Seattle had screening of this movie for one week only. so this is how i saw it. well there isn't much to say about The Crow: Wicked Prayer. it had its ups and its downs. in terms of a movie though, i thought it just sucked. i thought the intro was good though, had a little profile of the main bad guys with the exception of Lola (i feel they could have picked a better actress other than Tara Reid). Although i do feel that the death of Pestilence (Okumoto), Famine (Ortiz), and War (Chong) could have been better. There was however a fight between Jimmy (Furlong) and Death (Boreanaz). that wasn't really in the previous Crow movies. In the original there was a sword fight, but this one was more one-on-one. I couldn't figure out if the movie was suppose to happen somewhere in America, or Mexico. The Indian tribe, i believe was fictional. Totem poles were found out in the desert-crap type area, and Totem poles are more coastal tribes (if they where more to the cost then they didn't really explain). I also felt that that they could have actually chosen REAL Indians to play the roles of Indians, but I guess they wanted the more Mexica-Indian look (which confuse me because i couldn't tell where the movie was taking place). Dennis Hopper's character, El Nino to me was more of a comic relief character. He spoke slang, and was a satanic-gansta-pimp. The back story between Lola (Reid), and El Nino (Hopper) i felt could have been explained better. Macy Gray in my opnio did not fit the role for the movie and (in my opinion) doesn't really have much to do with The Crow franchise. but thankfully she doesn't last long in the movie. I also felt that Boreanza wasn't a good match for Death, especially the dialog after he becomes the embodiment of Lucifer. All in all i give the movie a 7 out of 10, some of the characters and actors chosen for the characters i felt was off, but the overall story was interesting.
