O Corvo: Vingança Maldita

I started out watching this movie with an open mind, keeping it that way until it was all over. But what I found was; a large piece of junk... Badly acted, badly filmed, badly directed and very badly written!

I love the first movie, but I have not yet seen the second two... But this one was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, alongside city of fear, that is.

It was SO bad, I can't even try to explain it, but I just want to warn you all, it's BAD! (Not Micheal Jackson bad... Just plain old bad) Edward, David, Tara, Danny and Dennis all reach a new low in this movie.. And under no circumstance would Edward Furlong ever make a good crow... What on earth were they thinking here? And what was Dennis Hopper doing in this one? He tried to sound like a pimp, but ended up sounding worse than Chinese-water-torture... (Probably not his fault though... I think I blame the writers) Also; David, Danny, Edward and Tara have all appeared in good movies before, proving their ability to act... It's just this movie that drags their names trough the dirt... Making Edward a dirty s*** after this one and Pet Cemetary2...

I give this movie a 2... since I'm in a good mood...

I reviewed the best and feel obliged to review "the worst?" (debatable since City of Angels is so boring). This movie is a one time watch train wreck you can't take your eyes off of. It's such a mess and such a bad movie that it is an amusing watch even if only one time. As a Crow sequel or anything even associated with The Crow comics this is a shameful thing to be hidden away from the world and forgotten about but as its own thing, a study in weirdly bad cinema it merits a viewing. From strange casting decisions to ludicrous storylines you will be mesmerized at just how bad it truly is. If you're still on the fence this should get you off of it...... Tara Reid award caliber performance, on of the corniest and most ridiculous villains you'll ever see and a Crow who cannot fight. Still on the fence? THERE IS NO FENCE!!!

I adore the Crow franchise... I love all the movies and even the T.V show on occasion.

But lets face it, Wicked Prayer was the worst movie to date. The original was fantastic, as they always are, the second (City of Angels) was passable, but Vincent Perez was great as the Crow. Salvation, my second favourite, made use of some amazing young talent... But Wicked Prayer?! No. David Boreanez is a great actor, I think he did an amazing job as Angel in Buffy and Angel, Tara Reid is great in all her other movies... But so miscast in this it's untrue... The new crow, not too bad, but far too underplayed! Where's the angst? The special effects were lousy to say the least and it seemed the director was too interested I'm piling up the body count than making a genuine love/revenge story that the entire crow fiction centres upon.

I honestly have to steer people away, as only the true die-hard fans would want to see it, for the sake of saying they have seen it. Every one else would be put off the movies for good!

By no means a perfect film although by far the most amazing in the series bar the first. There is something about Wicked Prayer that is so cool, an i think id have to say it is Edward Furlong. This guy really does make a good crow. Maybe because unlike the other previous Crows, he doesn't pretend or act like Brandon Lee, instead we have a much angst an angry Crow, who doesn't go out of his way to b nice to someone that isn't guilty. It makes for a difference in plot and story. Okay Boreanaz was alright up to a point, then just started to act a bit too Angelous(don't get me wrong i love Angel, an think Boreanaz is great in his series, its just that he overacts in this as Angelous). Dennis Hopper was awful, over-acting every word and statement he had to make. Sure it didn't help him that his dialogue was fairly crap and to a certain extent pointless and Tara Reid just can't act. The story its self is rather entertaining and adds originality to the crow story instead of it just being the usual re-telling of the 1st, like city of angels. I would just love it tho if the love theme from the awful third film made it into this, then at least you wouldn't have such an amazing theme linked to an awe-full film. Oh well, the music wasn't that bad, tho nor was it good. Anyway, moan the furlong, this film has certainly made me a fan of his. He was amazing, in a hugely under-rated film. I'd advise any one to watch this cause it was actually a great film.

My almost top ten favorite movie is since I'm 14 "The Crow" with B.Lee. I love it too much, to say there is a good sequel from it. No. There isn't. The second part was OK, the third terrible and this... i don't know what to say about. It's a big hole with full of sh*t... I hope lot of people around the world understand with me, because the original movie was one of the biggest thing in my life. I'm very sad, because there are a lot of emotions in the story and I can't understand how the sequels are so stupid and cheap, full with action(worse action)against feelings and love... I hope there will be no more movies with this title, because Brandon will really come back to make the wrong things right!
