First off let me just say that I love movies, action movies in particular. But it seems today that Action movies are filled with them same things over and over again. You basically have an impossible plot, A handsome looking hero who at times can do things that god himself would envy, a sinister Villain, and the trump card of all action movies – Big budget special effects. This doesn't make them bad, but at times it gets a little repetitive. Screenwriters know this all to well. That's why in a sequel they try to bring in something fresh, something different to catch the attention of the viewer as quick as possible...this unfortunately, is sometimes greatly over looked. In 1994 "The Crow", was released in theaters nation wide and was an instant hit. It was a considered an Action-Love story with the tragic hero played by the late Brandon Lee, the son of Martial arts master Bruce Lee. In the Film, Lee's character, Eric is brutally killed by a group of thugs as his girlfriend is forced to watch and then she to is killed. Because it was such a terrible crime, he's allowed to return to life for 1 day to get revenge on the killers. Seeing its success, a sequel was made two years later entitled, "The Crow: City of angels." Unlike the original, it flopped at the box office, despite its decent thirty million-doller budget and massive amount of advertising.
             The reason it flopped is a simple one, it's plot was virtually the same as the original whereas the only difference was that the main character, Ashe, played by Vincent Perez, had a son who was shot and killed alongside him by thugs instead of a girl friend, like in Eric's case. However, even though the movies plots almost identical, both Eric and Ashe, have several qualities that make them the only things in the movies that aren't repetitive
             Will start with Eric. Eric is a young man, no more then twenty-five. He's the lea...
