Honestly, Everyone knows that nothing is better than the first The Crow with Brandon Lee, but I actually really liked this one! Right after I bought this, we watched The Crow City of Angels, and it was not the best thing ever. Too much supernatural and unrealistic things happened in City of Angels, where as Salvation was a lot like the first. It was sort of realistic (without the whole, crow bringing human back to life thing, lol) and Salvation was very good. not better then the first and definitely not the best movie EVER but you have got to see it at least once if you have already seen the first one. Kirsten dunst is an AMAZING actress, I love her in this movie.
The acting was good for the most part, except for Ms Dunst who was outstanding. I see why she has been chosen to be in the Spiderman movies. Mr. Mabius was believable, but did not look as "troubled" and angry as he should. The make up was too ficticious. If its going to look fake it should have been painted like in the previous movies. In the "City of Angels" the scene where the makeup was applied was super fantastic, filled with an eerie surrealism that transported you to where it took place. You even felt the cold and damp environment of the place, the movie came alive. I was expecting something "larger than life" in this one but it did not happen. Make-up says a lot, and so little was said in this one. The cinematography was believable and well achieved. The color balance could have been a bit more developed. -ZorriRead full review
I was a little wary of buying this DVD after watching the horrid Crow 2! I kept remembering, so I thought, that I'd seen a Crow sequel that I really enjoyed, so I took a chance. I was glad I did! This installment takes place not in a really big city like LA or Detroit as before, but in Salt Lake City. The movie starts out with 21 year old Alex Corvis being sent to the electric chair after 3 years of failed appeals. Corvis was convicted of murdering his rich family girlfriend, stabbing her 53 times. Corvis' contention was that a man with an odd pattern scar on the inside of his forearm actually did it ala "The Fugitive." As Corvis is frying, he sees the scarred man in the gallery. An electrical storm causes a surge that horribly burns his face. After, while lying in the prison morgue, A crow awakens him. He peels away the burned dead skin to reveal the usual Crow mask, only this time it's not clown makeup, but new skin & scars that make the trademark harlequin mask. As expected, Corvis goes on a rampage to vindicate himself & find the real killers. His pursuit leads him to a band of corrupt cops & also to some very unexpected sources. His vengeful killings are as always quite imaginative & brutal, full of violence & mayhem. There is the usual weird henchwoman to the kingpin who discovers the source of Alex's power, (I really never quite understood the reason for needing this aspect?) but killing the crow is not what temporarily robs Alex of his powers. He is supposedly vindicated & made mortal again only to find out later that it was a trick. I don't really understand how this could possibly happen & it is one of the aspects of the film I don't like. The other is that, unlike the 2 previous films, Alex kills many innocents, in this case, many cops who are just trying to do their jobs. This at least confirms the old adage that "Bad cops kill good cops!" In the end, Alex destroys the bad guys/girl & saves the girl! Corvis is played by relative unknown, unless you are one of the many fans of the TV series "Ugly Betty", Eric Mabius. Mabius plays the part well being both heartwarming & chilling! We do get a couple of big name actors in this film in the form of William Atherton (best know for the 1st 2 Die Hard movies) who plays Alex's girlfriend's wealthy tycoon father & Kirsten Dunst who plays her sister. Neither has a really huge part in this film, but both end up being very pivotal to the plot. I was disappointed that Dunst did not take up the mantle of the "Grace" character from the previous movie, but after what they did with the "Sarah" character in 2 as opposed to 1, I guess I'm glad they didn't! This sequel proved to be a much better tribute to the excellent 1st film than the T&A S&M fest that was the hideous "Crow 2: City of Angels!" "Crow 3:Salvation" was just that to the series! An excellent sequel that was more befitting the the theme of the original!Read full review
This movie is almost as good as the first, story-wise. The character of Alex is right up there with Eric Draven... both played by fine actors who know how to run the gamut of emotions required for this role. Eric Mabius is not an actor I'm familiar with, but now I want to see him in other movies. Like the first two movies, alot of the secondary characters are played by very solid character actors, some that have gone on to become to quite well known in modern day television shows---like Walton Googgins and Tim DeKay. Since others have already relayed the plot details I'll spare elaborating on it any further. Suffice to say, this was a really good installment in the Crow series. I honestly believe the quote on the front of the DVD case---"The Best of the Crow sequels." Enough said there. Anyone who enjoyed the first and felt let down by the mediocre second, check out this one... the third time is definitely the charm.Read full review
In my opinion, Salvation is just as action packed as the original Crow with Brandon Lee. Same story line, where Alex Corbis is wrongfull accused of a crime and executed, only to come back to life to avenge his girlfriend's killers, in which he was wrongfully accused of. Packed full of action, yet a little hard to find. Disk I bought here plays great without flaw, exactly like new. So definitely pick up this movie if your a Crow fan!

The crow came in real good shape and was mailed to me very quickly. Thanks The Crow movie was great. I've seen this movie before but, I wanted it in my own movie library. I've watched it over and over again. The first Crow movie is the best, the second one is very good and same with the third one. But, the fourth one was bad, I didn't like it at all. Brandon Lee was the best Crow. I liked this movie because it was more of a mystery. Eric Mabius was very good also.
This Movie Was Just As Good As The Original..I Liked It Very Much...GREAT ADDITION To MY COLLECTION (A+++)
