“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” – Confucius
Runnerbird says: "I once heard someone say that vengeance and opposable thumbs are what separate us from the animals. Revenge is an emotion everyone can relate to and understand because we’ve all felt it. The need to correct a perceived wrong against our person is, after all, the basis of our justice system. It is those tales that are set outside the legal system that have intrigued us the most. Perhaps we don’t like to admit it, but when our heroes seek and carry out their revenge, we love to cheer them on. Revenge films offer us a safe place to live out one of our basic human desires – to get even, the cost be damned. Here are some of notable revenge films that should satisfy your “eye for an eye” appetite."
The 1994 movie “The Crow,” directed by Alex Proyas is a cult classic and achieved cult status not only because the film is a masterpiece but Brandon Lee’s portrayal as Eric Draven has been set in stone and the reimagining of the cult classic, is not only a risky idea as a new idea or retelling needs to hit all the notes correctly in order to honor the lore, comics and the performances of the original that most people will remember and to be honest, this one missed the mark.
The audience’s predictions were right about this one – The Crow reboot is next-level bad.
After The Crow reboot, it's time to put this franchise to bed for good.
The Count of Monte Cristo was another great revenge film
Ah I want Kill Bill on Blu-Ray, but I'm not getting it until an uncut color version of the massacre is available...
What about 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin - that movie was so cool or catch it's remake Mel Gibson's 'Payback'
I'd say The Crow and Kill Bill are right up there at the top of the list.
