Magic Marmalade 18th Jan 2024		Rated 8/10 Just go with the crow. (Can't pretend I'm not proud of myself for that review headline :) Sometimes, whether you think a movie is good or bad can simply be a question of timing... ...And so it was, and is, for me with this movie, as back at the time of release, my friends and I are into action / martial arts / superhero fans, getting into Bruce Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme and all that... maybe a dash of Batman etc. So I, for one, was more than a little disappointed with this, as it is less a martial arts action movie, more a gothic / romantic revenge thriller / drama / mood piece. (My soft little brain at the time could not compute this for what it was) ...And certainly, I'd take issue with the concept of this being a "Superhero" movie, as "The Crow" is not one, he is more a vengeful zombie angel out to avenge the wrongs done to him and his fiancé by a gang of mega-turds before the film even has begun. Rather, this is a supernatural revenge movie, framed in the brilliantly conceived concept of a wronged soul being ferried back from the dead to balance the books by a crow, his constant companion once back in the land of the living, and darkness of the city night; This is an idea that taps directly into the finest traditions of folklore and supernatural tales people may be familiar with from time immemorial. "The Crow" himself, seems, now that I rewatch after all these years, and finally "get it", to be what you would get if you smashed together The Joker and Batman into one coherent unity of character... (Maybe this is the nineties, post-Tim Burton Batman movie we should have got instead?) ... and all centred around the pangs of grief, and tragic, gothic romance worthy of a vampire movie. So it seems I now see the light (or maybe the dark?) with this one. All that remains is to mention both the brilliant score, and even more astonishing Soundtrack, featuring, among others: The Cure, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine etc. ...Not to mention this absolutely breathtaking show-stopper, over the end credits: ✔︎ Helpful Review?
