The Raven Blu-ray PRE-ORDER

[Sky_Captain]

If you's asked this two days again, before I sold it on.

[BenBubb]

Can't believe there isn't more talk of this film on here I have heard that it is pretty good.
Also I cannot find it on bluray in store anywhere, I don't know if it is an online only thing but I have been to multiple supermarkets and Hmv stores and no where does it! Will order it online but I do think it's strange!
Anyone else had the same problem?

Such an average movie though....

Not bad but there are so many films that do everything that this does but better. Honestly its not worth buying for over £6

[Sky_Captain]

It's dire. John Cusack deserves a Golden Raspberry for his bizarre performance.

You're not Nic Cage, son.

There was an official thread and news post for the UK release, but it seems like it disappeared in the crash.

I couldn't find it in any stores ended up getting it online, thought it was ok but it seemed that they were trying to make an American version of Sherlock Holmes.

I was so excited for this movie after watching the trailer but it turned out to be very bad. I will not add this movie in my collection even for free. I just hate Cusack's overacting in this movie and there are so many plot holes and mistakes as well. Glad I didnt blind buy it which I was almost!

What is the audio specification ?

[JimDiGriz]

For a second I hoped this thread was about the much more entertaining Vincent Price / Peter Lorre / Boris Karloff film!

And Id buy that on blu but certainly not the new one...

Thanks, good to hear as was getting worried all the sites that listed it as DD 5.1 were correct!

Slight bump but I finally got around to buying this. Did a BDInfo scan so anyone wondering about the differences to the US release spec-wise can measure up the comparative info.

Keen to see this despite the general consensus. I've enjoyed James McTeigue's other films and I'm a big fan of John Cusack so I think I'll end up liking it more than most. I get the feeling it has a similar approach to From Hell and if that's the case I have no problems - I liked that more than most too.
