Weekly Movie Review: The Crow

[Starscream]

@HowardC: The reason they probably hired Abrams for Star Trek was BECAUSE he didn't give a crap about it. You answered the reason why when you talked about how Johnathan Franks handled Star Trek.

This isn't unheard of recently. Comic writer Warren Ellis was given the G.I. Joe property by Hasbro and told he could do just about any thing he wanted with it and the characters. The short cartoon series G.I. Joe: Resolute came from it and it was amazing. Best part is Ellis had no prior knowledge of the Joe Universe having grown up in England with Action man.

As for the Crow, Hollywood needs to let it be. Maybe make another serious sequel without the young John Connor fighting Angel/Agent booth and Tara Reid. Possibly then we'll have another movie worth watching like the first and second films were, but don't "reboot". Both those, albeit somewhat lame by today's standard, are really going to end up going down as the unsung classics of the 90's.
