The Crow Critic Reviews NUKE Worst Movie of 2024

The Crow reviews from critics are out as The Crow remake releases in cinemas in 2024. Many years in development The Crow tried to repeat a cult classic, but has it been the success it's creators hoped? Bill Skarsgard is a well liked actor but starring alongside FKA Twigs in a series with little tension and lots of emo is a tough ask. The Crow has stiff competition from Madame Web and Borderlands this year, but can The Crow remake take that title? Is The Crow worth watching?

The Crow reviews are out and the critics are not happy. While Madame Web and Borderlands looked to have the title of worst movie of 2024 wrapped up already. The crow decided that it wanted a shot at the big title itself. A remake of a cult classic that was never particularly successful itself, this movie went through development hell, and it shows.

Even descriptions of the movie don't make it sound even remotely tempting. Slow, boring romance combined with rare action sequences, if anything the trailer makes it seem like misleading marketing at best. The most entertaining part of this movie, definitely seems to be the reviews. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

The Crow made for a modern audience = "The Dodo."

Everything about the original Crow meant it should never be remade. No one wanted this.

The original: Eric and Shelley are genuinely good people — a light in the darkness, if you will. They were engaged, soon to be married, and were murdered to clear out an apartment complex.
2024 Crow: Eric and Shelley are drug-addicts who meet-cute at a rehab centre…
Tragic, good people > trashy drug addicts.

The reason why the original movie was loved was because you wanted to see Eric get his revenge against the guys that killed him & raped his fiancé. While he was practically invincible, a weakness was discovered that was vital to the end fight. The sequels couldn't live up the first one, and there's no reason to try a reboot. They'd be better off re-releasing the original in theaters.

Nothing can beat the original Crow. They've made several sequels / remakes that were all unsuccessful.

[oldgregg.]

Remember, this movie wasn't made for the fans of the crow. It was made for that "modern audience" that never turns up.

The Crow didn't need a remake. The original with Brandon Lee was perfect.

[alexman]

Honestly what they did with Shelley is unforgivable. She’s based on the original creator’s very real fiancée, who was his sole beacon and source of happiness before she got senselessly killed, which inspired this whole story to begin with. The fact they turned what was a beautiful and caring person into a reckless junkie is sickening.

The Crow is a beautiful and tragic piece of art. The original graphic novel is literally the author's therapy of getting over a dead loved one. The Crow is immortal, and allowed to get revenge on those who wrong him but in becoming an immortal... he's frozen in his state of grief. Though he smiles, laughs and makes jokes at his victims his eyes are always crying. He can't hurt his victims a fraction of what they hurt him and he quickly gives up trying. He doesn't need them to understand, he talks AT his victims before finally killing them... eventually seeing the act of killing them as a chore he has to get through so he can finally be allowed to die and possibly see his beloved again....

I had no intention of watching. Ever. Brandon Lee playing guitar on top of a church can never be replicated.

[gromester]

They made Eric Draven and Shelly into a meth head in this turd of a movie. Did they not see the original movie? Eric spent a number of scenes in the movie trying to make Sgt. Albrecht quit smoking and in one scene in the movie when he was with Sarah’s mom, he literally drained the heroine out of her arms making her sober!

[Talon]

Original Eric: Loveable guy, "It can't rain all the time", tragic, murder victim gone anti-hero
New Age Eric: EDGE. DRUGS.

[FixCongress]

The original The Crow was freaking amazing. This is a remake that begs the question, "who asked for this?" No one. No one asked for this to ever be remade. It's just creatively bankrupt Hollywood trying to cash in on what they never understood to begin with.

[Neiri-qgwk]

The fact that they had Eric and Shelley meet-cute in the movie shows they don't get it. In the original The Crow, Eric and Shelley are already engaged. We're brought into their lives as a couple so they're immediately intriquing. No drawn out love story

[jadespider]

Brandon Lee's goth kids COOL. That's not possible, goth kids aren't cool. He did it anyway! No remake will EVER do that.

[DaNinja]

Three words..."see the original". None of the movies based on it can touch Brandon Lee's take. Sadly he died during the making of it. R.I.P. Brandon.

[MamaMOB]

Can they stop remaking good movies? They are not good at making movies so by remaking good movies they just make them bad. The crow was the right movie at the right time with the right cast. And Brandon Lee died giving us that movie. There is no topping it. So there is no reason in trying to remake it.

[GreenClassified]

The Crow was heavy, morbid and brilliant. Brandon Lee left us with a masterpiece. RIP. There is NO remake!

[njmfff]

What made original The Crow powerful was that we never actually see Shelly. The only moments we learn about her was from scenes that represent Eric's (shattered) memories and only time we actually do see Shelly is actually how Eric sees her. That's what made it so powerful, because it immediately put you in his mindset. You are watching their tragedy (and injustice done to them) through the eyes of Eric, quite literally.

Kinda feel bad for Bill Skarsgård, I think he has potential to become iconic character actor, but he should stay away from projects like this. I get why he wanted to do it, it's iconic role, but you know, Hollywood peek creativity nowadays is calling spaceship "the vessel".
