The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)

Nothing tops the first, and I'm not saying it's impossible to make a better crow film than the first I'm just saying this one wasn't as great, but definitely the second best. Furlong did an excellent job especially, he really was a sort of angry/ apathetic crow hybrid, and i was very impressed.

Contrary to the first reviewer, I think the only bad thing about this flick WAS Dennis Hopper, I don't know if it was how he was scripted, if he ad libbed, or if they just cast the wrong person, either way, you will find yourself asking the timeless question, "what the ****?" See it, and pay for it, especially if you are a fan and you'd like to see quality sequels made, when they are actually good it's up to us to support what we demand when it's delivered

Fmovies: No way as good as the original but not many movies are. However there were some good performances considering a poor script and talented acting by Furlong and in some ways Boreanaz made the movie worth watching. Looks like David Boreanaz is already type-cast as the wise cracking evil cool dude maybe he should have swapped characters with Furlong to rid himself of this mould.Tara Reid walks around trying to be the evil witch but her talents lie in her looks not her acting ability. Dennis Hopper, well , devil worshipping homeboy very strange casting.Overall not a great movie but no great disgrace to the genre .Watch it and make your own mind up its worth 90 minutes.

I adore the Crow franchise... I love all the movies and even the T.V show on occasion.

But lets face it, Wicked Prayer was the worst movie to date. The original was fantastic, as they always are, the second (City of Angels) was passable, but Vincent Perez was great as the Crow. Salvation, my second favourite, made use of some amazing young talent... But Wicked Prayer?! No. David Boreanez is a great actor, I think he did an amazing job as Angel in Buffy and Angel, Tara Reid is great in all her other movies... But so miscast in this it's untrue... The new crow, not too bad, but far too underplayed! Where's the angst? The special effects were lousy to say the least and it seemed the director was too interested I'm piling up the body count than making a genuine love/revenge story that the entire crow fiction centres upon.

I honestly have to steer people away, as only the true die-hard fans would want to see it, for the sake of saying they have seen it. Every one else would be put off the movies for good!

The Crow: Wicked Prayer fmovies. My almost top ten favorite movie is since I'm 14 "The Crow" with B.Lee. I love it too much, to say there is a good sequel from it. No. There isn't. The second part was OK, the third terrible and this... i don't know what to say about. It's a big hole with full of sh*t... I hope lot of people around the world understand with me, because the original movie was one of the biggest thing in my life. I'm very sad, because there are a lot of emotions in the story and I can't understand how the sequels are so stupid and cheap, full with action(worse action)against feelings and love... I hope there will be no more movies with this title, because Brandon will really come back to make the wrong things right!

Watched The film with an open mind thinking the film wouldn't be that bad!! How wrong i was the plot makes no sense at all, unlike the original film the actors are all wooden and seem to have no sense of what the legacy and style of the Crow is all about. The plot of the graphic novel of the same name is completely different. At Times the film almost seems like a bad parody of the original with some frames lifted directly from it. The problem with all the sequels is the budget is never enough and also James O'Barr doesn't seem to want to have anything do with it. Also why the hell was dennis hopper in it? he popped up from no where acted everyone under the table and then had the worlds crappiest death.

Wicked Prayer is a departure from the previous films in that it takes place in an entirely different, unique setting. The third sequel is set in the American Southwest, and the director has created a film with a style more in line with spaghetti westerns than with the other Crow films. This immediately starts the film out on the wrong foot. The concept of a makeup-wearing avenger can be silly if it isn't treated with respect and verisimilitude, and that is a big reason why The Crow: Wicked Prayer falls flat on its face. From the very beginning of the film, when the villains are introduced with jokey subtitles featuring their nicknames and main attributes, Wicked Prayer is just too tongue-in-cheek to be compelling in any way. David Boreanaz's over-the-top, Nicholson-esquire performance doesn't help matters, and Edward Furlong simply doesn't have the acting chops or the charisma to make up for the film's numerous flaws. In the end, he turns out looking more like a mid-90's Smashing Pumpkins fan than a fearsome spirit of vengeance. Add in some embarrassingly bad wire work in the fight scenes and you have one big, bad, direct-to-video disaster. It's not even worth a rental.
