Absolutely the worst movie.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Well, I agree with the score that this is one of the worst superhero movies ever made. This is what I get for skipping the bad ones having to watch them for later. You'd assume that since this was a sequel to "The Crow" it would feature the Crow from the first movie. No, this focuses on a brand new character and it's mostly just a really bad retelling of the original film. This is labeled a sequel, but it did not follow the original story at all. Everything was just so stupid in this movie.The Crow doesn't appear with makeup until a third into the movie. That's kind of annoying with a film that's a sequel and isn't supposed to be an origin story. The makeup is horrible in this. I don't think he even had any on at the end. I remember how unique and effective the makeup in the original film was and am stunned at how hideous this is. The slow motion used in this film is extremely distracting too. It comes off as silly and obnoxious. At least "Howard The Duck" had the excuse of being the first theatrically released Marvel movie.We keep seeing flashbacks to stuff that was already in the movie and it adds nothing to the plot. First, it's in red except for one time where it's green. Then it's normal colored. Then it's yellow? There's a scene where a priest takes his shirt off and dances in slow motion to heal a crow. I was just so perplexed at this. Then this guy becomes the Devil and his wife stabs him but then she didn't mean it or something? I had no clue at all what was going on in this movie at all. It was a horrible looking film with terrible acting and one of the worst of its kind. *

On his way to becoming an immortal demon, gang leader Luc Crash (Boreanaz) orchestrates the murder of Jimmy Cuervo (Furlong) and his girlfriend, Lily (Chriqui).You would think by this point that the Crow franchise would have died out. But no. You get another chance, and even with direct-to-video, they pulled out some pretty good stars: Edward Furlong, Tara Reid, David Boreanaz, Danny Trejo and even Dennis Hopper! Though not a great film, it is not as awful as it could have been. What the "Crow" has done a good job of, at least since the second film, is give the minority community a hero. Furlong is of Mexican descent, as are many of the actors in this one. How many horror films feature Latinos? Not many.

"A man has an idea. The idea attracts others, like-minded. The idea expands. The idea becomes the institution. What was the idea?" - Top Dollar (Michael Wincott) in the original "The Crow"So, a murdered ex-con comes back from the dead, paints himself up like a member of the KISS Army, and goes after the Satanic cult that killed him and his girlfriend - a cult led by Tara Reid and the guy from "Bones". The premise of "The Crow: Wicked Prayer", the fourth and (here's hoping) final entry in the "The Crow" franchise, sounds like the setup to a joke... and well, it is a joke. Not a funny one, though."The Crow: Wicked Prayer" is the final nail in the "Crow" series' coffin. The acting, dialog and direction is awful, and the setup is both ridiculous and boring. Not one character on screen could be recognized as a real person. Really, it doesn't get much worse than this.To think the franchise started off with such promise. The 1994 film "The Crow" did something that had never been done before: it took elements of the ghost story and revenge thriller genres and told a story about characters we liked and cared about. It had real, human heart to go along with the balletic violence and Gothic set pieces. That, and the late Brandon Lee's iconic performance, made the film a wonderful experience, one of those rare movies you can watch over and over again, each time finding something new.Then Edward R. Pressman Films, the studio that produced the movie, smelled money, and started grinding out sequels, each one worse than the last. "The Crow: City of Angels" was dull and lifeless, and "The Crow: Salvation" was incoherent and silly. "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" has the dubious distinction of being far and away the worst of these sequels.A certain amount of melodrama is to be expected in the revenge movie genre, but "Wicked Prayer" is as histrionic as a teenager's dream journal. Should you actually decide to watch this movie, it's my duty to warn you that you'll have to listen to lines like "Revenge is easy - forgetting is hard", "You owe me two lives and a pair of perfect blue eyes", and my personal favorite, "Quoth the raven nevermore, motherf---er!". It doesn't help that director Lance Muniga doesn't seem to know the difference between a film and a music video; he substitutes explosions, pointless jump cuts and imitation "Matrix" fight choreography for plot, character and dialog.He doesn't know how to cast or work with actors, either. Edward Furlong is horribly miscast as an undead avenger: he pouts, whines, and looks like a trick-or-treater in the Crow makeup. We don't care if he gets revenge or not. David Boreanz and Tara Reid are quite possibly the least intimidating Satanists ever seen on film - they call each other "dawg" and "shorty", fer Chrissakes. And poor Dennis Hopper just looks embarrassed in a cameo as a Satanic priest who speaks in Ebonics ("The devil will be your homey forevermore!"). Like the "Jaws" sequels and the Joel Schumacher "Batman" movies, "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" is depressing to watch. A brilliant idea has been co-opted and ruined by a bunch of amateurs. The idea has become the institution. It's time to move on.

I give this movie an rating of 2, solely on the scenes with the Crow. ( the bird, not furlong) Those scenes they actually got right,of course i cant say that for the rest of the so called content of this movie. David Boreanz, was amazing as the Vampire with an soul, in the Angel series, he haven't made anything, beside that series i can recommend. Why he is in this movie is beyond me, though he do it far better than Furlong, who is overacting through this entire movie. Where Brandon Lee portrayed an painful soul brought back to avenge his love, Furlong is portraying an little brat coming into puberty, worst performance everReally sad to see The Crow franchise getting buried in this way, sometimes its better to stop on a good note, than to keep playing until everyone is fleeing.
