Great to be surprised
Going into this movie I expected just some great fight scenes andFallout 3 scenery. This movie from beginning to end held my attentionand kept me wondering what and why all the way until the end. I takepride in my ability to see foreshadowing, but this movie did it so wellthat I got shivers at the end. The fight scenes and battles were creatively done, and the actingallowed the story to continue flawlessly. Those who said that theseactors would not fit right in this movie were wrong, every actor had areal character and executed the script perfectly. The production valuewas high, every scene I believed existed and not just a CGI drawnbackground with fake lighting.I recommend this movie to people who are use to the normal story, andhave not been surprised in a movie in a long time. I recommend thismovie to anyone who has played Fallout 3. I recommend this movie toanyone who wants to see a good movie, and escape Avatar's amazing, buthuge shadow.

The Last Survivor of Fahrenheit 451 is a Black Man!
Hard to believe all this hyper-violence started with The Man with NoName and Bruce Lee! 'THE BOOK OF ELI' is a moody, atmospheric, thrillerwith the depth and the complexity of a graphic novel, which is abouthalf a step up from a comic book. Its antecedents are more to be foundin juvenile sci-fi than in works like FAHRENHEIT 451 by Bradbury, ODDJOHN by Olaf Stapelton, or STAND ON ZANZIBAR by John Brunner. However,there are several features of interest that stand out independentlyfrom the narrative that make it an entertaining piece of pop-culturefiction.When taken for what it really is, and met on its own terms, 'THE BOOKOF ELI' succeeds admirably in this post-blaxsploitation period wherethe lead character, being an African American, has '-a plan to sock itto the Man-'. Uh, in this case make it 'Mankind' and in the end in apositive way, if you buy what The Hughes Brothers and Gary Whitta havebeen cooking.Because it is this hodgepodge of pop-culture references, I found itoddly agreeable to my sensibilities. All breadth and no depth, it is acomment on our culture and society in ways it did not mean to be withassertions it didn't intend to make.The truth is it seems quite novel to see a Science Fiction protagonistlisten to an electronic rendition of Al Green singing "How Do You Menda Broken Heart' before drifting off to sleep in the remains of theApocalypse. He may not be able to invent anything, but he can surelip-synch Soul Music! He is a man without a past, wandering theAmerican Wasteland '-with no direction home, like a-'-well, you knowthe rest. Since he has no past, except in the 'TWILIGHT ZONE', he needanswer to no one about anything. There is no need to explain hisexceptional fighting skills since he is a newly minted graduateespousing the Gospel of Clint Eastwood and Kato and Samurai Jack.The grizzly fight scenes are well done poetic ballets, but let's faceit, it is always good to see a Black Man throw down and take no-well,you know the rest. Some of the viewers were really shocked and disappointed and somewhatdisgusted to find out what the book was Eli was protecting. But whenyou consider the ethnicity of the directors and how adroitly AfricanAmericans have used the principles of Christianity to sincerely attainnew freedoms for themselves on an evolving basis and create in theBlack Church the only real institution that they really control, whatother book did you expect the brother to take on his journey? No, youbetter believe Christ Jesus was going to get his props and bump whatyou think and say! The Lord came through when you wouldn't do nothingfor me!The Bible actually represents of course the spiritual values thatenabled Black People to retain their humanity throughout the oppressionand exploitation of slavery, although I am sure the Hughes brothersmeant to convey this message in a larger context. The problem of courseis since Washington is busy playing the Invincible Black Samurai of theWest, he seems more the disciple of Kurosawa that anyone or anything hehas internalized out of the Bible! It is a difficult balancing act toplay the baddest man on the planet one moment and the Lamb of God thenext. Strange to say, that the Hughes brothers nearly pull it offanyway!I like the fact that when bad guy Gary Oldman finally gets his grubbymitts on the King James Version of the Bible, the only person qualifiedto decipher its message is the blind Jennifer Beals. It is suggestiveof the spiritual power and moral high ground women at times seem toassume over men by simply not being the initiators of war, rape andpillage. That somehow, the Good Book now gives power to a brutalizedwoman instead of the man who lusted and killed for such power is aninteresting twist, no matter how inexpertly stated.Anyone who has really researched or understands the primary importanceof the Oral Tradition in African Society will find that the endingparticularly will resonate with them as it did with me. The idea ofgleaning wisdom from a printed page rather than from face to face humancontact did not sit too well with Socrates. He felt that the movementfrom the Oral to the Written Tradition would be a regression ratherthan an advance in human understanding. But to see Denzel Washington'scharacter in the greatest extremity depend upon the Oral Traditionrather the Written Tradition for final success seems uniquely African.It is, as well, an inversion of the final scene between the young boyand the dying grandfather in 'FAHRENHEIT 451'.I would have to say that 'THE BOOK OF ELI', in its war betweenderivative superficiality and what true values endure in the end, turnsout to have a peculiar something going for it. Even when its reachexceeds, as it often does, its grasp.

