The third installment of The Crow series, The Crow: Salvation opens with the electrocution of death row inmate Alex Corvis (Eric Mabius) on his 21st birthday. Falsely convicted of the brutal stabbing murder of his girlfriend Lauren (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) three years earlier, Alex spent the duration of his imprisonment insisting that Lauren was murdered by a man with a series of distinctive scars up and down his arms; unfortunately, the police never found any trace of him. Immediately following Alex's messy electrocution, during which his leather mask melted onto his face, his guardian crow appears to resurrect him. After clawing off the mask, which leaves some interesting burn marks on his face, Alex sets out to find Lauren's killer and clear his own name. He finds an ally for his cause in Erin (Kirstin Dunst), Lauren's sister. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

As a fan of the various Crow graphic novels, this one comes the closest of them all to the actual temperment of The Crow, or rather the Original Crow. In this movie, The Crow is portrayed more like the wraith that he truly is, a being whose drive sustains him beyond his own violent death to fulfill the purpose of The Crow: Justice that only death can bring to the purpetrators of great evil, as inexorable and unavoidable as the pain and death that they inflicted upon the innocent. That said, the movie is not a perfect vehicle for The Crow, but none of them have been and likely never will be given that any movie that is absolutely true to the graphic novel would almost certainly receive an X rating for violence, but I personally found this one to be SIGNIFICANTLY less disappointing that the first movie and considerably less disappointing than City of Angels.

This one is far from the last 2 Crow movies, but it was OK. Same heavy metal rock music played, same sick twisted people are involved. Eventually you see the long black coat (as usual) on the guy playing the crow, but he walks around the whole movie in work overalls (not the all time famous leather pants.....aw come on). The story was weak and so was the acting. Quite a surprise since Kirsten Dunst is in it. I thought her performance was completely unbelievable and no real emotion. This film failed to impress me. I went by the reviews and obviously these people don't remember the first 2 movies because they are far better than this one. I guess thats what you get when they make sequel after sequel of a good movie.

But what can? This was a pretty good movie but it lacked the emotional depth of the original Crow. The dead girlfriend was a really bad actress. Mabius did a good job, he had some really good lines. This is the closest to the original Crow as it gets, sometimes borrowing too much. Overall it was definitely worth watching.

This is the last real crow movie. Eric Mabius may not have looked the part of the crow, but he played the part great. Some parts of the story were less than gratifying but I suppose like any sequel you need to push the envelope more and more. The only real change I would have made to this film is taking Kirsten Dunst out. I dont know if its just me but as an actress she seems to suck out all the fun from a movie and just make it depressing. Other than that this third installment in the crow series is watchable and far better than The Crow Wicked Prayer. Enjoy.

I liked it. It was not a poor remake but took some twists while keeping to the general myth.

This movie wasn't too bad. Just not as good as the first 2 were. They should have used better actors in my opinion. Lisa

I liked the other two, but this one was almost too bad for words. Bad acting, bad story, bad casting, just a bad movie
