Review of The Crow: City of Angels (1996) by Enrica C — 07 Mar 2011

This sequel to "The Crow" was just as I expected it to be: useless, a boring copy of the original. It makes you understand how right Brandon Lee was for his role, he was the heart and soul of the series, so no wander why these sequels kind of didn't work out. "The Crow: City of Angels" is basically a copy of the previous movie, but it lacks that malinchony, that gripping story, and that style, not to talk about a main character that was actually able to act.

Vincent Perez did a decent job considering how good his rivale was, but... he's not Brandon Lee. During "The Crow 2" I really didn't know whether to laugh or take Perez seriously, I ended up laughing at the scene most of the time - and I didn't really want to, but the story, dialogues and acting were kind of ridicolous most of the time.

After what happened during the shooting of "The Crow" I don't think that movie should have had a sequel: it was already perfect, so why ruin something good? To me this sequel was just a bad copy of the previous movie, I really wish I hadn't watched it.