what Eli saw....
Another Denzel Film, another Apocalyptic Film.Two elements which generally serve to put me off quickly. This film wasoriginally explained and made exciting to me by virtue of its actionelements. More specifically I was told this movie will blow your mindbecause Eli - Denzels character is nothing short of a master offighting skill.I knew nothing of this film, except that it starred Denzel, an actorlost on me for years. I cast this film away in advance of seeing itworried that it may end up as John Q on the longest training day in thehistory of Mad Max' world.I see reviewers take from this film an overtly Christian theme, whileits prevalent it adds for me a certain level of solitude of the film.Plainly if he didn't follow that book, or any religious book hischaracter would come across more as a vigilante rather than a follower.Denzel plays a quiet character void of the actors usual ego andobsessive charisma. He is solemn, but sharp - his interactions with allother characters in the film show his sincerity, this sincerity carrieswith him throughout the movie.The action was as was explained to me in advance, still unexpected - itwas gory, it was fast, it was god-like. It often forced you to questionthe actual history of the Eli, who was he?, what was he capableof?....could he be killed? Another interesting and unexpected elementof the film was the music both ambient and intentional. It plays anactive role throughout, with an industrial score of sharp un-film likeshrills and pre-apocalyptic music. In the early stages of the movie itsets a tone of sincerity and warmth throughout the film. Eli himselffind solitude in music, as a guide.Im not entirely sure what those who did not enjoy the ending expected.By the time the films ending came about, I was without any furtherexpectation, I was seeing what Eli saw and that became the movie.What Eli saw....The book of Eli was a perfectly engaging movie with stunningcinematography abound, moving music, tedious character development anda tone in movies often lost in a world were movie watchers are too lazyto go on the journey shared.For the first time in 29 years I've seen the genius of Denzel in agenre I don't prefer,wrapped up in a Christian theme with thoroughlyviolent action.

surprised
This review is from: The Book of Eli (DVD) I knew that it was going to be intense; but it was much more introverted than I thought it would be.Not as action packed as the other reviews led me to believe, which was fine. It was just very deep and very dark, even though they completed the mission, to me it wasn't completed. After all that, I did enjoy it. Denzel Washington was great in it.

"The Book of Eli" -- A work of art.
Absolutely superb film. I guess there is no category for most bizarre, original opening scene of a film. The surreal element incorporated in the drama is actually frightening, but on a very subtle level of one's consciousness.

May contain spoilers
This movie is about a book Eli carries around with him: The Bible. Yet,the word Bible is not even mentioned in the movie. Why? Did the wordcease to exist after the war? Strange.The plot is simple, a no brainer. Good versus evil. It failed to engageme. Alfred Hitchcock wrote better screenplays and had he been alive torewrite this one, it would have been well received.The film and lighting chosen, for this film, is a character on its own.It is stark, void of color, yet bright in light of day. Perhaps thebrightness sends a desperate subliminal message of hope.It is hard to dislike this movie too much, and hard to like it verymuch. The film is missing depth, heart, and its goal is a simplisticone: the book belongs somewhere in the west.For me, it does not answer: who, what, when, where, why succinctlyenough to get involved in its storyline. Pity, for if the screenplaywas written with greater conviction it may have been more interestingto the viewer.

