Reaction: This sequel grossed a bit more than The Crow: Resurrected, but it also cost a good chunk more which cut into the profits a bit. All in all though, it is a profitable franchise for writer Jacob Jones and director Sam Raimi.
"While I'm still not sure writer Jacob Jones and director Sam Raimi capture the essence of the title character, they at least upped the action and mayhem in this soft-sequel. The supporting cast is full of recognizable faces who get to chew tons of scenery. While the story and action are improvements over the previous entry, I did miss Adam Driver." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"John Boyega offers the film some star power after his Green Lantern turn, but he doesn't offer much else to the film. He is constantly over-shadowed by the other characters in the film and his performance pales in comparison to Adam Driver's take in the preceding film." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"Does John Boyega immediately send out Crow Vibes? No. Does John Boyega as The Crow work? To a capacity yes. Although he himself as The Crow is not as perfectly cast as Adam Driver was, Boyega delivers a great performance. The film has some amazing action set pieces and as a whole works better than The Crow: Resurrected (Even if there are some moments that should have been left out). The entertainment value of the film is definitely there and I recommend the watch." - J. Johnson, DailyMovieNews.com
Rated R for graphic violence, strong language and some sexual content
