1.0 out of 5 stars An abomination of film and license November 7, 2005

By N. Durham HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Miramax just keeps beating a dead horse. The original Crow film, forever remembered as the film that would have shot star Brandon Lee to superstardom if not for his tragic death during filming, was somber in it's tone but was an excellent action film and undoubtadly one of the best comic to film adaptations of all time. Not long later, a sequel (Crow: City of Angels) was churned out based soley on the first film's success, and it was an absolute waste of film. The third film (Crow: Salvation) wasn't quite as bad, but marked the first film in the series to be released direct to video, and when watching you can see why. And now, we have the Crow: Wicked Prayer; the fourth film in the series, and the second to be released direct to video. The storyline (if you can call it that) revolves around an ex-con Jimmy (Terminator 2's Edward Furlong) and his Native American girlfriend who are murdered by a Satanic biker gang (led by David "Angel" Boreanaz and has-been in the making Tara Reid), leading to Jimmy's ressurection as the latest incarnation of the Crow. The first thing you'll notice from the film is the absolutely horrible acting from everyone involved, whether it's Furlong slumming through his role to Boreanaz hamming it up in the film's climax as a wanna-be comedian Satan. Not to mention that poor old Dennis Hopper is here as well, but for no real reason. The storyline is devoid of any emotion or conviction, and what has happened to the soundtrack? Every Crow movie, no matter how bad one could have been, would have a great soundtrack, and Wicked Prayer certainly doesn't. I wouldn't even recommend this to the most die hard fan of the series, Wicked Prayer is an abomination of film and it's license, and it should be avoided by everyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fast forward! July 23, 2005

By K. Napier VINE™ VOICE

I couldn't wait to give this film a chance. Being a big fan of The Crow and most of its incarnations.

I must say that after watching this film I honestly believe that any hope for another decent film based on The Crow is gone. I tried forcing my way to the end, mostly because I paid for it. Upon getting to the point where the mexican/native american (never knew for sure which) does the crow dance to heal the bird I was a goner. I had to fast forward it through the rest of the film. I can't believe that someone read this script and said "I'll give away money to make that!"

The acting wasn't overly bad, mostly just a bad story. Edward Furlongs character has absolutely no confidence as The Crow and it showed. You couldn't make out half of his lines in the movie. The romance between him and his gal was totally unbelievable. I honestly could write a chapter on why I hated this movie, but it just isn't worth anymore of my time. Buyer Beware!

PS: The soundtrack was just a waste. What happened to the always cool Crow movie soundtrack to redeem at least a few scenes?

1.0 out of 5 stars what are some of you thinking? November 20, 2005

By P. Chaos

Format:DVD

I got online and read the reviews of this movie and there are actually some people who thought it was on track with the original. What is wrong with you people this movie was bad and when i say bad i mean it really sucked., I felt like 90 minutes of my life were stolen away from me. Edward Furlong was the complaining the whole movie the crow is supposed to be a badass and he was like some little kid. David Boreanaz who i think is a decent actor really was not very believable as the villian and Tara Reid possible took the title away from Elizabeth Berkley in "showgirls" as worse actress in a movie ever. Do not buy only rent if you you are at the video store and your choice is this movie or bridges of madison county because at least you will laugh at the crappiness of this one!
