Default The Book of Eli

Denzel Washington walks the post-apocalyptic landscape in The Book of Eli. The book in question is the last remaining copy of the King James Bible, and a small-town warlord (Gary Oldman) is willing to kill to own its power. Also starring Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals and Ray Stevenson.

Have you seen it?

If so, please share your thoughts.

I saw it, and was a bit disappointed. It was an interesting idea, somewhat, but the script was sloppy; there were WAAAAAY too many instances of Denzel's character basically being saved by "the power of God" as a cheap way out of an otherwise insurmountable situation - hailstorms of bullets missing him, near-instant recovery from wounds that were thought to be fatal, etc. Talk about "deus ex machina" to the extreme!

Yeah if the power of god is protecting him then the book should be a bit more special then simply the last bible.

I thought it was an awesome movie. I thought Denzel Washington was really good and Mila Kunis played her part very very well. Loads of action and awesome fight scenes. Very interesting premise too, I felt the plot was quite different from anything else.

In saying this, I am a sucker for Post-Apocalyptic films. I loved The Road and any films that are along these lines. Regardless, if you like action movies you will probably like The Book of Eli.
