I was really psyched to see this movie. I was hoping to see a Carmen Electra sex fest. Boy was I let down. There is only one scene where Carmen was in action, and that wasn't even any good. The scene was like a music video with a bunch of rapid cuts and closeups. I don't know if it's me, but i like a lot of wide shots with very little cuts. The reason I don't say this movie deserves zero stars is because there's this one hot scene in the movie where Carmen pours milk down her body. But if you're looking to see Carmen naked throughout the majority of the movie, prepared to be disappointed.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. I got it hoping to see Carmen Electra, but there is a body double for all the nude scenes. Don't waste your money.

Much of the plot didn't make sense, and the acting was B- at best. Thus, one was hoping for a little more female display that frankly never materialized. With several hot chicks, there's only one scene of any consequence and that's with Carmen who's beautiful face and overall figure is frankly diminished by an apparently stiff set of implants. But, that's the world these days. So, if you're a Carmen Electra fan, it's still a good addition to your video library.

Honestly, I rented this hoping to have some good material to watch while I was playing with myself. I was thoroughly disappointed. Most MTV videos have better plot and acting. But nobody rents this sort of movie even for the cheese value; final analysis--Carmen Electra is nicely round, but she's horribly photographed and blurry.

The sound on the DVD is excellent as well as the selection menus. Not to mention Carmen Electra...

As a movie destined for 'USA Up All Night' (without any need to edit it for television even),'Legend of the Raven' is dead average. As a movie from the people who brought us 'Sgt. Kabuki Man, NYPD' and the 'Toxic Avenger' flicks, it's a huge dissapointment.

'The Chosen-Legend of the Raven' is the story of a young woman [Carmen Electra] who is chosen by birthright and circumstance to take up her family mantle (represented by a necklace with mystical powers) to become the Raven fight against an Evil that threatens to swallow the world. The film depicts her transformation and her first battle against said evil, manifested in the Wolf [Shauna Sand].

Nice concept, exceedingly bad execution. The script is very nearly devoid of focus, the acting is almost universally bad (Shauna Sand shows some glimmers of talent, or maybe just carries herself with natural intensity... but this is offset by Carmen Electra's thoroughly wooden and amateurish performance), and the fight scenes are as lame as any ever committed to film. There's not even anything remarkable about the camera work or costuming, and there's no humour to speak of. To top it off, the Raven's enemies seem more pathetic than truly threatening.

The only thing I can think of to recommend this film is that it *did* manage to hold my attention. Unlike many other poorly made films the creators here at least had a sense of pacing.

My advice? Pass on this one unless you're the world's biggest Carmen Electra or Shauna Sand fan. If you're looking for a film with woman superheroes, get 'The Heroic Trio' or its sequel 'The Exceutioners.' (The latter is more in line with the tone of 'Legend of the Raven, but is a vastly superior flick.)

This film is a pretty bad one. It has the aura of a late night erotic thriller but is just too silly.

If you are a Troma fan, you may be able to get through some of the silly parts. One of my favorite quotes in the film is Shawna Sand-Lamas "You have the power." (Not to mention her little interview in the extras of the DVD.) She has my vote for funniest low budget beauty that cannot act at all. Her scenes look like she's in pain trying to get her lines out. Carmen Electra shines in this film though (probably due to her surrounding actors).

I was hoping for a more action filled superhero film in the lines of The Demolitionist and Black Scorpion, but it wasn't. As a matter of fact there isn't much butt stomping by Electra in her nice superhero outfit at all.

The big bonus to this one is that the women cast in the film are sexy as hell. Huge amounts of cleavage running away from the bad guys. Every film has it's good qualities.

The film tries to take itself a little too seriously most of the time, when it could have been made to be a hilarious low budget sexy action film. It should appeal to people that like late night erotic thrillers and don't mind miniscule budget movies.

have zero interest in her. These were gifts for my boyfriend. The product itself is ok I guess. Shipping was better than the other items I bought at the time. Sorry took so long to post. New to amazon.

For fans of the cult classic, The Crow, its femme fatale counterpart has arrived! This movie is as cheesy as superhero movies come, but the fact that it was made in 1998 and features its title character in scantily clad superhero apparel (sans cape) as well as an uncomfortable-looking steel mask makes this movie a favorite among comic book geeks. It's so similar to Brandon Lee's swan song that it basically has the same typeface, and 'raven' is in the title, so both movies got the bird theme going on. The scene where she walks into the bar definitely screams "I'm here, bitch!" It's nice to know that a sexy vixen like Carmen Electra can kick ass and take names, all while looking good at the same time.

the dvd is of poor quality. the movie is very blury. the actors and unprofessional. the plot sucks.
