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

Stunningly awful.

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.

Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Rotten

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

Jack Mathews, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

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