There are plenty of reasons for liking the Crow. Coming back from the dead for vengeance is an ancient plot that has always been popular. Although the so called "goth crowd" might be partly responsible ror it's cult status, it's a movie that anyone can enjoy.
It's very stylized & atmospheric; there was nothing else quite like it around at the time. I'm not so sure why you seem so stuck on the theory that you must be a "goth" to like it; I enjoyed it. The comic was also very popular before it was adapted for the movie, giving the film a large potential fanbase before it was made.
It's got one of my favorite actors, Michael Wincott. The Brandon Lee death most certainly effected the popularity, giving it it's own unique mystique. There's enough action in it to keep it fun and interesting.
So, there you have it: A unique take on a popular storyline with good acting, great atmosphere and enough action to keep it from being too serious. What's NOT to like?
