Your man makes me think a bit of Dante from the DmC reboot. It's been a while since I've watched the one with Brandon Lee. Loved the song The Cure - Burn.

Not looking good.
Looks like Jared Leto's the Joker cast as hoodrat Draven and thrust into "John Wick City" and called "The Crow". The first movie was close to a religious experience for those of us who saw it in theaters. But I could tolerate a reboot, but this isn't going to be it. They should've dug in deep and translated the comics as close as possible to really dive into the world that O'Barr created. Some Director who thinks he is smarter than the source material won't cut it. |

This looks terrible! There was no need to reboot The Crow. They nailed it 30 years ago!

Not sure about Post Malone Crow but I'll give it a shot. I didn't hate that trailer.
Is this REALLY supposed to be Eric Draven? Because nothing here makes me think this is supposed to be the same Crow.

we already had a skinny guy who went to Jail and became the Crow in one of the DTV sequels.
I wonder if Brandon Lee hadn't died if it could've become a franchise. I mean aren't the comics also based on different people becoming the crow? But I guess they wouldn't have gotten rid of Brandon Lee had he not died,he would've starred in a likely still awful idea for a sequel where he is now more of a superhero I guess? But also the movie would've been a bit different since they actually had the acto |

You see what I mean? Tale as old as time. This is like Star Trek 2009.
"What if Kirk... wasn't Kirk? And had a whole different origin and made him a whole different man?" Yeah, you might get one movie out of it and you're done because you forgot your audience. They just had to make it not Kirk. As with this, Draven. Talk about a self inflicted wound.

It looks just interesting enough for me to give it a chance but I don’t have high expectations by any means. Similar to TMNT, the gritty, low-fi aspect is part of the DNA and it seems to be missing here. Very much glossed up by the look of it.
I love the original and every once in a while, a movie will surprise you though. I’ll watch it at home and judge for myself. |

I just can't wrap my head around the disconnect here. The source material iconography is very clear, and very much had a lot to do with how you get behind Eric. Yet in this movie they visually turned Eric into one of the strokes in the gang who kills Eric and Shelly. And notice too how the bad guy seems like some clean cut, well off business man. Wow. Stunning and brave. Expectations subverted and all that.
The great equalizer will tell the truth as always - how much financial support will this get from the public. Hope Bill Skarsguard gets more roles in the future, hope the Director and writer of this mess never work again in Hollywood. |

Blegh.
Should've been more based on the source material, where Eric's resurrection was more questionable than fact. It was darker and more poetic than the Lee film, and Skarsgard has the chops to flesh out that version of Eric. But this just appears to be a rehash with more blood and less interesting villains. I'd see it out of morbid curiosity and not genuine interest.
