Even for teens hooked on the grandiloquence of death-metal masochism, the movie may seem closer to an endless Sunday in church.

Utterly devoid of energy and shock value.

Fans of both O'Barr's source inspiration and Brandon Lee's initial embodiment may want to nit-pick, but this Crow has something to crow about.

Stunningly awful.

Keith Simanton Film.com (Top Critic)

It verges on the misanthropic and necrophiliac; more in love with the absence of characters, their demise, than with flesh and blood.

Little more than a subpar remake of the first outing.

Jack Mathews Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

The city of overacting, the city of bad writing and the city of truly dreadful sequels.

Memo to Edward R. Pressman: Gloomy Goth teens like the Romeo and Juliet stuff, not parental devotion from beyond the grave.

Although the setting has moved from Detroit to LA, the stylised urban wasteland, morbid atmosphere and basic plot remain the same.

Vincent Perez is game, but he--nor anyone involved in this sloppy production--can erase the fond memories of the late Brandon Lee.

Worst of the Crow franchise, which should have ended with Brandon Lee and the entertaining first film.

Looks pretty, but bad scripting makes this an incoherent sequel to the goth classic/

Why didn't the producers save all the money they spent on these great sets and brilliant special effects for a script worthy of them?

This is a terrific debut for Pope, and City of Angels is the perfect antidote to the increasingly fluffy Batman films.

This dark and brooding sequel is an absolute pain to watch.
