The Crow: Salvation adds nothing new to the series and is plagued by bad acting and dialogue.

After the sequel where Iggy Pop gave the best performance, they struck out again. Bland, boring and wasteful of Walton Goggins and Fred Ward's time.

After the legendary success of the first Crow film and the modest sequel, the powers that be made another sequel, only they decided to forgo a decent theatrical run and decided to release this straight-to-home video. Fans of the previous film felt shafted and believed that this film was sabotaged. I got to say that I agree because even though there are no characters from the previous films and the style of the movie feels different, it is still a decent movie loyal to the franchise. Alex Corvis is a death row inmate approaching his eighteenth birthday, his date of execution, for the murder of his girlfriend. But to his last breath, he declares his innocence, that he loved his girlfriend and that some man had attacked him and planted the murder weapon in his car, the man with a distinctive scarred arm. He is executed but by the same miracle of the previous movies, a crow imbued with divine power resurrects Alex and sets him on a path of revenge against the men who murdered his girlfriend and had him executed. I have to say that the style of the film is different, but I do believe it is deserving of its place in the Crow film series. Eric Mabius does a superb job in the role of the Crow. He does not have the look of the previous Crow actors, but he makes his version of the Crow work. Scarring from the mask at his electrocution giving him the trademark black lips and eyes. Instead of the rock star or mechanic look he wears a gray prison jumpsuit and instead of a leather jacket he dons a black fur coat. Jodi Lynn O'Keefe is marvelous as the beautiful Lauren Randall. Kirsten Dunst is amazing in an era she was at her peak as Erin Randall, the sister of the slain Lauren, who initially believed that Alex killed her sister but believes otherwise as he returns from the dead. As well as an amazing assortment of actors playing the villains of the story from Vincent Erlich, Bill Mondy, Tim DeKay, William Atherton, and Fred Ward. Truly this deserved a full-blown theatrical release, and it is a shame that the studio had such a narrow vision.

Il n'y avait aucune raison pour The Crow Salvation d'être un film acceptable. Deuxième suite et donc deuxième soi-disante copie du film originel d'Alex Proyas, The Crow Salvation souffrait en plus d'abandonner le côté punk des deux précédents pour un côté plus réaliste, avec des flics corrompus et un acteur beaucoup plus mauvais que les deux précédents, l'effroyable Eric Mabius. Et pourtant, le film de Bharat Nalluri est un B-movie parfaitement satisfaisant, tout à fait conscient de ses forces et faiblesses et qui en tire le maximum pour livrer un divertissement bien meilleur que ce qu'il devrait être. Walton Goggins et Fred Ward en font des tonnes, les exécutions sont bien filmées et le tout finit avant son quart d'heure de bienvenue : The Crow Salvation est le digne héritier de son âiné.

A pleasingly low-budget demeanor.

Gone With The Twins

In addition to the repetition, which is surely what fans are looking for anyway, this third outing suffers routinely from subpar acting.

Rated: 3/10

The best you can say about 2000's The Crow: Salvation is that it's not a shameless rehash of the first movie. Oh sure, it's still unwatchable in every possible way, but at least it's working with a new and original plot.
