The Raven (2011)

I heard about this one. A little too unbelievable high concept for my taste. Remember when Michael Jackson was going to play Poe in a movie?

The only movie from the director's credit which I care about is Vendetta. Not sure about the truth in the rumour that the Wachowskis ghost-directed it.
Ninja Assassin was entertaining on the big screen just for the action, very forgettable.
Not seen The Invasion, don't plan to either.
I only hope this is as good From Hell.

I will definitely see this. Poe is my favorite poet. The man was absolutely brilliant. A genius.

Watched this last night. It gets off to a bit of an awkward start as the characters try and establish the mood and tones of what's a period piece. But once it gets going it's really, really good. Solid acting and really great cinematography. Completely enjoyed it.
Oh, and Alice Eve is always a joy to watch.

AHH! So freaking good! I love this movie! I watched it a few nights back and it was a lot better than I was expecting.

^ I was disappointed, for the subject matter it didn't have a very good gothic horror atmosphere. Disappointing film.

I thought Cusack was excellent as Poe and would still have been a good choice had the movie been, say, a biopic.
The movie itself was good but not anything particularly special.

Maybe I liked this more than most of you because I couldn't give a flying **** about Poe? I'm with WT that this could've been any nameless Victorian.

What the hell was with the end credits music? Talk about completely out of place.
Anyways, the film was hit and miss for me. The gothic atmosphere was nice, but the story left me wanting more, not in a good way.
Very mediocre film.
