This was an awesome movie, kinda bogged down in some parts, but all in all it was well worth the watch. Especially, as others have said, how the ending turns out. |

This movie was kind of slow, but it kept my attention regardless. What came out in the end I was not expecting. |

The search for the most important book. |

Too often in today's action films, we as viewers are forced to witness a barrage of unnecessary excess. It almost seems as if some directors feel it is their duty to constantly bombard us with more, more, more—more blood, more action, more CGI, more machine gun-like imagery, etc. Add in the loud metal music and strobe-light effects and we might as well be at the club. This need for more has become such a focal point that many creators in this genre are forgetting the principle duty of film-making—to tell a story. This is what sets The Book of Eli apart. Although its post apocalyptic premise could have easily warranted much of the same nonsense that we have sadly become used to, this movie instead chooses to avoid all the fluff and focus on the more philosophical elements of the story.

Pretty good |
|
I was surprised at how much I liked this movie. Denzel Washington is great at Eli. Eli is and unlikely short of character, but Denzel really sells it, I always like his less flashy characters. Gary Oldman is also great, but that is to be expected. Mila Kunis was surprisingly believable, though I thought they portrayed her as a bit naive and soft for the world she was in at the beginning. Its a lot like mad max, but quieter. The violence is all shot beautifully. Overall, a very enjoyable if not terribly original movie. |
