Is it the movie plot, is it the wine...

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2000)

I didnt like The Crow a lot even when i love movies that are close to comic style or are movie versions of a comic strip. Had my hopes with this second Proyas effort but had real trouble to watch this dark city entirely at once. It took a whole week of trying, but after 10-20 minutes i would fall asleep. Until i watched it all along. And later asked myself: was it the plot or was it this good red wine which put me asleep without a warning?
About the film itself, well, i agree there's an interesting plot thread but sometimes the film's narration is rather confusing, and tending to that awful visual clip style (not for the editing, i mean the lighting and other clip vices) which i think Proyas came from. As cinema noir fan i could say that Bill Hurt could be more used as a private eye in a real CN movie, i dont know what's he trying to do with his career after this and Lost in Space. And I still ask myself after writing this comment. Was it the plot or the wine? I wont wait for Dark City II. I mean to buy another one.
