“The Crow” (* out of four) was an inferior-in-every-way remake of the 1994 gothic masterpiece about a young man (Bill Skarsgard) and his girlfriend (FKA Twigs) who are brutally murdered by underworld thugs (Danny Huston, Laura Birn, and others) and he is resurrected from the grave to traverse the world of the living and the dead to enact revenge. With all the searing emotional power and mesmerizing visual poetry of the original removed (and even the action scenes poorly staged and shot), what’s left is a routine revenge thriller and a desecration of what writer thought was the best graphic-novel adaptation of all time. Some things literally need to rest in peace.
