I watched the trailer for this earlier, mostly in surprise that the remake actually happened. I had no idea it was finished and ready for release.
Anyway, while you shouldn’t really judge a movie purely by its trailer, what I will say is that a crucial element that makes The Crow (comic and original movie) work so well is that Eric and Shelley are just normal people trying to live normal lives in shitty circumstances. We can see ourselves in them, falling (no pun intended) into a bad situation through no fault of our own.
From what I can tell, in this they’ve made them angsty, drug taking edgelords, because that’s…edgier, I guess. Why should we really give a shit about Eric Wick’s revenge tour when we can’t relate to him in the slightest?
