The Crow Reboot Review & Fall Preview Hype Meter

The ComicBook Nation crew previews the Fall TV and Movie schedules and shares their hype levels for some of the most highly anticipated releases! There’s also a review and discussion of the upcoming reboot of The Crow, starring Bill Skarsgård.

PLUS: A deep-dive discussion about the status of Star Wars after The Acolyte’s cancellation, and a debate about Marvel’s Blade reboot and what kind of film it should be.

This is what ComicBook Nation host Kofi Outlaw had to say in his 2-star review of The Crow:

Under the direction of Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) and the genuine effort made by stars Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs, The Crow isn’t a total failure – but it is a messy mismatch of high-art aspirations and bloody, brutal, B-movie action-horror. It’s both vibrantly alive with creative spark and passion – and a listless, muddled attempt at telling a cinematic story. It’s not impossible that, despite its flaws, The Crow will follow the path of the original and grow into a cult hit in years to come. If nothing else, it’s one of the biggest showcases yet of Bill Skarsgård’s potential as a leading man (and not just the lineup of odd creatures and/or creeps he’s played). But, after more than a decade of trying to get this reboot off the ground – and all the creative talent that’s been attached to it along the way – it’s almost amusing that middling effort is the end result.

ComicBook Nation is gearing up for an exciting fall season with a variety of promising TV shows and movies on the horizon. The anticipation among fans is palpable as they look forward to seeing their favorite characters and stories brought to life on screen.

Bill Skarsgård, known for his roles in horror films, is taking on a new challenge with the lead role in The Crow reboot. The film has had a long and troubled production history, but fans are hopeful that the final product will be worth the wait.
