Little more than a subpar remake of the first outing.

Reviews for The Crow: City of Angels
Top CriticThis is a terrific debut for Pope, and City of Angels is the perfect antidote to the increasingly fluffy Batman films.
01/01/00
Vincent Perez is game, but he--nor anyone involved in this sloppy production--can erase the fond memories of the late Brandon Lee.
01/08/05
More than anything I've seen from Hollywood lately, City of Angels smacks baldly of product -- it's a movie with a lousy script but a great look.
01/01/00
Fans of both O'Barr's source inspiration and Brandon Lee's initial embodiment may want to nit-pick, but this Crow has something to crow about.
01/22/02
Top CriticUtterly devoid of energy and shock value.

Top CriticWhy didn't the producers save all the money they spent on these great sets and brilliant special effects for a script worthy of them?
02/27/01
Despite poetic overtones, this film is a hack job--an overlit, underdirected, barely scripted longform music video celebrating violence and bastard amber gel.
01/01/00
Stunningly awful.
05/03/07
Top CriticThe city of overacting, the city of bad writing and the city of truly dreadful sequels.
02/14/01
Top CriticOne of the year's most grueling cinematic ordeals.
01/01/00
Suffice to say, when people think of the moribund, brooding Eric Draven, they think of Brandon Lee, and this sequel isn't going to change that one iota.
01/01/00
What really stymies this sequel is the lack of the melancholic air of loss and mourning that bolstered the cartoon histrionics of the original.
01/01/00
Comes across as a scattershot video with corny and contrived action scenes.
01/01/00
Top CriticSubstitutes brutal violence and gore for character development, probably hoping audiences won't notice what a confusing nightmare this whole mess really is.
01/01/00
This dark and brooding sequel is an absolute pain to watch.
01/01/00
Memo to Edward R. Pressman: Gloomy Goth teens like the Romeo and Juliet stuff, not parental devotion from beyond the grave.
05/03/07
A pseudo-spiritual rock video for the symbolically challenged.
01/01/00
Although the setting has moved from Detroit to LA, the stylised urban wasteland, morbid atmosphere and basic plot remain the same.
