| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA compelling exercise in style over substance. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisOne of the most stunning, yet haunting, films ever made |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe Crow imbues its comic brutalism with emotion and satire. Too raw and pulpy, it probably shouldn't be regarded as a memorial to Brandon Lee. But as an obsessive rock 'n' roll comic book movie shocker of loony intensity, it stands, or flies, by itself. |
| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferThe Crow is a visually immersive, emotionally wrought comic adaptation and one of the best gothic tales ever made. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIf he had to die so soon, this movie is the best and most appropriate sendoff Lee could have hoped for. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is a stunning work of visual style - the best version of a comic book universe I've seen - and Brandon Lee clearly demonstrates in it that he might have become an action star, had he lived. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferThe Crow is a visually immersive, emotionally wrought comic adaptation and one of the best gothic tales ever made. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelCandice RussellA stylized revenge fantasy of dark beauty. |

| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisLuridly lit, jumpily edited and searingly scored, the film is little more than an extended pop video, the thin plot an excuse for an orgy of destruction and vengeful violence. |
