Such a mess. I can't believe it. I'm currently writing this while still in the movie theatre. I never reach for my phone when i am at the movies. FKA Twigs was unbearable. I never wanna see her face or hear her voice ever again. Wtf was that insta love thing? They literally said 'Hi' and then they were soooo in love with eachother. Get out of here! The dialogue was as deep as the writing of a 15 year old emo girl from 2005. Trust me, i was a 15 y.o. emo girl in 2005 who would write "deep" shit like that. The whole thing with the video was so illogical. She was looking at the camera but then she asks her friend who took that video👀 Then Zadie sent it to her but by the middle of the movie they said that Shelly had the video on her phone like it was there from the beginning... But they all saw her killing that other girl and now her friends are trying to protect her? I mean... i couldn't keep up with this plotline, seriously. The editing was a bit messy too. What was the point of the piano player? Take her out of the movie and nothing would change. The diamond tattoo on Eric's face was all over the place. At times it was right below his lower eyelash, at other times it was on his cheekbone. And wtf was that ending? Did they turn back time? If they did, then all the bad guys would be alive, right? Because why would they both die? Did they overdose? I just don't see the logic. The ONLY interesting thing in this movie was shirtless Bill Skarsgard. Thank god we had plenty of this, otherwise i would have fallen asleep. 1 star for the aesthetics. 1 star because Bill's hot. 1 star because im generous. That equals 3 stars from me. Thank you for your attention!

40 minutes to establish a half-assed love story. 70 minutes until The Crow actually starts crowing. One John Wick fight scene later and credits roll.

It's lacking that B-movie charm of the original. I think the script sort of gets it, because the dialogue is often cliché and unintentionally funny, much like the original. However, the cracks quickly start to appear once you dig past that. Apparently screenwriters still haven't figured out that excessive cussing often has the opposite intended effect on the viewer. Structurally, it focusses on the wrong things and overcomplicates a simple, streamlined story. In the beginning we're spending way too much time with these two main characters who have no personality, nor do the actors show a hint of chemistry. The editing can sometimes feel choppy (it often feels like entire scenes have been removed in order to cut this down to the bone), but generally the first half is still mostly a slog. Once it finally turns into the revenge story we all know, it becomes more eventful but I wouldn't say any of the action is particularly well executed, memorable or even original. For example, the scene that intercuts between the opera performance and Eric killing a bunch of folks clearly owes a huge debt to _Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation_. On top of that the villain's not interesting, the acting generally sucks and aesthetically it feels like a cringy mallcore emo version of _The Batman_ (some very similar lighting and use of distorted lenses). The look Alex Proyas came up with for the original was clearly rooted in the goth and industrial culture of the time, this feels very childish and like it's trying way too hard by comparison. Bill Skarsgard and some of the sets look like they belong in David Ayer's _Suicide Squad_. The soundtrack's quite good though, very distinct from the original but the choices all fit the tone. I wouldn't say this movie exactly deserves Joy Division, but at least it kept this from being the absolute worst release of the year. 1.5/10

Wow, there was not a thing I enjoyed about this film. Plot made no sense, poor editing, bad music, characters had no chemistry. We get a classical music loving villain whose superpower is mumbling in people’s ears, a hero whose healing powers come and go with his indecisiveness about true love. That true love is a girl he met in rehab and now bond over their love for drugs, sex, and alcohol. Avoid this one because it’s quite bad.

Movie is quite good unlike those reviews
