  i was just reaching that age when i got weak in the knees around girls in black lipstick who listened to type o and kept the crow VHS tape in close proximity to the VCR

  i don’t know who tf this remake was supposed to appeal to, but it sure as fuck wasn’t anyone who grew up with the original

    The Crow died with Lee. Like father, like son.

  I was going to say we should give it a chance. But then I read that the director also made the live-action “Ghost in the Shell.”

    I’m not going to say it was good but I will say it wasn’t objectively a bad movie. ScarJo was the worst thing about it. They did mess up a bit by white washing it and changing the story line a bit, but the change in the story was going to happen one way or another to appeal to an American audience since this was a Hollywood film.

    If we’re being honest here the depictions or most of the other characters were pretty decent (excluding the villain and the Major), and cinematography wise it was pretty decent.

    It was something of mashup of storylines from the Stand Alone Complex show and the original movie, and while I was disappointed in it as a fan of the Ghost in the Shell Franchise, I can say it wasn’t like Dragonball movie levels of terrible.

      Right. That’s the thing that was totally unnecessary: making a Hollywood film to appeal to an American audience. It drained all the life out of the story.

      Sounds like this version of The Crow was also unnecessary.

  Can’t wait to make myself suffer (though I also said the same thing about the ghost in the shell remake and then had to turn it off after 5 minutes)
