Average Extra of: Is The Crow 2024 going to be a financial success or dead and buried? by AverageMansReviews
Disclaimer/Speculation: straight off the bat, let's get this out of the way
with, I will go and see this film, providing I can find a suitable time or
failing that I will see it anyway at some time and I will be using a drop of
speculation in this content but as you will come to read it is a fair as in
reasonable speculation.
What the hell are they thinking?: There is no way in hell I would have brought this
project to life with a reboot. Because I am of the generation that knows full
well what happened in a nutshell and let's stick to the facts; we heard Brandon
Lee as Eric Draven/The Crow; he absolutely made this character/role his
break-through/iconic performance and this 1994 classic was released in the
right era; as it was the era of grunge/rock [basically what I'm saying is all
the stars aligned at precisely the right moment for this project to be
released] as this film is a slice of that culture back then, you may be
wondering where the hell is he going with this? You had Brandon Lee which for
the younger generation out there had on reflection but after him Heath Ledger
as Joker [The Dark Knight 2008;] where after these two individual performances
they were speculated to be the next big thing in their own point in history,
but they both tragically died Lee was a gunshot, whilst Ledger was an
accidental overdose.
Yes I
have seen some trailers of The Crow 2024 and I think it is just going to be
problematic for whatever side of the fence you sit on or even including for
those that are sitting on the fence. Where I did say from earlier the 1994
version had that 1990's culture presentation and feel I get none of that from
this film as in the culture component or/and none of what Eric Draven/The Crow
feels for his beloved and/or he has short hair which is a massive no-no and
just to finish this section of his face make-up is just a massive No; in short
it doesn't have the IT.
I'm
not joking and no I'm not being woke here but I would have much preferred a
female take on The Crow, just so that I could get away from this reboot because
I am of the belief it shouldn't have been rebooted just out of firstly respect
and secondly good luck filling those direct boots Bill Skarsgård. But however
were I would have gone for females that I know can put in an action performance
and in-hopefully grow into the role of Erica Draven/The Crow, I mean they could
even take the angle of Eric being her uncle or grandpa that she is named after,
that she didn't know much about but has been named after and strangely enough
she likes playing the guitar as well. Hopefully by doing this angle and pay
respect to Eric Draven/Lee, I am not getting this version to take over from the
male equivalent, I am just going with a slight bit of comedy of how could a
similar thing happened to one family twice and on top of that she is going to
make her own path and the record I don't care if she happens to be bisexual
actually it would probably be better if she was as there would open up the
avenue of she sees everyone has the same quality for putting foot posterior;
the performers I would look at would be Anya Taylor-Joy, Daisy Ridley or older
Katie Cassidy, Michelle Rodriguez or Florence Kasumba.
I
have also found out that allegedly [just in case it happens to be wrong] that
the budget for this film is only $50 million, which could indicate that; that
is all they needed or I am leaning towards that is all they were willing to
risk on this project meaning hypothetically this film could be potentially
absolutely garbage which if it is the case why bring it out in the first place?
I think that unfortunately this film may quite possibly/probably will be dead
on arrival when it comes to the box office, I mean the person I watch some of
this content with said as they have also seen a trailer for this film and I am
paraphrasing; he doesn't look like he has any charisma or anything like that,
it doesn't look like or feel like The Crow film.
So
for me; we will have to wait and see, but if you want an out and out answer to
if this film is going to be a financial success or not? No and if it does I
will be surprised, because as soon as word of mouth goes around that this film
is hypothetically speaking poor or potentially a disappointing reboot then no
one is going to spend money to see it. I know this is completely different but
also a similar problem with Twister [1996] and its sequel yes I said sequel
Twisters [2024] why are we getting it? I know they kind of got away with it
with Independents Day [1996] and then its sequel Independence Day: Resurgence
[2016] but my point is this and I will finish this content on this point;
eventually the luck of rebooting these franchises or/sequels of a long time
apart will eventually run out
