All I can say is if you aren't able to separate it from the original and watch it for what it is then you might not enjoy it. Nothing will ever top the original one in my opinion it's just the best hands down. As soon as the movie started I realized I'd have to take it for basically being a whole new The Crow, and it's not a bad thing I really enjoyed it but if you aren't able to separate it from the original you probably won't enjoy it as much. But I definitely enjoyed it and would recommend seeing it.
