I loved this film - it was always interesting and lively and if Brandon Lee had been the lead every one would be raving - brilliant - leave it alone you boring idiots

Review date: 2007-05-13 Rating: 10 out of 10

People have been reviewing this film saying its obvious it was a straight to dvd release, but it wasnt! It was produced with every intention of having a full cinema release!However, after a poor limited release, and next 2 no publicity, this was shifted to dvd in the uk. Still fer better than city of angels(number2) and a million times better than the frankly crap wicked prayer(number4) this deserves a chance, especially if u find it cheap. GIVE IT A TRY!

THE CROW: SALVATION
Review date: 2007-05-04 Rating: 8 out of 10

I had bought this with the original THE CROW & THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER. I watched this last night in bed and I really enjoyed it. Its not as bad as people are making out. I admit the make up isn't as good as the original but it still does the job. This was a straight to DVD film so its not going to be that well known or well received but its still a good film in its own right.

Kirsten Dunst (Spider Man) and Eric Mabius (Cruel Intentions) star in The Crow: Salvation - the third film in The Crow series. Wrongfully executed for the murder of his girlfriend, Alex Corvis (Mabius) returns from the dead and sets out to find the real killer. Aided by his girlfriend's sister (Dunst)... and under the guidance of the mysterious crow he unmasks a tangled web of corruption and deceit. Alex seeks not only retribution for his injustice, but redemption for the darkness in his soul.

The Crow: Salvation is better then I expected. Although the straight to DVD feel is apparent during the action scenes. Salvation is a very good sequel in The Crow series.

The violence of course is bloody and gory but this time it actually feels justified like the first time with Eric. Alex uses his healing powers more then they did in the other Crow films, either from actual need to heal or just to be playful. A common aspect in The Crow films seems to be each hero is shot several times by several eople and they then look on in amazement as they die by the hero's hands.

The acting was decent but nothing mind blowing. Mabius seemed to be having more fun doing the action scenes then the heart felt scenes and it shows. Kirsten Dunst is good in her role but everyone else isn't (apart from Mabius). What made the first film stand out was the villains had depth and each one was unique but with Salvation the villains are introduced then they face off with Alex and meet their death, zero depth just all typical tough villains that try too hard to be considered evil/brutal.

While this is no masteriece Salvation pulls its weight and manages to be really good but its still not perfect.

I've seen all types of straight to DVD films and there is normally something about them that tell you why they are. This should have been in the cinema but due to the studio execs seeing it as not making as much money as the original it bypassed cinemas and went to DVD.

If your a fan of the series I recommend you see this film and try and see it as a film in its own right because it ends up being a pretty good film in its own right.

Thank you for reading my review.

Dunno Why Everyone is slating this film
Review date: 2005-08-03 Rating: 10 out of 10

i really liked this film. i am a big fan of the crow and i thought that the crow city of angels was sub par but this is right up there with the first one. the story makes a change from the tradition and comes off very well. the crow character is played very well and black is back after the sort of shades of brown that the 2nd film was filmed in it was good to see a dark feel to the film again. in my opiniojn you really should see this film just like you should the first.

What a waste of time and money

Should have listened to the critics! They were right by saying, that the Crow II was not half as good as the original with Brandon Lee and they also were right by saying, that #III was a complete disaster. Stupid story, cheap effects and completely untalented actors (eps. Eric Mabius as the Crow. This guy has no charisma). As I said: Complete waste of time and money!
