This film was dire, like most was given the warning but stubbornly thought the film could be okay, i mean i am guilty of liking crap movies, i thought the new Highlander was okay, the 4th Crow wasn't that bad, but this, this is bad.

Where do i begin. For starters the movie just isn't well made, every lesson that is taught in film school is flung out the window. Clichéd plot and cheese are expected but the film goes to a whole new level. For starters there are far to few shots and the shots that are used are crap. The soundtrack is almost non existent only showing up every now and again. The acting, now the acting is something new, I've seen bad acting but this has almost no acting. The worst example of this is a bit where a girl walks out of a club and is cornered by 4 thugs, a man in black walks into the picture, throws them all away one by one and just walks out, and when i say throw them i mean grudgingly moves his arm a couple of times. This isn't an isolated incident either.

There is also lack of continuity or explanation from scene to scene. The computer effects are alright but still manage to look as if it isn't real, but then most computer effects do so that can't be faulted. The lead actors try to convey a sense of worry and panic all the time showing no chemistry to each other or change in mood the whole film.

I guess what I'm trying to say is yes this film looks great but it isn't, its dire. I wouldn't let a review put me off watching this piece of crap so i doubt this review will but once you do, you will know what i mean. As stated I've liked crap movies before, I've even seen trates i liked in movies i didn't but this is unredeemable.

By no means a perfect film although by far the most amazing in the series bar the first. There is something about Wicked Prayer that is so cool, an i think id have to say it is Edward Furlong. This guy really does make a good crow. Maybe because unlike the other previous Crows, he doesn't pretend or act like Brandon Lee, instead we have a much angst an angry Crow, who doesn't go out of his way to b nice to someone that isn't guilty. It makes for a difference in plot and story. Okay Boreanaz was alright up to a point, then just started to act a bit too Angelous(don't get me wrong i love Angel, an think Boreanaz is great in his series, its just that he overacts in this as Angelous). Dennis Hopper was awful, over-acting every word and statement he had to make. Sure it didn't help him that his dialogue was fairly crap and to a certain extent pointless and Tara Reid just can't act. The story its self is rather entertaining and adds originality to the crow story instead of it just being the usual re-telling of the 1st, like city of angels. I would just love it tho if the love theme from the awful third film made it into this, then at least you wouldn't have such an amazing theme linked to an awe-full film. Oh well, the music wasn't that bad, tho nor was it good. Anyway, moan the furlong, this film has certainly made me a fan of his. He was amazing, in a hugely under-rated film. I'd advise any one to watch this cause it was actually a great film.
