There is no reason whatsoever to remake The Crow. The idea behind the original comic is open enough that there can be any number of takes on it, set in any time and place. All you need is a good script and a few talented actors.
As far as the movies go...
The first is a classic
I actually liked the second as well. They went in a different direction (Other than using the girl from the first as a main character) Visually and musically it worked on it's own level.
The third was ok, but it wasn't original enough (Stole alot from Poppy Z Brite's crow novel)
The fourth with Furlong was just plain horrible. The characters were black-n-white and I found myself not caring at all about any of them
