Book of Eli (Spoilers) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I'd give it about 3.5/5. It was a pretty good movie but not great.

[Show spoiler]

.

The one thing that bothered me was the extreme amount of product placement.

Blu Myers · 01-17-2010, 09:51 PM

I give it 4/5 stars. I thought Danzel carried the movie very well and was just perfect for the part. I'm looking forward to watching it again just because of the ending.

The look of the entire movie was very well done. Denzel once again does a terrific job, you don't wanna f*** with him really lol. The fights were brutal and violent. Good mix of action and dialog as well. Overall the movie truly delivered. I'll give it 5 stars, not epic but definitely 5 starts for me.

Wow I feel stupid!! Wow this made me love the film even more! I now want to change my pic to 5 stars!! I was tryin to be honest and not biased so I gave it 4 stars as I rated the film 4.5/5 but wow some of u were right about missing the twist! That is great and now ranks as one of the best twist I have ever seen!! Got Em!!

Again how is he overrated? and How can you justify a blind guy swinging swords like he did with the accuracy he did?

Offender_Mullet · 01-18-2010, 12:39 AM

CZAR,

I would pay huge $$$ to have heard behind-the-scenes conversations with Gary Oldman and Denzel. Just imagine it..........

Denzel: "Hey Gary, you played a drug dealer in True Romance who acts all gangsta 'n shizzle dizzle and what not. Can you give me any pointers?"

Oldman: "Denzel, how do you feel playing the same character over and over and over? I just want to know how it is because I've never done that."

I enjoyed this movie. Good to see Gary Oldman doing what he does best, being the bad guy. Mila Kunis is always a plus and Denzel did a great job. I'm gonna spend another 5$ to see it again.

At some point you missed the fact that these are "fictional characters" in a movie. They can do whatever the writers want. I mean your fantasy man was Superman's dad for God's sake. Where is your disdain for his portrayal of an alien from an advanced society. Or is that more believable to you.

The same thing happened to me, I liked the movie a lot but I totally missed the twist, but when I found out about the twist I saw the movie in a new perspective and I had a greater appreciation for it. I just have to see it again with the new knowledge I have about it. Very good movie

I'm about to see this in about 2 hours. I tried not to read too much of this forum but I think I found out enough. I will be back to let you all know what I think.
