The first Crow movie was not made for a certain audience IMO, it was not intentionally for goths, nerds or that particular generation; it was a piece of art that was so good a LOT of people loved it. The city and ambience even I can say is its own character. And I think that's the problem with today's movies, they target a particular group of audiences instead of making something with heart, soul and most importantly art. Love you review BTW, and you are right; it's not for us but for the generation tiktok.

As an elder goth, I am very much in the "Not MY Crow" camp. I love the original and I even love the second crow movie "City of Angels" because it's visually stunning and has great characters. I agree with the person who commented that they should have used any other names than Eric and Shelley. Then it could have just been a Crow story, not THE Crow...nobody beats Brandon, so why try?

I’m not feeling this one, the original crow was much closer to the comic. From what I’ve seen in this trailer it’s to far removed from the source material

Shelly was neither random nor 1 dimensional in the original. The reason they were attacked was she was leading the people in the building to block them being evicted. She was leading the charge against a corporation. That's a strong woman.

Yes and no they gave her some back story about why she was killed but her character really leaves no impact in that OG movie beyond visuals and feeling bad for her because she's a woman who was raped and killed. In thia trailer they are definitely trying to make her more of a character and give her more development on screen time to evolve. The original works because of the gothic atmosphere and Brandon's charisma. This one is going more for the brutality of the comic in the comic the Crow is a darker more brutal character they casted Lee because of his on screen charisma to make you relate to the character more and root for him more. This Crow looks more brutal and harder edge with the violence more like the Crow meets John Wick. This approach can work and can make an entertaining movie but will lack that more dramatic deeper feel of the OG. Overall the trailer looks good enough for a trailer and will probably be entertaining enough.

People once believed that Hollywood was where epic stories originated, that when you sat down in a theater your soul would be carried to a land of wonder and dreams. But sometimes, something so bad happens to the stories you love that a terrible sadness is carried with it and your soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, only the original film can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right. If the movies we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving the originals. Box offices burn, franchises die, but real love is forever. RIP BL/ED.

The hill I have ALWAYS said I would fall upon my sword on is that if you want to make a new Crow movie, have at JUST LEAVE DRAVEN alone. O’Barr never intended the graphic novel to be anything other than a one off story, the catharsis of his own pain. Then Lee died during filming (which is why the original movie isn’t as true to the source material; they had a ton of scenes still left to film and subsequently had to cobble together what they did at the urgence of the Lee family and his fiancée Eliza who pushed Proyas to complete the film when he and the crew weren’t going to) and when Lee died, O’Barr decided to make the source material an anthology series SPECIFICALLY to insulate Draven as Brandon’s character. When the idea of rebooting it emerged, O’Barr was on board so long as they kept the reboot to the original source material. He pointed out numerous times that the GN didn’t designate last names, so they could do and Eric & Shelly that aligned with the GN without infringing on the original movie the same way that Dracula has both a Bela Lugosi version and. Francis Ford Coppola version. This trailer, I mean, this might be a great chapter in the Crow franchise BUT NOT A SINGLE THING is from the original source material (like Sanders keeps trying to say they were using) and this is NOT DRAVEN. Yes, I will die on this hill.

I watched the first movie when it was in theaters and I am definitely in agreement that this remake was not designed for Millennials and X'ers. I am on the X'er side of the Xennial cusp. Everything was amazing about the old movie, including the film score and the soundtrack. I am sure some in Gen Z are going to like the new film, but I am far more excited to get my Amazon and Walmart 4K Steelbook editions of The Crow '94 this coming May. I am still very much on the fence if I want to see this new film or not.

I really liked your breakdown here! I actually think it came off better than I expected, but still nothing too great. I was 17 when the 94 film hit, and I've loved it ever since, but you two are correct. This isn't really a film for us folks, and I can accept that. I mean, there were fans of the Burton Batman that never accepted the Nolan films, so it's just part of that gap between ages. As far as the name and the characters, I believe the rights were about to lapse, so the studio had to make a 'Crow' film or lose them. I liked that it looks like it'll be more violent, like the graphic novels were, but this is definitely a more action/gamer type take.

