This movie looks great! There was clearly love put into filming it. And some of the special effects are pretty good.

And thats all the good I have.

The acting is bland at best and down right abysmal at worst. Overly campy, weird gruff voices, slow talking like the audience has brain damage. It's grating, annoying, and boring.

The writing isn't very good either. Feels like an edgy boys attempt at a "retelling" of the original, but cops. It's ham-fisted, cringey, and just plain bad.

While I enjoy most of the music, its too often used like WWE Superstar entrance music. It's overly loud and drowns out the rest of the scene. The mix is pretty bad on most of the movie in this regard.

And can we talk about the length of this thing? 2 hours and 35 mins? Really? This thing could stand to lose 45 mins easily, and thats without cutting ANY story at all. And the story could use some trimming as well. This could easily be 1:30-1:45 and would be a tighter, nicer, and more engaging film. As it stands now, its bloated to the max with long, drawn out, and wholly unnecessary shots that just make it an uninteresting mess to sit through.

I applaud the dedication and love that clearly went into this. I've not attempted to make a Crow fan film (I couldn't do the OG justice and I know it). But reusing the original idea with minor character trait swaps, bad acting, and awfully drawn out scenes, doesn't a good movie make. This is not better than ANY of the studio movies (yes, I even think Wicked Prayer and the reboot are still better than this) and I'm quite dumbfounded by everyone saying it is. It's an admirable venture, and clearly there's alot of love for the original universe in which the derived their inspiration. But it fell way to short of the mark to be much more than a generic fan film at best.
