Good screenplay, great cinematography. Yes, The Crow was a good movie, yes, a sequel won't be as good, but City of Angels does a great job. Those who complain about the similarity (face paint, crow symbols) have missed something-THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME THEME AS THE CROW. Tying the first movie into the second one via Sarah was an interesting idea. Although it loses some momentum at the very end, it is still enjoyable. If you want to complain about a travesty of The Crow, see The Crow:Stairway to Heaven. After watching that, you won't complain about this one.