Can you really argue that they're making these movies for those generations though when those generations just blatantly don't show up to watch these movies. Like all the marvel movies they keep making Gen z and Gen alpha don't actually watch those

" No one is making movies for us anymore." You're absolutely right. We're old now. 🌑🌑🌑

The new crow looks like he smells like a turtle tank

Lads, enough with the joker stuff.This look is from one of The Crow storylines in the comics. Early 2000 if I remember correctly. Which pre-dates everything joker related. If I'm not mistaken, Eric wasn't the protagonist in that storyline. But the look is there. And it's very, very O'Barr.

The original would’ve been made for a wide audience too. You could say that the original wasn’t made for goths and metalheads because they wanted everyone to see it back then and of course make money

"Looks like he'd be asking me for a cigarette". lmfao!! I'm still laughing at this! I'm a meh right now too. Not sure. Nothing can compare to the music in the original too. I love the comic and the artwork, and movies can certainly do comics now. But unfortunately, this looks too Hollywoodized. Movies try to be dark today, but I feel like they just can't.

It's definitely not my Crow but I'd watch a review video if you guys did one. 🖤💀

One of the most loved songs by myself, aside the cure´s one (obviously) was "color me once", by Violent femmes.

He mostly just reminds me of DMC's version of Dante (Devil May Cry 2013). Honestly, they should just add a subtitle to the title so that it's not just called the Crow 2024.

I recommended your channel after watching The Crow trailer and had to come by to say how beautiful you two are. I was just really taken by your whole vibe. In regards to The Crow, I remember it constantly being on TV and seeing the VHS, but I never just sat down and watched it from beginning to end when I was kid. I remember liking Brandon and the aesthetic. When I saw this trailer, Bill's look gave me immediate Leto Joker vibes and no one wants to be reminded of that. Since I am not deeply attached to the OG, I will give this one a chance because of the concept, but I do wish it gave more of the original's aesthetic. (Side note: I started typing all of this before finishing the videoa and you basically said all of the same things, so yeah. LOL.)

Kinda feels like he is channeling his pennywise role

You two are far too wholesome and kind. Bless you.

I rather stay with the original 😅

The crow comics had so many individuals turning into the crow, from Eric Draven, iris shawn (former fbi who was pregnant when she died), the nameless man(jewish man turned into a crow in a concentration camp), Carrie (six year old who goes a detective to solve her murder), but no. They had to recycle the most iconic they got ... For... Reasons? He looks like Sad Ninja from Die Antword... This... Makes City of Angels and Salvation look kinda good. I feel like this remake doesn't got atmosphere, doesn't feel like a grungy city, doesn't feels like a gothic punk story. And no, this movie looks bad but not as bad as Wicked Prayer, no one can save that crow movie

As a commentor said below yes a man lost his fiancé and to deal with the loss he wrote this story. The visuals in the original were amazing, but the to me the writing was just as amazing. Lessons that were taught through short dialog. "Each one of these is a life you helped destroy" Talking about the rings on the pawn shop owner. Nothing is trivial..yes the trivial things in a relationship matter. The little things you do for each other. My mother loved the little things like helping her with chores, making her cup of coffee. My mother letting my dad get a few more hours of sleep when he worked 15 hour shift, making him dinner even though he didn't ask her to. "Mother is the word of God on the lips hearts of all children." Just this line alone is powerful. Yes, Brandon nailed it..between avenging angel and compassionate and loving man. The way he held and talked to Sarah was showing the great father he would have made to her. Overall, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Truly a masterpiece. Also, the whole concept of the difference between how Eric is portrayed. Brandon already nailed it. From costume to his demeanor. I think Bill is amazing actor, but it just feels off. RIP Brandon Lee. I will say I don't think they should remake it as this movie as original stands the test of time and since Brandon passed on this set. It feels well wrong. But that is just my opinion it just feels distasteful.

