The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Even for teens hooked on the grandiloquence of death-metal masochism, the movie may seem closer to an endless Sunday in church. Rated: D Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Joe Leydon Variety Stunningly awful. May 3, 2007 Full Review The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Time Out Although the setting has moved from Detroit to LA, the stylised urban wasteland, morbid atmosphere and basic plot remain the same. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emilie Black JoBlo's Movie Network Visually, it’s still a stunning film, the soundtrack still rules, but the acting and cgi are not on point and they hurt the film as a whole. Rated: 7/10 Sep 21, 2023 Full Review The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media It's a story that never takes flight, while the constant "cawing" of an actual crow in nearly every scene only adds to the irritating experience. Rated: 1/5 Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Crow: City of Angels | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Gena Radcliffe The Spool The most important thing you need to know about City of Angels is that it's the exact same movie as The Crow.

Raziel T Okay; one main thing.The movie's not bad. It's just a whole world worth of different from the first film. It's a fun watch, but definitely doesn't compare to the first installment of the series.That's essentially all there is to say. It's a fun watch, can be made even more fun with friends, and generally speaking it's passable at least and a thrilling watch altogether. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 5.8/10The crowinator. I was really digging the set pieces in style but it has mediocre action and cheesy performances. It’s enjoyable enough nothing awful, but they almost cooked. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Tim M More of a shoddy retread than a worthwhile sequel, The Crow: City of Angels is all squawk and no peck. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review r96 s Quite the drop off.I wasn't totally and utterly bored with 'The Crow: City of Angels', the short 85 minute run time helps, but everything about it is extremely forgettable. This sequel to 1994's 'The Crow' fails to recapture anything that the original flick did so impressively, the whole vibe of this one just feels like a watered down rehash of what came prior.Mia Kirshner is the pick of the cast, she doesn't get much to work with but is still someone I was at least a tiny bit interested in onscreen. Vincent Perez isn't terrible, though there isn't really anything to praise about his performance. Elsewhere, Iggy Pop gives a wooden showing - though at least looked like he was having a blast doing so.Hopefully the other two sequels improved upon this. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Elias P City of Angels is a perfect continuance of part one!. ThuyTrang (mighty morphin power rangers) is at her BEST! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Marcus S My honest opinion I think it was ok Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
