Critics Consensus

Filled with style and dark, lurid energy, The Crow is an action-packed visual feast that also has a soul in the performance of the late Brandon Lee.

Anderson Jones

Detroit Free Press

The film is haunted by a reworked script that may be weighed down by Lee's memory, making it a bit of a morality play and a little faux sentimental.

Rated: 2/4

Terrence Rafferty

New Yorker

Alex Proyas's pulp revenge fantasy, based on a comic-book saga by James O'Barr, is dark, moody, and seductively overwrought; it's an amazingly pure expression of morbid adolescent romanticism.

It's a pleasure to welcome The Crow -- a bird of a very different feather.

Lee's portrayal of Eric Draven was dark and mysterious while showcasing his ability to do action scenes.

Elements of Madness

... despite its emo & goth trappings, Lee brings an optimism and heart to Eric, a soulfulness that centers hope, love, & connection, creating the opportunity for positive affirmation in the aftermath. Or, as we come to know, “it can’t rain all the time.”

Neither masterpiece nor cringe, The Crow lives eternal as a work of abject earnesty.

How all the Crow sequels and remakes after this great movie were so terrible is a shame and doesnt honor Brandons memory for his performance in this film! Even after all these years this is still a great story, great soundtrack, great movie!

Overrated bore off a movie. Saw it when it first came out and didn't rate it but thought I would give it a rewatch after all the love it has received since the the announcement of the remake. Unfortunately my opinion hasn't changed other than I forgot how terrible the acting was.