AWESOME!!
I really like the suspense of the movei and the story line was well thought out and written.Everything is taken place in this post - apocalyptic world with DENZEL as the main character, ELI. The actors were chosen carefully, it seemed because the actors just dived into these charaters personalities!! It reminded me of the book "Farenhiet 451", by Ray Bradbury. Of how books were outlawed and burned and everything was organized by color and numbers. What an awesome movie from beginning to end. It just showed how human beings can become animals and power hungry when something goes out of whack! The plot was that this one book - turning out to be the Bible - is what this fiend is looking for. His reasoning was that this could be used as a weapon - IS a weapon. Of course, you will have to watch the movie to understand why that is. GREAT MOVIE, GREAT ACTING, WONDERFUL STORY LINE/PLOT. OH AND THE ENDING WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. But of course you will have to watch the movie to figure out why!

DVD in Combo Pack Not The Same As SD DVD Sold Individually
This review is from: The Book of Eli [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) Warner Bros. cheated me and everyone else who bought the combo-pack of The Book of Eli by including a 3.35 GB SD DVD in this package. SD DVDs of first run movies normally run 4.5 to 6.6 GB. In order to include the digital copy of this movie on the DVD, Warner Bros. technicians reduced the size of the SD DVD movie to a very low 3.35 GB, for a movie with a reduced color palette that needs every bit of video data to look presentable. The Blu-ray version looks fine, even if it takes forever to load, as you watch a time icon on the screen as the picture boots up. The SD version includes the digital copy of the movie, something I can do without. It is near impossible to watch the SD version on your computer, since the disc is programmed to go into the digital copy installation mode first. With this combo-pack, Warner Bros. makes Walt Disney Blu-ray/DVD packages look good. Walt Disney does not rip you off by selling you a reduced data DVD, even of it does load up the DVD with tons of coming attractions. I thought I was getting a bargain, a Blu-ray for $25 that included the $17 SD version of the movie. If Warner Bros. wants to sell what I consider to be a defective SD DVD, at the least it should state on the package that the enclosed DVD is an altered version not as good as the standalone SD DVD.If the past is any guide, The Book of Eli's DVD and Blu-ray's prices should be going down in a month or so. The Amazon price for the Blu-ray of $25 is worth it if you have to have the Blu-ray now. I consider the SD DVD in this combo-pack a consumer ripoff by Warner Bros.About the movie The Book of Eli...excuse me, I have run out of time, too busy slamming Warner Bros., so I am unable to comment on the movie now.

Utterly preposterous
This was an utterly preposterous, over the top, self-absorbed filmabout how religion can re-start an entirely new civilization --- eventhough it was religion that apparently was to blame for triggering thenuclear holocaust in the first place. What's worse the filmmakers, in anot too subtle storyline at the end, set the stage for a sequel, as ifanyone really cared. This has to be among Denzel's most embarrassing movie moments in hisotherwise excellent film career. Why he chose to do it remains amystery. The director and writers hit you over the head with referencesto biblical themes and utterances. Never more so than at the end, whenthe librarian on Alcatraz (yes, the prison) positions the only knownversion of the King James bible between the Torah and the Kuran. Thatmay be a pop corn moment for young teens, but for adults the scenecoughs up phlem. This is an anti-intellectual film. It chokes off any thought. There areno deep insights in the movie. In fact, there is nothing deep about itall except the producer's pocket to pay Denzel's fee. The worst messagethe film sends out is that without the bible, humans are utterly lost.According to the story, there is no way people can distinguish rightform wrong without the "book." Human beings, say the filmmakers, areincapable of showing any moral values ---unless they receive divinelight. What a laughable premise. As for the producers behind thismovie, I say remove your names from the credits. I can only help yourcareer.