Time doesn't make it easier. The comic gave glimpses into what may appear to be small, simple moments between a couple to others, but they are far from small and simple to that couple. For them, those moments were precious, irreplaceable. Because they were experiencing life with each other, with the person who was their entire world and made life worth living.

I have to say your makeup(both) is so on point I'm so jealous how cool you look . Conor you give me inspiration even as a 50yr old male goth! I just wish I could do makeup as good as you

It looks like if the crow was made my marvel

The hair and tattoos. Its just not The Crow. He should have had longer hair and the white and black face makeup. The antagonist isn't even scary, just looks like an old sad man. It shouldn't have been Eric and Shelly. They could have just picked another random couple.

Your reactions and feelings about the movie reboot are refreshingly mature. 🤔

he looks like a Florida joker. The original impacted my childhood. I remember being in awe of Brandon lee

What ever happens this movie can't be any worse then The Crow Wicked Prayer with Edward Furlong.

The 2016 blu ray release is a 4k remaster downsampled to 1080p (for some reason). That's the one we saw. It looks amazing. But you're probably better off waiting as the 30th anniversary blu ray is out soon and is a 4k remaster of the original film supervised by the original DP and will be full 4k resolution! Comes out May 7th!

@@RandomGothCouple Thanks for the info! Im now officially hyped and putting this on my calendar ✨

How am i now just coming across your channel. Yall both look awesome and love yalls videos 🔥😈🔥

Just saw the 90’s The Crow for the first time the other day. Absolutely loved it. I’m definitely going to see this one too and won’t be comparing it to the original because its not going to be comparable to the classic. It seems like it’s taking the story and retelling it in a way geared towards a younger audience like you mentioned. Also I heard that this interpretation may be based off of a specific The Crow comic?

I'm 18th,seen The Crow few years ago and instantly that was one of my favourite movies and characters,later I based my character look of him in one game and that was first time I even saw word goth,so when I see this trailer I'm just sad that we're going to get one more OK forgettable movie based of amazing character.

I made an OK short film of The Crow back in 1991, a year or so before the Brandon Lee classic came out.

your final thoughts are pretty interesting, its good that you both can look at it from a unaltered biased lense and still potentially enjoy it, i dont' think ill go to see it personally but i do hope they arent completely put off making anymore Crow movies because i would love to see the other protagonists, a few of them sound really interesting but i can imagine they will see the reception and ticket sales and not touch this universe which is sad because its a great one that deserves more attention and more chances to be as good as the original movie.

also.. CGI BLOOD? nah!.

#not my crow but if someone else is paying I would see it or if it comes on Netflix just like I did with Jared Leto's Morbius or whatever I watched it to roast it and it did not disappoint. I wish they had stopped after the first crow I know James O' Barr wants nothing to do with the sequels and I have seen them.

O'Barr was on board with the remake until he wasn't. "That reboot thing has been going on for almost 12 years now with different studios trying to make it. To me, it’s not necessary," -James O'Barr, 2020

I mean, Eric Draven is essentially James O'Barr's self-insert and outlet for his grief over his late fiance. I feel like there should be something kept sacred about that, as well as Brandon's own tragic death while on set, and that the first film was sufficient in breathing life into the comic. Granted, even the '94 film gave some connection as to how and why Eric and Shelly died, but what made the torture and deaths of O'Barr's Eric and Shelly both so horrible and horrifying for me was precisely how random and thoughtless it was. Bestial and cruel for cruelty's sake on a completely innocent and vulnerable couple minding their own damn business in the wrong place at the wrong time. Returning from a honeymoon, Eric and Shelly were lovers who connected and comforted each other in a way no one else could. They were each other's rock and sanctuary, much like O'Barr and his late fiance. It was wholesome as hell, which only amplified its ultimate tragedy. I feel like the Crow is a story of love and lament above all. Perhaps if Skarsgard was a completely different Crow, like Alex from Salvation, or Ashe from City of Angels, I'd feel better about it. I can get behind Crows inhabiting different restless souls as opposed to the one. It adds a world-building mysticism to it. But Skarsgard just isn't James' Eric to me. Just at first glance, Bill's completely misses the very intentional influences that musicians like Iggy Pop and Peter Murphy had on Eric's appearance that the design team wonderfully adapted through Brandon. Hopefully James will still benefit from the royalties of it, at the very least.

