Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Michael Ledo It starts out innocent enough. A reinterpretation of King Arthur and the Roman empire. Some more histories based on one iota of fact. Then we get a retelling of Robin Hood and stories of the Middle Ages, Shakespeare, and the next thing you know Abe Lincoln is killing vampires and zombies. Now Poe. It seems the liberties with history has become progressively worse.This is a fictional story using the real character of Poe, his works, that fact he lived in Baltimore and not much more. The writers of the script wanting to ward off such criticisms have Poe ask, "Is imagination a felony?" Poe teams up with Detective Fields (Luke Evans) and Captain Hamilton (Brendan Gleeson) to find Emily (Alice Eve) who is being held by a man who is killing people in the manner of Poe's tales.There were a number of things that I didn't like in this blockbuster, first being Cusack's portrayal of Poe himself. It wasn't convincing for me. The opening scene of a full moon, a raven, and a woman screaming was a little too cliche. I felt insulted that the writer thought he could get away with such a shallow script. This is not a good horror story, not a good slasher film, not a good pseudo history, not a good mystery, and not a good love story. It does have a certain amount of appeal to it, but nor worth to go run out and see.Poe fans do not need to feel they have to rush out and watch this film. The film doesn't really catch his genius and madness.Parental guide: one F-bomb, no sex, no nudity, some Alice Eve cleavage. No music by the Alan Parson's Project.

tychoi There was a series of murders which were related to Poe stories. One of the victims was Poe's lover. So Detective Fields and Poe tried to save her. Finally, they succeed in saving her. The message of the movie is real love. Because he loved her, Poe gave his life for hers. I think she was Poe's real love. This movie is an adaptation from Poe's works. In this movie, portrayals or main characters were expressed very well. In particular, the killing ways are related well to Poe's stories like tell-tale heart, the cask of amontillado and Annabel Lee. These were very intriguing. But you cannot watch this movie anymore the big screen. This movie was in 2012. There are flaws. For example, the murder kidnaps Poe's fiancé even though there were many guards like police men at the party. Besides this, Other things were good. So I can give this movie an 8 out of 10

lrauber The Raven is a thriller movie. The hero is one of the most famous American writer Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar was suffering poverty and always drunk. One day, a murder incident was happened. The way of the murder was similar to the trick written in one of the his writing "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" so he was suspected. After that some murders, which also had similar tricks to writing of him, were happened. In addition , his lively woman was kidnapped by the murderer. This movie is mesmerizing for fans of Edgar Allan Poe because we can watch many tricks Edgar made. we can also feel the period of the time he lived from town, clothing and people. ideally I would rather the actor of Edgar acted more intelligently

chaswe-28402 It has to be said. Nevermore. There, I've said it; and I guess the authors felt like saying it too. Why is the film titled The Raven ? The authors struggled, I guess. It must have been someone else's idea. I sat all the way through it, but I wonder why. Sometimes a film is so eye-stretching while you watch it that you can't tell if it might be abysmally brilliant. Occasionally, what you thought was appalling improves with longer acquaintance. I'm sure this is not the case here, however, which is why I'm getting in with the aptly fitting "Nevermore".Several reviewers have pointed out that the dialogue was wildly anachronistic. The acting was journeyman workmanlike, but not very good. The girl was sweet-looking, but spent most of her time spattered with earth, wedged between horizontal parallel planks. What had she ever seen in Edgar ? He was irremediably uncharismatic. In the end the butler did it, but there wasn't much to go on. I thought for a long time the girl's father was a possibility, because he was so unlikely. He might have been planning to stitch up Poe, the unwelcome son-in-law. Perhaps that's what I was meant to think.I found this disc sitting in my collection, but if I'd already seen it once it had totally erased itself, in every respect, from my consciousness, which shows you how unmemorable it was. Nevermore. The idea was marginally interesting, so it gets an extra star. The team that made this hybrid was stunningly cross-national. Their names covered Europe, and the never-ending end-credits made intriguing reading.
