Reviews for The Crow
Bursting with startling images, eclectic staging, and gorgeous neo-gothic set design...it looks and feels truer to its roots than any dozen Batmans or Dick Tracys.

A compelling exercise in style over substance.

It is a stunning work of visual style - the best version of a comic book universe I've seen - and Brandon Lee clearly demonstrates in it that he might have become an action star, had he lived.

[The] film is much more interesting visually than in story, which is merely a superficial excuse for the violent dispatching of bad guys.
01/01/00
Follows an entirely predictable path, but does so with style and intensity.
07/27/02
Everything you ever wanted in a mindless revenge flick.

The film that killed and immortalized its star still holds up quite well . . . I doubt (Lee) would have been so fondly recalled had he died on the set of Laser Mission.

Simply more of the same gritty superhero nonsense that appeals to depressed 15-year-old boys. And it's not done all that well, either.

A testament to the lost potential of the late Brandon Lee.
12/30/02
Lee's death gives the film an eerie feel it never earns.

A spectacular-looking new film that sets new standards for visual style.

I liked Lee in the title role. He just deserved to be in a better film.
