Like most of the new shit, you don't talk about the movie. You might discuss a couple of scenes that were notable. There were a couple in this where the cinematography/choreography were pretty cool, e.g., the scene where Eric storms the opera, but the negatives far outweigh the positives. Off the top of my head:
Shelly's character (the main female) is played by a mystery meat blackish chick who looks legitimately retarded. Between the buck teeth, droopy eyes, and lips that look like a cleft-repair, it was honestly hard to look at her. By half-way through the film, you get used to her, but during the first half, I found myself actually yelling out loud: "Are you fucking serious?" Only in the third decade of the 2000s would this woman ever dream of being cast as a lead. A dog wouldn't piss on this girl if she was painted red.
Eric's character (played by Bill Skarsgard) has this really annoying aesthetic. It's like Elton John meets a frat boy. He is extremely effeminate. It is barely believable when he begins kicking ass, even after he was given some deal by God to become a badass in exchange for his soul going to hell (yes, this is really an aspect of the plot).
The original Crow had a really great noir/gothic thing going on that they completely fail to capture in this one.
In the original, Eric was the lead singer and guitarist for a rock band. His wife was a gorgeous white girl whose own personal story played barely any role in the plot. It was enough to see the way Eric (played by Brandon Lee) acted to learn everything we needed to know about her. In this one, the blackish retard girl has a much bigger role (of course).
The Eric in the new one is a psychiatric patient who busts out of the asylum because he falls in love with the blackish retard.
In the original, the writers knew what not to show. We don't know exactly what is going on "behind the scenes" of the world; you don't see much that is supernatural other than Eric's invincibility. The new one starts right out with a fucking demon-possessed elite guy, who we find out made some deal with the devil in exchange for sending innocent souls to hell, to live indefinitely. It's over-the-top from the get-go. Not only that, but when Eric dies, you see him enter this weird industrial limbo where a nigger playing the Virgil-like role of a guide is there to deliver God's messages. The original film contained nothing about heaven or hell.
Overall, Eric seems like a helpless sack of an emo faggot who would just as soon get ass raped to save his nigger-retard girl if not for God giving him powers like dad assigning house chores.
Let me add my say to this: it helps you keep sane and begin to disassociate from the sickness in society if you don't guzzle the jew cum from the tv.
Like when people take a break from the internet/tech for a week, only forever for jew's primary propaganda tool.
That being said I still read older books with less of the commie bullshit in them(there's always some). It's interesting to go through a book I read as a young lad and see just how hard they push globohomo, though I remember none of that in it.

The original was a cheesy movie, but for me, it was the good kind. Today, nobody can manage to make you care about a single character they write. It's like whoever is writing this shit has no humanity at all to draw from as inspiration.
Imagine consuming the electric jew at all. Yesterday after work I went on a 10 mile bike ride with my kid, cooked a healthy dinner, helped my kid with his homework and then sent him outside to play with his friends, played guitar for a couple hours, did some laundry and went to bed.

The completely missed the point of the original - 'They forgot that Eric Draven is supposed to be a good man, and that the good people still left in the city are critical to the story. The cop who still hasn't given up on the city despite how bad things have gotten, the little girl who just wants her mother back, when the movie is over you are left knowing that these characters will have better lives thanks to Eric. As the movie says: "It can't rain all the time," the rain represents the misery of the city and when the movie ends, so has the rain. I hate when people think of the movie as just being about an edgy goth superhero, and overlook how hopeful the movie truly is.'

Great point. The whole premise is based on the restoration of some more ultimate justice; in order to have that, you need The Good. The reboot never makes you feel as if there is any ultimate goodness; even God in the reboot seems like a kind of fickle, aloof presence. The 'new' Eric never seems like a hero in any way, shape, or form. He is, at best, a guy who is motivated by a short-term infatuation. Their meek efforts to make us care about Eric and Shelly don't succeed. You never feel a genuine love between the two of them. Again, it seems like escapism, and this is probably the ultimate failure of the film. A 'divine' revenge makes sense for the sake of love, but not for drug-addled lust.
I actually never watched the original movie. I know a lot of people think its a great movie. It always looked kinda dark and nihilistic for my taste.
I just watched the trailer for the new one. It also looks dark and nihilistic but also degenerate.
Every fucking thing out of Hollywood is edgy and nihilistic. Why do I need to be demoralized further by watching this garbage? Real life is already to edgy and nihilistic.
HEROES CAN HAVE FACE TATTOOS!
Not in my book.
The female lead is “Twigs”, an arty singer who has fucked some famous actors.
The original is dark, but it's a different darkness than today's darkness. There is a lot of light to it. It's sort of campy even, but it has become a favorite of mine in spite of that. It's a satisfying revenge movie with a cool premise, a 90s sensibility for writing/casting, and an excellent villain. I would recommend. It doesn't bring you down like today's actually dark shit does, which so often comes in "light" packaging. It's hard to explain, but it is absolutely nihilistic.
Twigs sounds truly charming. I looked at her Insta page for all of 10 seconds before I thought: Satanic bitch.
I stopped watching a lot of movies, i might check out beatlejuice but watching the youtube videos ragging on these shit films are more entertaining than the films themselves.

He uses his powers to drain the drugs out of the woman's veins to send her back to her daughter. It really was an anti-drug movie. The first third of the new film is basically the two main characters feeding each other pills between fuck sessions.

There are already sequels to the original that take place around completely different people becoming “the crow”.
