We enjoy any movie that Denzel Washington is in and this one was no exemption. Gary Oldman is a terrific actor, has the ability to make you hate him. We first noted him in the movie "LEON". He was a doped up police detective that…

This movie is rated R because of the violence. Still, I enjoyed the movie it had Denzel Washington as the main character. This movie is similar to the Mad Max movies in that this movie takes place in a dystopian society. I think mankind…

What a disappointment.
I was eager to see this one.
The gritty feel of the images
and the prominence of Denzel Washington
made me anticipate something special,
but I was soon disillusioned.
There is only one significant…

Massively underrated post-apocalyptic movie. Denzel Washington was at the peak of his career and delivered a solid performance as always. Well choreographed action sequences. Loved the semi-twist at the end. One of my favorite movies to…

This is a 2010 American post-apocalyptic fantasy directed by the Hughes brothers.
The story revolves around Eli, a nomad in a post-apocalyptic world, who is told by a voice to deliver his copy of a mysterious book to a safe location on…

This movie is plodding, and very slow, meditative even, in its pacing. The story is developed well, and all the acting is very good. The movie is intriguing in the execution of its concept, because it seems to play with both sides of its…

Really not worth the wait. A post apocalyptic bible thumper? Like it matters.
There is one excellent fight scene in the bar. Heads will roll.
The cinematography is well done and I enjoyed the tint of the color that was used.
Otherwise,…

While the graphic panoramas of post apocalypse America were mesmerizing, I found it hard to believe that a man who remembered every word of the Bible would kill his way across the continent.
Practise what you preach, buddy!

On one hand, I like the fact that literature (and by extension, knowledge) is considered a treasure that must be protected. On the other, “The Book of Eli” is just a bit too religious for my taste. The zealotry displayed by the…

The Book of Eli ---- (DVD - 2010) This is just another Slash and burn Video ---- The world ends as anyone left alive can remember ---- No Law, Morals hard to find. So I stuck it out to see where it would go. ---- Denzel should have left…

Post apocalyptic movies are sometimes better. Most of them are worse. Not a sad, slow pace like The Road and not pedal to the metal like The Road Warrior. Sort of in between, with a fun plot that takes a nice twist. A good post apocalyptic…

The overall premise of this book was okay, but fell short of what I expected. The fact that "the book" turned out to be a bible, was somewhat unbelievable, as I can think of many other books that would be more valuable to a struggling…

Not an action movie. this is a symbolism movie. not bad but not what was advertised. very very slow to start. also issues with the sound as far as speaking. but the premise of the movie has merit. it's not bad.... not good but not bad.
