I Adore ANYTHING John Cusack Is In!

I have "ConAir"; "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil"; just to name a FEW of the John Cusak movies I own. And now, "The Raven". Its not my favorite John Cusack movie-that would be "Midnight In..."-but it IS an amazing demonstration of the breadth of J.C.'s talent as an actor. Edgar Allan Poe would be tough character for OLIVIER to portray, but Cusack delivers the tortured, emotionally lost Genius as an Everyman...an Everyman who just so happens to be able to tap into the Darkness that exists in ALL of us. A great, but sometimes hard-to-watch movie. I'd give it THREE thumbs up...if I had 3 thumbs...Read full review

Intensely Fun

Despite a few gory parts, this was an enjoyable and modern twist on Poe's life and writings. My mother wouldn't enjoy it but for those of us who dare to admit that we are Poe fans, it's an entertaining flick. John Cusak nailed Poe's quirky personality and I appreciated the human side of Poe being depicted rather than simply showing his freaky side.Read full review

YOU GO POE!

I am a big fan of the Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. I read a lot of his short stories, like The Tell Tale Heart, The Monkey's Paw, The Cask of Amontillado, and many more of Poe's writings from the Nineteenth Century. The Raven is an interesting perspective on Edgar Allan Poe brought to modern day film making. Wonderfully portrayed by famed film actor, John Cusack. The Raven, is set in 1849 Baltimore. During Poe's lifetime. I, being a History Major in College, and a Civil War Reenactor, I was quite taken by The Raven's attention to historical details. The Raven is a fun, exciting, and a creepy experience.Read full review

M. Dupin = Edgar Allan Poe?

John Cusack's portrayal of Edgar Allan Poe placed in the situation of pursuing a serial killer using
his writings as the basis for crimes is engaging. Cusack's Poe is seen as an addictive personality
balanced by his work as an author, journalist, poet. The actor really does justice to the character
in the context of the story.

The Raven- John Cusack

Great movie..! A bit sad at the end, when Edgar Allen Poe dies while sitting on a Park Bench.

TWO MOVIES HAVE THIS TITLE. I PREFER THIS ONE WITH JOHN CUSACK

THE RAVEN WAS A WONDERFUL PORTRAYAL OF EDGAR ALLEN POE. ACTING WAS CONVINCING AND MUCH OF THE STORY WAS TRUE.
