<p>More of the same unoriginal and boring hollywood execs trying to squeeze more money out of a many times beaten dead horse. The sequels were unnecessary and this remake is ridiculous. Yes, the first one did not stay true to the source as closely as it could have... does it ever? I love the movie, but I loved the comic first. I had issues with some of the things they changed (like them injuring the crow to get his power - PUHLEASE) This concept should be buried for a longer time than this before anyone even THINK of trying to remake, even though I am against it.</p> <p>Leave it alone because:</p> <p>1) It's not that old</p> <p>2) That fucking shit TV series need to be bleached from our brain</p> <p>3) Too many damn "out for revenge" type movies have been made lately - it'll just end up in the same catagory for a lot of people and get ignored (Punisher/Max Payne etc..) And how many times can you do the "crow brings back person, person gets revenge" without it becoming stale and repetative?</p> <p>4) O'barr's original work was great in a lot of ways. One, it wasn't overused and two, it had an emotional connection to it (it being related to him using the comic to deal with the death of a loved one). The same with the movie, the emotional connection dealing with Brandon Lee's death made it special for people.... Everything after that was just cashing in on the original (comic/movie). The movies sucked... the first few books were OK... but then it was just the same story painted differently...</p> <p>LEAVE ALONE YOU ASSHOLES!</p> <p>I have the best idea for another Crow movie: How about the story be about a bunch of soul-less movie execs planning to remake The Crow and Brandon Lee comes back and kills them.</p>
<p>I'm confused. Why is The Shining a holiday flick? Because there's snow at the end?</p>
<p>Yes - but what if the movie sucks? Won't that just piss of some long off culture and make them want to come wipe us out?</p> <p>Secondly, how are the studios, actors etc going to make their money off of the interstellar transmissions? I see another strike coming over this.</p>
<p>dbrock - I am sure this is #1 of at least 4 incarnations of this DVD (whether blu-ray or not). This is the "let's cash in for x-mas" edition and they'll at least be 1other for the "buy the Trilogy" edition once the 3rd one comes out.... The extra Heath will be down the line I'm sure if it's not in this version.</p>
<p>The flashes I saw look cool - but that's all they were... flashes. I'm not going to bash or praise just yet. Come on Hobbs - we had flying machines in previous Terminators - why because we saw a hulking thing with legs it's automatically a transformer? That's a bit of a generalization. (robot = Transformer) </p> <p>Sgt - the show has flashes of OK - but really - do you think that any storyline with John Connor is any good? The whole teenage angst thing? 1 show he's responsible and the next acting like an idiot and from week to week it goes back and forth? 1 week his girlfriend is getting shot at in mexico and the next she's inviting John to a paartaah and acting like "what's the big deal?" I'm not a complete hater because it from time to time shows potential.</p> <p> I'm with you on Bale and hoping McG proves the naysayers (me being on the fence about him) wrong. I again invoke the "We Are Marshall" defense and say he did a good job with that movie so I hold to that hope.</p>
<p>No way Miner - Burton wouldn't keep casting the same people again and again and keep using the same composer with the same music theme. NO WAY. He won't cast HBC as the lead even though she cant sing for shi... oops, wait, nevermind.</p>
<p>shysun - that stereotype isn't acceptable either - but in this case it isn't specifically about trailer trash and a stereotype - it's about the fact that Zombie's ideas are limited to using that idea in every movie he makes.</p> <p>Why not just let MM run around in a trailer park for the sequel - that way Zombie will be satified - but let's not forget that we have to work in MM flashbacks to his childhood to SherieMoonZombie can get her obligatory billing/$.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
<p>WOW! $40 - that's pricey! I think the answer is "we're charging it because we can". That movie is awesome but I can't bear to pay $40 for 1 movie, no matter how good it looks... If that is the trend for every restored B/W classic then it's going to be loooong time before a lot of them get restored... $40 for Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein?</p> <p>Until blu-ray takes over for standard DVDs this will be the trend: overcharge for blu-ray. I am VERY picky about what I buy on blu-ray considering that 1) I don't need to see comedies in HD really. 2) In the next few years the price will drop as more blu-ray players are consumed by the masses. I bought Ironman on black friday from Amazon for 14.99 - until that's the standard (or around there) I am not re-buying my whole collection or even close to that....So, I'm only a 1/2 mindless movie consumer right?</p> <p> </p>

<p>Only thing is monkeyfoot - it's not a continuation, it's a retelling of the SAME story. If they remade Superman1 and kept essentially the same story without deviation you'd more than likely go - WTF was the point ?(Like the Psycho remake) With supe there are going to be things that don't change (how he was raised) but after the origin there is a bit of freedom about the direction you go.<br /> With the original Crow story the meat of the story isn't going to change much - and then if it does people will balk anyway. Do we really need to see another actor say the same lines etc.. And really - there are some lines/scenes in that movie(from the book) you can't do without. If you want to make another Crow story - then have it. I agree with the poster (sorry - writing and I can't go back) who wrote about the American Indian Crow - that would be fine, but they are telling going to tell the Brandon Lee/Eric Draven version again... Not necessary.</p /> <p>And as far as remakes and "letting them make it and then see". Seriously, except for a handful of movies (The Thing being the one that stands out for me since it's my all time favorite.. and yes, it's not exactly a remake I know). How many really GOOD remakes have there been as of late? And not just "well I thought it was OK"...<br /> I bet most people can list more BAD uneccessary remakes than good. Most are studio mastubatory bullshit.</p /> <p> </p>
