Very boring and barely any action


Just saw it. It's terrible as expected. Very slow and barely any action.

Damn. It was the action scenes in the trailer that made me think it might be worth watching.

I'm an hour in and it is boring.

I don't get why he doesn't look like The Crow character...

There's all of this supernatural stuff going on an criminals but no one has personality.

I have worked with criminals my whole life and the first movie had all of these weirdos in it that are fairly accurate when it comes to druggie criminal degenerates. The actor who plays the main bad guys plays the same rich snide type in every film and as soon as I saw him I knew he'd do it again.

Meanwhile, the Crow looks like some average guy not a weird supernatural superhero, which is what the character is.

Also, none of the bad guys have characters that I find detestable, as in the first one.

It's like they made a Batman movie where he's not in a costume and everyone is fairly average. The Crow takes place in a weird crime filled world where magic is real, and I'm not getting that here, at all.

In addition, the Crow actor doesn't show much emotional and so the scenes with his girlfriend don't sell his passion for revenge very well.

The scenes with the Arab guy explaining to him that he has these powers is also lame. They should have had him become the The Crow, like in the comics, and then figure things out as he goes along, so it's a mystery to him and the viewer.
