Quite the drop off. I wasn't totally and utterly bored with 'The Crow: City of Angels', the short 85 minute run time helps, but everything about it is extremely forgettable. This sequel to 1994's 'The Crow' fails to recapture anything that the original flick did so impressively, the whole vibe of this one just feels like a watered down rehash of what came prior. Mia Kirshner is the pick of the cast, she doesn't get much to work with but is still someone I was at least a tiny bit interested in onscreen. Vincent Perez isn't terrible, though there isn't really anything to praise about his performance. Elsewhere, Iggy Pop gives a wooden showing - though at least looked like he was having a blast doing so. Hopefully the other two sequels improved upon this.
