In April of 2024, I read the complete graphic novel for The Crow. It's been a while, but I wanted to watch this movie. We'd been busy around here, and I wanted to see if my husband would be willing to watch it with me.
Eric and Shelly are murdered on Devil's Night, the chaotic evening before Halloween. A year later, Eric emerges from his grave and tracks down those responsible for the murders. It all builds to a showdown near the cemetery between Top Dollar and Eric.
I did enjoy this movie, and the end made me teary eyed. The necessary changes made to the plot were understandable, and the death of Brandon Lee looms over the film to those who know about it while watching. I found it sad the accident made James O'Barr regret writing the comic in the first place. It's a beautiful story, and it's more than a story of revenge.
The character of Sarah is an expanded minor character from the comic, Sherri. I really liked her in the movie. Most of the time, I'm not a fan of huge changes, but this one was different. Sarah had a spicy attitude, and her interactions with Eric were so sweet.
There are times when you can tell this is a movie from the 90s, but overall the movie is really good. I would watch it again, and it easily earns a Good Movie! review.
RIP Brandon Lee
