Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Without exaggeration, this is the worst film I have ever seen. Excruciating dialogue, poorly fleshed out characters ( no pun intended) and murky visuals combined with poor sound.I realise this was a low budget movie, but so was Deadtime, and while that's no masterpiece, it stands head and shoulders above this.It really does resemble a 1980s direct to TV film.Please avoid this, there are many many other films out there that deserve you attention more than this.This seems to me like a cheap cynical exercise in cashing in on the Poe connection, when in reality, other than a tenuous connection to the main character, this offers nothing about Poe.

This is one of those movies where you find yourself wondering whether the financiers committed suicide upon seeing how much of a disaster the project turned out to be. Apart from the wooden acting, the continuity sucks, the premise is just stupid and unbelievable, and did I mention the acting is terrible. Its not often that I can't make it through at least half of a film - just in case it just got off to a bad start and improves in the second half. This film however, only held me for about 20 minutes and that was all I could take. So to sum up - this is the worst film I have ever seen on every measure you want to consider. Please don't even waste your time watching the trailer. The only possible use this film could have is as a replacement for water-boarding. You have been warned!

One of the reasons I created an IMDb account is because sometimes, there are things you don't wish upon your worst enemy, and this movie is one of them. Personally, I think this kind of garbage should be rated Z, and it should be made obligatory for this sort of non-productions to have a big fat red Z on the cover so that everyone is warned that the product is an insult to 'below average'.The acting is awful. The story is awful. The effects, I won't even call them special, are awful. This movie is so awful that even the shoes of the cameraman's nephew's mother in law are awful, and they're not even in it. To be honest, I'm just trying to fill the 10 lines to get this over with JUST TO WARN QUALITY MOVIE ENTHOUSIASTS NOT TO WASTE THEIR TIME, so I can go do something interesting, like learning how to knit.Do yourself a favor. Unless your IQ is below 65, don't watch this, because it will go below 65 once you do. What the... Am I drooling??!??

I own about 3,000 movies, I have watched movies from the beginning of my time, and I am not a such a young person, so, it's so easy to define a terrible waste of time like "Poe". The acting is like watching cardboard character (s), often it seems like they have the script in front of their eyes and away from the camera, it is like they keep rehearsing instead of filming, if this is a low budget film, it does not justify the effort! If you'd like to give it a shot, have the lights on, look at the screen from time to time, then read a book or a magazine,walk to the kitchen and fix a sandwich, without pausing this movie, there's nothing to miss believe me! If you watch this you may ending up saying "Okidoki" and not in a good way! And I changed my vote from two stars to one star, just to emphasize how bad this movie is.
