Quite the drop off. I wasn't totally and utterly bored with <em>'The Crow: City of Angels'</em>, the short 85 minute run time helps, but everything about it is extremely forgettable. This sequel to 1994's <em>'The Crow'</em> fails to recapture anything that the original flick did so impressively, the whole vibe of this one just feels like a watered down rehash of what came prior. Mia Kirshner is the pick of the cast, she doesn't get much to work with but is still someone I was at least a tiny bit interested in onscreen. Vincent Perez isn't terrible, though there isn't really anything to praise about his performance. Elsewhere, Iggy Pop gives a wooden showing - though at least looked like he was having a blast doing so. Hopefully the other two sequels improved upon this.
