All these years later and this is still the best comic movie

Careful lad, you're on a board with people who had no interest in comics until Avengers came out. They've never seen that film, but they will attack you as a toxic 90's relic.

The weird thing is that The Crow always makes me think more of the late 80s or the early 00s than the 90s. That neo-gothic look doesn't seem very 90s, at least to me.
Nicholas Allen
It's late 80s early 90s, it's in the same box with Batman and TMNT of great comic book films with a real artistic flair in how they were done that feels surreal and flashy yet still grounded in the real world at the same time enough to be live action, as opposed to the modern sitcoms with CGI cartoons clashing with the tone.

Yeah, now that you mention it Burton's Batman movies, TMNT, and The Crow, all seem to take place in the same artistic "reality."
Tyler Sanders
Were there any movies made in that style after Dark City?
Lucas Jenkins
The OST and licensed soundtrack are both 10/10.
Nathaniel Kelly
The Matrix I guess
Ryan Richardson
City of Angels soundtrack is good too

How did Raimi got away with it?

The late 80s and early 90s just had a very specific brand of edgy that was a ton of fun. And neo gothic stuff as you mentioned with BtAS was super popular. Gothic stuff has always had a niche appeal with some people though.

It was dethroned before it was ever even made because Dick Tracy came out years before it.
John Nguyen
Gargoyles as well must have been intended as that before what it became. I mean...They're the scary monsters that are on old churches.
Logan Scott
There was also the (radically different to the source material) anime of Hellsing, and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (which makes me hard because it looks so fucking good).
Their version at Glastonbury was fucking great as well. The entire set was a knock out.

The one image that really stuck out in my mind with that show is from the one with the two brothers where one is a Priest and the other is a gangster, and at the end it pans around and you see the impossibly huge Gothic cathedral, bathed in light from below, towering over the Gotham.
Blake Garcia
The promo art is pretty neo-gothic, a lot more than the show at least. I want to say that this came from the top, because Greg Weisman's multiple references to the Gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho in Young Justice shows he would be down with the aesthetic if they told him to do it.
William Torres
If it makes you feel better that look is now reality.

We'll never get a comic book movie villain as good as this prick. A villain can't simply be rotten to the core and irredeemable while still being charismatic anymore. It's always gonna be some middle ground of "they're not so bad" or "well, they kinda had a point!"

Gargoyles was a direct attempt to compete with two hot commodities of the era...Batman and X-Men, it's literally a combination of the two, and if you include some TMNT clonage along with Street Sharks, Biker Mice and the like, it was also made to sell action figures and accessories

Are the sequels worth a god damn?
Henry Watson
City of Angels and Salvation are okay. Wicked Prayer is unbelievably bad.
Angel Ward
Thanks, user. I was looking for something to watch. I'll give these a shot.
Noah Smith
It's the best at what it does within its sub-genre alright. Lee is forever a legend because of this film, it's too bad how he died because of this film.
Daniel Davis
It was the 90's people could take a joke back then.
Leo Peterson
American Splendor,Ghost WOrld,A History of VIolence,Hellboy 2,Winter Soldier are all better.
Crow is decent and for it's era was great. But there is so many great comic movies to come out since Crow came out.
Colton Baker
Crow sequels go the same way TMNT sequels do, take that as you will....there might be some entertainment value, but it decreases as you go on, and really only the first one is true quality
Jordan Sanchez
I remember liking Wicked Prayer. Why do people shit on it.
