While The Crow 2024 tries to capture the essence of its 1994 predecessor, it falls short of achieving the same masterpiece status. One of the standout characters, Bill, was likable enough, but his portrayal felt somewhat off due to his overabundance of tattoos. It made him look more like a stereotypical gangster, which seemed unnecessary for his character. Perhaps this aesthetic choice was intended to resonate with a younger generation, but it felt a bit forced and disconnected from the deeper, gothic nature of The Crow universe.
The film overall was "okay," delivering solid action and visuals, but it lacked the emotional depth and darkness that made the 1994 version so iconic. The original Crow was more than just a revenge story—it had a haunting beauty, and Brandon Lee’s performance gave it a lasting emotional weight that this new version simply couldn’t match.
While fans of the original may find some nostalgic moments, The Crow 2024 ultimately feels like a modern rehash that doesn’t quite live up to the brilliance of its predecessor. It’s worth a watch, but don’t expect it to leave the same lasting impact.
