Crow, The: City of Angels - Second Coming

adrift sept 27 2008

The ultimate fan edit. Absolutely wonderful! I bought the boxset several years ago, and the second Crow film has always been a lackluster, but heartfelt adventure. This re-edit gives the Crow sequel heart and soul…
The cuts, movement of sequences, animatics, still shots, and new source music add a whole new element to this film not found in the original. It went from a shoddy D-rate Hollywood sequel to an artsy indie cult film favorite for me. That the director himself, Tim Pope, gives his approval to the re-edit speaks volumes for the dedication and talent that went into this effort.
It still has it’s flaws… Iggy, as much as I love his music, is just not that great of an actor. Some of the lines, even scripted in, are a bit corny, and the film overall can’t shake its poor production value, but Tim Pope’s true inspiration does seem to flow through with this edit despite these issues.Fans of fan edits owe it to themselves to witness what could have been.

This is a very good workprint style edit that shows what this movie could have been. Funny story but I had heard about this edit before I even know what fan edits were. I just never knew how to get it before LOL. Happy to have a different and go to version of this movie! If only the studio didn't interfere!

This is a lotbetter than the very weak original. It’s still not great, but you managed to make it a movie that did not bore the crap out of me.
