The new version of The Crow deepens the romance and enhances the violence, resulting in a generic and plodding revenge thriller that fails to justify its resurrection.
Rather than a simple revenge narrative, the reboot concocts a scattershot tale that is more confusing than coherent, straying far from the clarity of the original.
Originally, The Crow's appeal lay in its moody tone and straightforward premise; the new film's complex story only dilutes the essence that made it a cult classic.
Directorial decisions by Rupert Sanders focus on spectacle and action, which fail to capture the introspective tragedy and dark romance that characterized the original film.
