The problem remains that Kirsten didn't get to the series earlier, and that's how The Crow films managed to lose everything good about them during the second film. However, it later turned out that it could in fact get even worse and Kirsten had only a regular B-movie to try out some more interesting special make-up tricks.

I wouldn't be that strict about it, especially since compared to the inferior second film, The Crow: Salvation comes across as a true masterpiece. It has an aggressive soundtrack, flashy editing, and realistic violence. It does not bring shame to the original comic books, even though there is a lack of deeper character development and the elimination of some villains could have been slower and more inventive. (Of course, I am not a sadist, just like other comic fans.) The modification of the screenplay, which deviated from the original version, doesn't bother me, as the police chief is a worthy opponent... Overall impression: 70%.
