Review of The Raven (2012)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 03 May 2012

Did Nicolas Cage finally say no to a cheesy role? It looks like John Cusack got to this one first…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 03 May 2012

A movie that relies totally on the talent of John Cusack Hopefully nevermore…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 03 May 2012

The Raven can't quite live up to the promise of its irresistibly high-concept premise…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Tyler Chase (12) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 02 May 2012

Despite the best atmospheric clichés the filmmakers could conjure (lanterns, fog, sewers), there isn't much suspense because you don't care…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 02 May 2012

Fails to fully catch the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, but it's better than the majority of films his name has been attached to…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 01 May 2012

The film, devising events that led up to his mysterious death in 1849, is also the most gruesomely literal-minded of period detective stories…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for Time (1,811) on 29 Apr 2012

Until The Raven almost literally loses itself during a chase in the city sewers, it nicely balances its literary gamesmanship with a R-rated…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Apr 2012

It's a pathetic missed opportunity - and one occasion of actually going broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American public…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Mathew Dekinder (396) for Suburban Journals of St. Louis (395) on 29 Apr 2012

Let's just be sure that from now on we let poor Edgar rest in peace until we have a really good reason to disturb him…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 29 Apr 2012

This movie needs madness and delirium swirling around in it like fog, but all it has is fog…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 28 Apr 2012

Likely to disappoint both literary aficionados and action-thriller fans, the film neither captures the creepy atmospheres of Poe's influential…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Rob Vaux (1,125) for Mania.com (396) on 28 Apr 2012

If you shoot for the moon and miss, it's a long way down. The Raven gives us a front-row seat to the plummet…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 28 Apr 2012

They want it to be 'Seven' meets 'Sherlock Holmes' and you can tell Cusack is into it…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 28 Apr 2012

a semi-gothic horror story so bizarre that it doesn't leave one speculating on the thesis because it's clearly nonsense…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 27 Apr 2012

Basically a well-researched but formulaic mystery centered on one of those nyah-nyah serial killers we've seen a thousand times…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Matt Stevens (135) for E! Online (838) on 27 Apr 2012

Without narrative guts, this not-so-thrilling thriller proves a bloody disappointment…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for CinemaDope (253) on 27 Apr 2012

While not as ambitious or romantic as V for Vendetta ‒ the saga of Edgar and Emily never rises to the level of tragic operetta ‒ 'The Raven…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 27 Apr 2012

It seems doubtful that the creator of such classics as The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum would be satisfied with this cliche-ridden…

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 27 Apr 2012

Review of The Raven (2012)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 27 Apr 2012