Confused?
This is a strange one. I sort of liked the film but it didn't grab me,yet at the same time it's left me thinking about the whole conceptwhich I'll get to at the end.Eli is a traveller, in a post apocalyptic world. It's dark and almostuninhabitable, directors the Hughes brothers bring a well worked aridand desperate atmosphere, much like in The Road. Eli, played by Denzel,is making his way west across the land, where to? He doesn't know. Why?We don't know. Avoiding road gangs of thieves and murderers until hereaches a small town run by Gary Oldman.No need to guess he's a bad guy, as soon as you see Gary Oldman's namein a cast list you know he'll be the archetypal narcissist villain. Welearn that Denzel is carrying the last King James Bible on the planet,(this being an American film set in America the World clearly ends atthe borders of the USA and we are left to assume it represents the restof the planet) and Oldman want's it for his own dictatorial power.From here you can fill in the blanks, there's no real surprises ( otherthan seeing two English actors, Francis De la Tour and Michael Gambonout in the middle of the Utah desert ) but apart from that the filmfollows a fairly predictable path, lots of poor continuity mistakeswith a slight twist at the end, which although it was a twist, initself it was predictable that there would be a twist.So, it's well acted, good sets and costume design, well producedatmosphere, some great cinematography and not at all heavy handed withthe CGI, even a cameo from Tom Waits. But it's not a fantastic film itsort of drifts toward the metaphorical blue sky at the end and lacks apunch.Now we get to the concept I mentioned at the start. What I don'tunderstand fully is the concept of a Hollywood film about the Bible.Normally Hollywood is so anti Christian it's almost it's own religion,sure they'll make movies about God and Angels and Demons butChristianity or the Bible? The character of Eli says " some peoplebelieve this book caused the war" and yet here he is doing everythingpossible to preserve the Bible. Is the film saying that man is sofoolish he would allow religion to end the world and then preserve thesame religion to do it all again? Or is it saying that even in a timeof abject disaster for mankind, there's still hope because there'sstill God and the Bible is the word of God? I believe, due to some ofthe events which occur to the characters in the film, that it'sactually the later the film is saying. Hope. There's always hope andthere's always God's word. And that's what I'm having a tough timegetting my head round, a Hollywood film promoting the goodness of Godand the sanctity of the Holy Bible? I never thought I'd see the day.6/10

The Road and The Book of Eli - wonderfully similar, wonderfully different
I wrote this essay for the 1/31/10 Sunday Bulletin at the UniversityParish in Tucson (of which I am the Pastor): I have to admit to likingmovies with post-apocalyptic themes. The triumph of the human will orhuman spirit makes for good story telling. Whether it's overcoming theaftermath of some cataclysmic human folly (The Matrix, Terminator) orsurviving the results of some natural disaster (2012), the potential isalways there for a good story, even if the resulting movie is notalways great. There have been a number of such movies recently and Ifound two particularly good and worthy of recommendation to you: TheRoad and The Book of Eli. These post-apocalyptic stories are wonderfulin their common characteristics, but are made even more wonderful bytheir differences. Both left me feeling hopeful.The Film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road is very faithful tothe novel. Set against a bleak backdrop of a world still reelingseveral years after an unspecified cataclysm, the story focuses on afather and son trying to make their way across the scorched land to anindeterminate "south" where they hope they will have a greater hope ofsurvival. Hunger, thirst, and a seemingly never-ending winter are theirprimary obstacles. Every human being that they encounter in theirjourney is suspect because so many have survived by resorting tocannibalism. To the father, this represents the final loss of humanityand he is determined that he and his young son will never fall to it.The key to hope in this story is the love between the father and son.When I read the novel, I found that love so compelling that I could notput the book down, even though it is a hard story to read. The filmcaptured that. Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee were superb as thefather and son. Their performances drew me into every anguish andtriumph of the story.I kept expecting Denzel Washington's Eli to run into Viggo and Kodiwhile on his journey. Less ambiguously, The Book of Eli is set 30 yearsafter an all-out nuclear war. Eli too is on a journey. Guided by avoice in his head (God? The Spirit?), he heads West across the westernUnited States carrying a mysterious book. Like in The Road, cannibalismis a threat in the The Book of Eli, but there are many morenon-cannibals and pockets of survivors. The key to resettlement iswater; but water is not the resource around which the central conflictof this story revolves. The Book turns out to be the only survivingcopy of the Bible  our Bible. In an interesting commentary onreligion, it is revealed that all the Bibles were destroyed in theaftermath of the war because religion had been the cause of the war andits resulting death and destruction. Eli has become the guardian of thesole surviving copy of the Bible and protector of the power in thewords. He is an unwitting evangelist who has so internalized the Wordthat it becomes the driving principle of his life. On the other side ofthe current conflict is Carnegie (played unevenly by Gary Oldman), aman who also recognizes the power of the Word and who will stop atnothing to possess it. He recognizes that the Bible is a powerfulweapon and that whoever possesses that weapon, can control the heartsof men. The Book of Eli is a much more explicitly religious film thanThe Road, but both are filled with religious (even Christian) imageryand both are tales of the most Christian of themes: the triumph of thehuman person. (I have been saddened to see that some reviewers who likeeverything else about The Book of Eli downgrade it because of itsexplicit religious themes ) Neither of these stories ends with theprotagonist(s) walking off into a hope-signifying rising sun or bluesky. The landscape is every bit as bleak in the end as it was in thebeginning. There are still obstacles to be overcome, enemies tovanquish, and miles to travel. The hope does not come in the form of aliteral end to a dark night, but rather, the bright hope of the humanexperience and goodness of the human person. The rising sun at the endof these stories is in the human heart.Generally The Road is a much better film than The Book of Eli. Eliresorts to comic book violence and at one point I characterized themovie as "The Road meets Mad Max."  I did not intend it as acompliment. But both are well worth seeing  and discussing.Unfortunately, The Road has left local theatres, but will soon beavailable on DVD. The Book of Eli is still showing all around town.An aside  while we are on the topic of religious movies don't botherto see Legion, it is literally the worst movie I have seen in the lastten years!