I’m glad you guys recognized Ozzy! First reactors I’ve come across that mentioned it

Oh gosh the new the crow trailer 😭

I really wish I could go back in time 5 minutes ago, when I still didn't know this existed... how can I unsee this trailer?

You guys should remake The Crow. You are smart, your make-up knowledge is obviously amazingly deep (your face paint look uber-cool) and you are the nicest couple.

I'm fully #not my crow. I saw,own and love the 90s crow. I appreciate what they are trying to give the younger generation, but as a 90s goth and beyond I don't believe I'll go and see. Would be nice to here your take on it after it comes out. Love you guys and many dark blessings! 🖤

I bet this script was originally a generic action/revenge movie. But the studios or producers had the bright idea to slap the crow on it for the existing audience.

Exactly. I think they went to catalog and looked at what movie title they need to revamp and chose the crow

Even though I like generic action films, they shouldn't have made the crow like that 😂. I liked the emotional aspects it brought.

This man's makeup is on point! They shouldve hired this dude instead whoever they hired for this movie 😂

Your video was my first exposure to the trailer so I first watched it through your eyes and then my own. The two of you gave such great perspectives of it. Connor, I completely agree with everything you said. It’s just not the crow that we know and see as a gothic movie. Lynn your perspective is so on point in seeing this as a completely new story. I personally would need to let go of watching this from the lens of what we know and love and see it as a completely separate thing.. I’m with you Connor, Eric could have at least have long black hair..

I've been watching reaction videos to for this trailer and the best perspective by far has been yours. "This was not made for us" might be the best way to go about this movie. We had ours and like Heath Ledgers Joker, no one will top or replace Brandon Lee's Eric Draven. There should be an asterisk when talking about both movies, Crow 2024 vs Original Crow. This movies looks to be inspired by too many other movies- John Wick, The Dark Knight, Suicide Squad, you can even sprinkle a little of Constantine with the supernatural elements. What's funny is that after watching your reaction in the future whenever I hear 2024 Eric Draven speak all I'm gonna hear is Jared Leto's Joker. 😂

i love how people are bashing this movie when they clearly never seen any of the sequels. those were WAAAAYY worst then this, i full support this. Compared to the sequels, THIS LOOKS LIKE A MASTERPIECE. and no im not comparing this to the original movie, but rather the REAL original crow, the Comic series. plus outside of Deadpool 3, this is really the only NON Marvel Comic book movie this year. also the make up part, for one it looks a bit closer to the comics and atleast we have some kind of explanation for it, rather then him randomly putting making up on in the original movie

The guy who wrote the comic wrote it about his real life. And he liked the original movie. He knew everyone involved with it. He is not involved with this one at all. So yeah, I am going to compare this to the original. It looks bad. The other movies are also bad. I can crap on them all.

@@1faithchick7 so you’re gonna compare it as if the original creator was apart of it even though he’s not 😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Something is really wrong with people like you

The way I clicked on this so fast.😂😂 Me, and everyone I talk to about this gets the same Suicide Squad Joker vibes, I'm still going to see it, but I'm going to pretend it has no offilliation with the original to protect my sanity lol.

I expected to see a "Dune: Part Two" review on this channel. Geidi Prime has so much more goth going on: The Giger influences in the architecture, the scenes filmed in infrared, the techno vinyl and plasteel costumes (and spider woman in the first film), the black goo and the white skin and the black teeth. Oh, and the music! Lots more happening with the music than the desert themes. The piece that plays during Lady Fenring's hypnotic stroll through the castle? So atmospheric! It's the Addams Family sequel that completes the saga. I never anticipated getting answer to the question: "If Uncle Fester ruled an industrial planet thousands of years in the future, what sort of fireworks would he deploy for Pugsley's birthday?"

The Crow City of Angels: "I was afraid the movie would be better than me"! 😭😭😭

City of Angels was pretty good.
