Phoenic FC - Rocketmen

I tagged you wrong. I feel sad and shame.


I think the importance of sequels is to change something meaningful. In The Crow, they could have had the same story with different people but changed the tone. Like, The Crow is primarily about love and justice. The book is primaraly about cold, hard revenge. YOu could have a second Crow focus on pure hate, and how that brings about the destruction of the Draven-esque character in that case. Or spiritual redemption, rather than revenge and hate.

These are bad ideas, but I look at something like The Dark Knight Trilogy. The first one is a basic hero movie. The second one, however, the feel at the end of that is unique. You have the good guy being a bad guy. So it stands out from the first, and you leave the theatre with a different feeling. Then the third, most of the flick is about a decrepit, aging, broken man. Again, they are all part of the same series, but they are different in tone and feel and direction. Switching those up keeps the series interesting.

I felt The Crow movies did that, but unfortunately, even the good actors in the final two couldn't mask the weaknesses of the scripts. Sometimes the actors can salvage it, unfortunately they didn't with the final 2 films.

Now I kinda wanna see the 2-3 I didn't see.

Everyone: "Those are terrible, they should have been different"
Justin: "Now I wanna see them"

I liked them simply because it was The Crow franchise, but once they got past City of Angels, they did get weak, unfortunately.

Right now I am watching The Ice Pirates, I don't discriminate against bad movies.
