They basically took The Crow and redid it here. similar characters, names, some appearance and such, basic order of events, some lines. The actors are ALL different and barely look the same. It is not nearly as beautiful or dramatic. Some lines are repeated, but with different context and no feeling. It feels rushed. The city is not dark or rainy like the original. It almost looks like it was made for a tv series. It's not really worth the money, and I'd rather watch the crow 2 than this blasphemous remake. I don't really know why they made it. It wouldn't make sense for this to replace an out of stock original; it can just be re-released. I rented it thinking it was the crow 3, but was disappointed and disgusted. it's not worth it; they asted time and money in making it. I actually give it 0 stars but 1 was the minumum.
