Even if you loved the movie, own all of the comic books, idolize Brandon Lee, and can remember the name of that guy who replaced him in the sequel, you won’t want this collection of Crow crud.
The title begins with a crow flying into an abandoned cathedral, which turns into your interactive center. You can twirl around with panoramic QuickTime VR to choose any of 11 subjects based on the film and comic books. It’s pretty.
Pretty superficial, that is. Say you want to learn the real cause of Lee’s unusual death, and you want the details, not some candy-coated explanation you’ve already heard a thousand times on “Entertainment Tonight.” Guess what? In this incomplete collection, you only learn that the death was... “tragic.”
Eager worshippers will be even more disappointed when they kneel down at “The Brandon Lee Shrine” (their words, not ours) to find only a four-paragraph bio on their ill-fated idol. No pictures of Brandon swinging as a tot. No exclusive interview with Cousin Ernie. No reason to buy this disc.
