I had bought this with the original THE CROW & THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER. I watched this last night in bed and I really enjoyed it. Its not as bad as people are making out. I admit the make up isn't as good as the original but it still does the job. This was a straight to DVD film so its not going to be that well known or well received but its still a good film in its own right.
Kirsten Dunst (Spider Man) and Eric Mabius (Cruel Intentions) star in The Crow: Salvation - the third film in The Crow series. Wrongfully executed for the murder of his girlfriend, Alex Corvis (Mabius) returns from the dead and sets out to find the real killer. Aided by his girlfriend's sister (Dunst)... and under the guidance of the mysterious crow he unmasks a tangled web of corruption and deceit. Alex seeks not only retribution for his injustice, but redemption for the darkness in his soul.
The Crow: Salvation is better then I expected. Although the straight to DVD feel is apparent during the action scenes. Salvation is a very good sequel in The Crow series.
The violence of course is bloody and gory but this time it actually feels justified like the first time with Eric. Alex uses his healing powers more then they did in the other Crow films, either from actual need to heal or just to be playful. A common aspect in The Crow films seems to be each hero is shot several times by several eople and they then look on in amazement as they die by the hero's hands.
The acting was decent but nothing mind blowing. Mabius seemed to be having more fun doing the action scenes then the heart felt scenes and it shows. Kirsten Dunst is good in her role but everyone else isn't (apart from Mabius).... Read more ›

Well - the second film was clearly in no way as good as the first which it attempted to be a carbon copy of. This one, Salvation, puts a twist into it with the murder-mystery element of it and that is good - it saves the film from being another wannabe despite the constraints of O'Barr's Crow universe meaning that this film must be a revenge film. The plot has a little more to it than simply "man-rises-from-dead-and-kills-people" which could be a complaint about the first two films (though not so much the first as it was a more original idea then) Also, this film loses the long hair 'n' leather look of the first two films, which, again, is welcome to prevent it becoming somewhat of a cheesy cliche, know what I'm saying? And there is an interesting twist on the pierot make-up! The deaths of the bad guys are varied though sometimes there was a nagging feeling of, "oh whoop-di-doo, he has killed another person. I wonder how he'll slip the ol' Crow symbol in there this time" that got a bit samey.
I think the performances are more than adequate with the relationship that develops between Dunst and Mabius developing nicely - though their first meeting is a technically a touch dodgy - she doesn't recognise him?!
I would recomend this for ANY fan of The Crow - It does the books and first film justice. And for people who aren't sure about watching the first one, maybe because it looked a bit too gothy - check this one out. It is a self-contained story so you don't need to have seen that one to see this and he doesn't even look very gothy in this.

Quite simply, it sucks. The reason it nearly made me cry is just that it is so poor.
The Crow was an excellent film from an excellent director. The Crow: City Of Angels was a not-bad follow-up from a different director, but still maintained the dark, gothic appeal of the original.
The Crow: Salvation hasn't got the gothic bit, it's a lame plot with a bad dialogue and script. The cast is awful too.....they all just look stupid. It's got a few familiar faces in it, which makes it worse, the soundtrack sucks.
Picture and sound quality are good. The best bit of the film is when Kirsten Dunst get's her mouth sewn shut!
It really is only worth having if you want to collect all 3 movies, like me, but don't buy it if you're after something like The Crow, but which you haven't seen yet!

Why this movie hasn't been released in the UK is beyond me, it is brilliant, compelling, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, has great tragedy, poetic justice, action, tears, thrills, chills second only to the original The Crow movie released in 1994.
This one is about a young man executed for the murder of his dead girlfriend, but he is not the murderer, so the crow brings him back to get revenge. His only clue to his girlfriend's real murderer is that the murderer has some steel bolts inserted under the skin on his left forearm.
The Crow: Salvation introduces new twists to the Crow mythos and some very powerul performances. Ward (Tremors and Tremors 2), Mabius (Resident Evil) and Dunst (Bring It On) are fantastic, Ward easily stealing the show when he appears. The relationship that develops between Mabius and Dunst is well characterised and portrayed.
Well worth getting your hands on even if you were put off by the poor attempt known as The Crow: City of Angels. This one is true to form and shows a little more influences from the comic books that came after the success of the first movie. Truly excellent stuff.

THE CROW STILL LIVES
This was a very decent effort in my view.
Has a different storyline to the others which was fresh and I think Eric Mabius brings something different to the lead role. Read more