A RIGHTEOUS WARRIOR
Denzel Washington is Eli. He wanders a post-apocalyptic America with the last copy of a book that has the power to revive a society, a culture and a people for good or, if it falls into the wrong hands, for evil. Eli wanders ever westward on a quest guided by dreams and visions. It's a mission he does not fully understand but he knows it requires use of deadly force when necessary and Eli is superbly skilled at exercising his swift, lethal skills. Here's a remarkable film with a strong, stark, visual style. So much better than the empty, pretentious and similarly set The Road. Gary Oldman is the despot who seeks the book for power. Mila Kunis is a naïve waif who discovers something greater. Fine direction from the Hughes Brothers and Washington is memorable as Eli - a righteous warrior who "walks by faith, not sight."
12 May 2012
One of the Best
From Mad Max on, there had been many apocalyptic films till this one.I would say this is one of the best.What I cannot understand was that Empire Magazine would give "The Road" 4 starswhile giving "Book of Eli" 2.5 stars.Are they(Empire) out of their mind?To me, "The Road" was boring and took itself too seriously.The magazine gave "Public Enemy" 4-5 stars which was a total failure of a movie.Enough outrage.God bless you, Denzel!You're great!And Hughes Bros. too!

Will buy Movie
It's not that offten after I watch a movie that I say I will buy it. Well this is one of them. I wasent to sure about it I just expected lost of action wich I got, but what I didnt expect was a great story that was moveing and draws you into the movie. I highly recomend.
12 May 2012
The Book of Eli
After watching the movie twice and doing some reseach, I now understand the son's of Eli. The movie has a good story line without going into to much details of the bible. Denzel Washington is excellent.
TheLittleSongbird 11 May 2012
Definitely not a terrible movie, but it is flawed
There are a few reasons why I wanted to see The Book of Eli. One wasDenzel Washington, who I consider a very compelling actor. The secondwas Gary Oldman, who I consider excellent and underrated, and I lovedhis performances in Dracula and Immortal Beloved especially. Finally,the concept really intrigued me. These three components had all theingredients for an above decent movie. So did I like The Book of Eli?Yes I did like it in some ways, but parts disappointed me.The Book of Eli is great visually, the cinematography, editing andscenery are top drawer, and the action sequences are violent, gory,well choreographed and quite brief. The story is an intriguing one,there were one or two scenes that didn't quite work for me, but I likedthe first 15 minutes or so, I found them atmospheric and brooding. Andin terms of supporting performances/cameos I thoroughly enjoyed MichaelGambon and Frances DeLa Tour here, while Gary Oldman is a charismaticand ambitious villain. I did feel that he struggled slightly with theaccent at first, but as the film went on he was fine. The direction waspretty good too.However, despite these good things I was disappointed in some aspects,and no it has nothing to do with it being religious propaganda. Thepacing I found very sluggish, so some scenes felt rather ponderous, andit wasn't until twenty five minutes or so in until we were given anybackbone to the story or any other major characters. The score I alsofound somewhat generic and repetitive, and while there were some goodmoments the script was lacking. I was also disappointed in DenzelWashington, he looked really charismatic and brooding, but there weretimes when he spoke constantly in a very monotonic level, though I amnot sure whether that was the intention or not. Also I feel hisperformances in Cry Freedom and Remember the Titans were better. As thenaive Solara, Mila Kunis is eye candy if little else. Then came a veryodd and abrupt ending, the whole film just felt unfinished.Overall, a flawed film but I think it is watchable. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Somehow disappointing ... a story from Fallout III should fit better
