James McTeigue has made a very slickly produced film. Great production value, but the story just isn't really up to snuff. And any Poe fans will probably squirm seeing him forced into a Sherlock Holmes wannabe film wether he fits there or not.
I was surprised this one didn't get a theatrical release here, but though it looks and sound like a good film it's missing something. It should either have gone darker to match Poe's sensibilities or it should have just been more fun. I dunno, it wasn't all there for me.
