Oh boy. This is a very cheap movie, although it certainly didn't feel as cheap as the second installment in the "Crow" series. And if we were to judge this film by cheap modern B movies standards, it would rate pretty high. Unfortunately, I'm not going to do that.
The writing isn't great, and more twisted (but not as twisted as "City of Angels") lies within this film. The violence is also more visceral, but it also feels more justified. Whether that's good or bad is for the viewer to decide. In comparison to the second movie, this one is great. It is a lot like the first film, while retaining a completely different plot and set of characters and events. There are a few plot holes but those are forgivable in a movie like this.
More good messages about life and love come through too, which was nice. Although I found it interesting that the dark theme from the first movie has visually died in its succeeding films.
I found this movie enjoyable, but only so because I liked the first film and hated the second. Even though this is a stand-alone film, there would be no reason to see it unless you were a fan of the first movie. 5 out of 10.
Note: Kirstin Dunst confirms her status as "Worst Actress of All Time" in this movie.