I was somehow disappointed from this film - it just faded away once Ileft the theater.The good parts:- Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman were very good - Action sequenceswere sharp and well-directed - All post-apocalyptic sets were terrific,resembling the scenery from the excellent video game "Fallout 3"The bad parts (MAJOR Spoilers):- Too many loose ends. - Last minute with Mila Kunis SHOULD HAVE BEENCUT in the editing. You don't end such a film like this. - The biblewas placed in a self where books from other religions where missing.I'm a Christian but I didn't like the statement that the bible is theonly bible worth preservingThe main plot or even one of the sub-plots of the video game FalloutIII would fit this movie better, since Malcolm McDowell lends his voiceto both.

Edge of your seat
This review is from: The Book of Eli (DVD) This movie is very deep and makes you think about yourself. When you watch it the second time you pick up so many more things you missed the first time. The movie parallels our lives on a deeper level with checks and balances.

A solid, if not overwhelming, action film.
A post-apocalyptic action film with Denzel Washington as the hero and Gary Oldman as the villain, with Mila Kunis along for the requisite femme fatale role, and Tom Waits thrown in for good measure? THE BOOK OF ELI had all the requirements to be a first-rate film, a stand-out in the genre. Unfortunately, it isn't. True, it has an interesting premise: a man (Eli) is traveling across the country, carrying the last remaining Bible (not really a spoiler; you kind of know it long before it's "revealed"). Simultaneously, an evil man named Carnegie (groan) is devouring all the books he gets, looking for that one...that holy one. And when he meets Eli, and finds his book, he wants it. Oh, he wants it. The only thing he didn't plan on, though, is how much a** Eli can kick.I will give the film this much: it never quite drops the bottom out on you. And the action is stylized; it's nice to see Denzel kicking butt and taking names. And Oldman shines in an otherwise cliched role. Mila Kunis should probably stick to comedy (remember MAX PAYNE? Me neither), and it's kind of unsettling, having her be the sole attractive woman in the world. The film has its flaws, far too many of them--most of it hinges on the script, which is just pathetic at times. The overt Christian overtones are surprisingly pleasing; they help the film stand out, even if you're not into that kind of thing (and I'm not). Overall, ELI is a film to see if you're a fan of the genre. If you're not, you probably won't like it. It's not as good as its cast and premise would have you believe, but at least it's better than a lot of what else gets handed off as action films these days.

A Typical American stereotype; badass killer good man of god
What is in a bible to matter so much for the rescue of human race? Itis the most common book everywhere; in every hotel room, you find one!Now this guy has to kill so many bad people to take this E=mc2 scriptto a printing facility! What happens next is the rescue of all peoplefollowing its print and availability! Woow! Only a stereotyped red-neckAmerican would buy this absurd story line! Is it a film ordered byUtah? And all the fight scenes go under question with the revelationthat the badass killer is blind! Shouldn't he be carrying a Zen book onmeditation with some Kong-Fu techniques? A total waste of brainpower...
