped the fuck out.
I read it and this looks even farther removed from the comic than the original. The original movie was basically the same plot with some changes (Top Dollar and Albrecht were minor characters and T-Bird was the big bad) but it was basically the same story with some stuff added.
This doesn't look anything like the comic period.
And I agree, I would rather a (well made) adaptation of another story instead of remaking the only good Crow movie.
Jason made the right decision. And deep down I think he realized they were going to trash Brandon's legacy so he wisely walked out on his own terms. Brilliant.
There was not a supernatural villain in the original comic, no.
The original movie crafted a main villain (Top Dollar) who had some semblance of spiritual connection via his half sister, which i felt lent the story a more robust cinematic structure, but overall the original film was pretty darn faithful --the changes were in service of the story.
I really think they should have made this movie about *a* crow, not the original, Eric Draven.
The crow has empowered multiple individuals--this new movie could have given itself a clean slate in this regard and been judged as it's own story.
27 characters have taken up the mantle of the crow. 27 different stories to pull from. This feels much closer to Michel Korby's character. So why not just go with him over bastardizing Eric Draven?
He has the Gen Z perm.
"I killed you,"
"Yeah, you did,"
Not even enough energy to power Tiger handheld toys.
How can it be extremely violent with only one action scene?
MODERN AUDIENCE! Why is this still treated as a respectable phrase to use in marketing?
You know what
Am glad Jared Leto joker finally getting a sequel
For me it is the car scene. It just shows how much the old one was so much more eloquent almost poetic. I really wish Hollywood to stop fucking remaking reimagining movies.
"my person"? Wut, Is this written by Sweet Baby?
Did anybody bring an extra bag?
Yes I did
When he gets blasted by the shotgun, the blood splatters on the wall behind the shower curtain but the shower curtain doesn't get a drop on it.
They portray them as these counter culture anti-establishment looking types to juxapose against the proper, straight laced white baddies, when in fact they *are* the establishment.
Crow: The brand. "Get your Eric Draven eyeliner at Walmart when you see The Crow in theaters."
They're out here raging in step with the machine, not against it.
I legit thought that was Steve-O in the thumbnail.
If they absolutely had to do a The Crow remake, wanna know what direction I would take Eric's design?
Full on corpse paint.
Just leaning all the way in to the Black Metal scene. The lead singer from Advent Sorrow is a good example of what a 2024 Eric could have looked like. You get your tattoos, you get your long hair and you get the face paint, but everything is more raw and ragged.
The way the leadsinger looks in "Pestilence Shall Come" is near perfect for me: th-cam.com/video/kgijKmkw-v8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AG17P7Z-Oew1frIW
Hell, why not have Eric actually be a rotting corpse while he's taking his revenge? I dunno. Just ... ANYTHING is better than this bs
Either that, or I'd say a good idea would be to give him a makeup job like they did Vincent Price for MadHouse. More so skull like and less clown. Or the lead singer of Ghost? Anything would be better than what we got.
The corpse idea is good, but now that just makes me want a high budget adaptation of Johnny Gruesome, which is about a walking corpse getting his revenge, albeit less metaphor on grief and more unapologetic slasher.
The main guy looks more like Drake of the 99 Dragons than The Crow
There are two types of edgy, cool edgy and cringe edgy.
This movie is the latter.
We’re back to twilight levels of writing.
