As always, not quite as bad as the headline suggests.
In a new profile in Esquire, Bill Skarsgård said that the ending of The Crow is far from satisfying, declaring, “I personally preferred something more definitive.” This would suggest that Rupert Sanders’ movie teases something more open-ended, quite possibly attempting to set up a sequel to fully reboot the franchise. Did Sanders not see the other Crow movies…?
Similar to how I feel. I’m sure Skarsgard will be great. I also think the remake is unnecessary and is almost certain to come very far from matching the quality of the first.
Also, if they don’t nail the soundtrack, the whole movie is a failure. That soundtrack practically shaped my musical tastes and I still listen to many songs on it.
That’s an impossible task as the original soundtrack came together at the right time to create one of the best of all times. Anything they do will sound like they are trying to hard or not hard enough and the whole musical landscape is different.
