What do you remember about "The Crow"? Did you see it in the theaters back then? This classic 90's action/revenge flick is based on a comic book starring the late Brandon Lee. Brandon, Bruce Lee's son, was tragically shot and killed on the set while filming "The Crow" making it his last appearance on screen. What did you think?

How does this movie hold up? What did the critics say back then? With all the new movies and TV shows nowadays, should you put all that aside and watch this 90's Brandon Lee movie again?

Here are some reviews and ratings...

Anthony's Pick:

"Do you consider 'The Crow' from 1994 a good movie?"

I think, tragedy aside, it would have been an above average action/revenge movie with a memorable aesthetic. But Brandon Lee’s tragic death, combined with the themes of the story itself, have given the movie a lasting mystique that elevates it.

I have to say though, the movie has a killer soundtrack. It was huge back in the day, and I still love it now.

Al's Pick (4-Star Review of the Week!):

"Terrible"

Probably one of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. I was reluctant to watch it for most of my life and finally decided I couldn't ignore the hype I'd heard for so many years.

I really just could not see the point to this movie or any redeeming qualities. And I feel pretty open minded about movies from my perspective.

I mean, you should watch it because you should always check out creations with this much hype for so long, but it's just not good.
