The Crow Reboot Review
This is what ComicBook Nation host Kofi Outlaw had to say in his 2-star review of The Crow:
Under the direction of Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) and the genuine effort made by stars Bill SkarsgĂĄrd and FKA Twigs, The Crow isn’t a total failure – but it is a messy mismatch of high-art aspirations and bloody, brutal, B-movie action-horror. It’s both vibrantly alive with creative spark and passion – and a listless, muddled attempt at telling a cinematic story.
…It’s not impossible that, despite its flaws, The Crow will follow the path of the original and grow into a cult hit in years to come. If nothing else, it’s one of the biggest showcases yet of Bill SkarsgĂĄrd’s potential as a leading man (and not just the lineup of odd creatures and/or creeps he’s played). But, after more than a decade of trying to get this reboot off the ground – and all the creative talent that’s been attached to it along the way – it’s almost amusing that middling effort is the end result.
