 Never Remake a Good movie June 19, 2008
Traven J. Terzich (usa)

I saw the pilot episode.
It bored the heck out of me.
I found it dull and uninteresting.
this sereis remakes the Crow. it takes the same story and does it all over again. some of the same lines even crop up again. allthough the actor who plays the crow who delivers the same lines as Lee does so in a rather uninteresting way.
the fact is I dont see why they bothered to remake what was a rather good movie. yes part of it is the actors. not just because its not Brandon lee but its not Michael Wincott. Lee was the BEST actor to play the Crow. and frankly having some other actor play the part is a discredit to his memory. the actor who plays Top Doller in this series is not an impressive villen. Wincott who played the same charture stole all his sceans as Top Doller.
with the Movie you had a good actor playing the hero and a good actor playing the villen. you cant get any better then that.
and yet..several 'sequils' have been made off the movie.
and this tv series remakes the movie entirly
and it does it in a rather boring way.
the action, dialoge, actors, and so on all were uinteresting.
half way into the piolt I was bored out of my mind
waiting it to be over.
if you want to watch the Crow see the Brandon lee movie.
dont bother with ANY of the sequils or this series.
Disappointing, Uninspiring April 8, 2008

I unfortunately listened to to other reviewers of this product and tried to view it with an impartial and open mind. It was terrible; I cringed and I laughed. The acting and even the the way the actors looked was awful. I made myself watch the first episode all the way through; I have things to do and I don't need to see any more. There is a legitimate reason why it never made it past the first season.
"We Are Forever Lovers" ~ Supernatural Hero, Gothic Romance March 13, 2008

The short-lived television series `The Crow - Stairway To Heaven' is yet another incarnation of the popular movies chronicling the exploits of the tormented Eric Draven on his unending battle against the forces of darkness and his quest to join his beloved Shelly waiting on the Otherside. Building on the foundation established by the '94 cult classic `The Crow' starring the late Brandon Lee, this serialized retelling and extension of the Crow's ongoing saga stars Mark Dacascos in the role of the black garbed, supernatural avenger.
Mark is perfect for the part, succeeding in both emulating and expanding on the role and persona so vividly portrayed by Brandon. The television series also did an admirable job at duplicating the overall gothic atmosphere and morose melancholy that permeated the original film. Someone definitely did their homework before going into production of the series.
In my opinion the glue that holds the saga together while adding depth and dimension to the storyline is the tragic love story between Eric and Shelly. It's their ethereal, intermittent meetings between this world and the next that constitute the soul of the Crow mythos and validates his reasoning for battling on. This romantic, gothic essence is beautifully recaptured in this television series and should help to draw more female interest to an otherwise male dominated audience.

While it might not be in the same class as the movie, this TV series is very good and well worth watching on it's own. Personally I think that they managed to maintain the spirit of the movie and yet develop the existing characters and add new ones in an entirely consistant way. I just loved it!
FINALLY!!! December 25, 2007
Janet L. Rogers (Claremont, NC USA)
You will not find a bigger ORIGINAL Crow fan than me. The movies that followed the masterpiece Brandon Lee was in were hideous and should never have seen the light of day! However, as judegmental as I am regarding the movies? Well this TV series was fantastic!! DEF deserves a "looksee" from fans and new comers alike....give it a fair chance before you form an opinion. Nothing will EVER live up to the Crow with Brandon Lee...but this comes as close as possible!! ENJOY!
