Entertaining DVD movie

After purchasing this DVD I had mixed emotions before putting it into the player. 1. The cast was amazing. 2. This was straight to DVD in the UK.....

However as soon as the movie starts the action starts, the pace never gets left behind and you feel real emotion towards the characters. Edward Furlong is the kind of anti-hero in a sense, bit of a bad ass (then again isn't that what the crow is about?) and he pulls it off big style looking to revenge the foes who took away his true love.

Acting is good all around and the satanists are portrayed as very scary which i'm sure the director was trying to pull off.

Very good movie, my favourite in the franchise...... 7/10.
