The Movie Details

First, let me start by saying that this review is the point of view of an avid movie lover and a Poe fan. I am in no way a rabid fangirl of Edgar Alan Poe, although I enjoy his work. With that said, the raven was a nice film with a literary twist.
The concept itself is pretty amazing, especially the juxtaposition of Poe, his work, and a murder mystery. The namesake comes from his poem with the same title and runs parallel to it in some ways with similar themes. The story of the film takes place in the last few days of Poe's life, which is historically quite interesting due to the secretive manner in which Poe on a park bench confused the name "Reynolds" was found. The Raven uses this stuff.
John Cusack plays Edgar Allan Poe and a wonderful job. I had my doubts at first, because he is so over dramatic at first, but it is possible that the character is supposed to be that way in the beginning. As the film progressed, he toned it down and have a relatable and heroic character in Poe. Luke Evans, who played Detective fields, was a surprisingly good addition to this film. He is a great actor and character complimented Poe in a way they wonderful to see.
One of y biggest complaints about this movie was bad CG added. I speak SyFy made for bad television. In the beginning, there was a terrible CG of Poe's shadow as he walks down the street. It was a great shot that completely destroyed by the terrible CG. The same can be said about the CGed crows. While I understand the theme and the visual with crows, the CG was just plain bad.
Cinematography-wise, there was some beautiful imagery. My favorite and the one most clearly in my mind is a scene where Poe chasing the killer in the woods, which is completely barren and shrouded in mist. It was a great scene that really CGed crows destroyed. Another great shot, which fortunately is not destroyed by the bad CG, when the killer was a horse and he was wearing a black costume with a skeleton in the front and a skull mask. It was the Masque of the red death in a fantastic scene to represent.
For those looking for historical accuracy, look elsewhere. The crow is a fun fictionalization of Poe's last days and make use of his work and its themes to create a nice movie. Besides, as Abraham Lincoln, a vampire hunter to be able to why Poe help catch a murderer who kills based on his own? I would recommend this movie for anyone who is serious and avid Poe fan, a good murder mystery keeps, and John Cusack love.
