Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
The book of Eli is the book of God. The movie is about a world where humanity lost everything including civilization, cultures, religions and races. only one copy of Bible is left in the destructed world. Eli, Denzel Washington, took this responsibility to carry this book to a safer place in the West. During his journey to West, Eli walks for many years and remembers every word of King James Bible. As a pathfinder he has to face the the ugly face of humanity...
Wha?? I can't even believe anyone would hate this movies. This is a great post apocalyptic movie!
I must agree with, as far as the realism is a concern, bad..... He kills everyone behind his invisible shield of can't touch this and drops everyone like they were two feet away. All I liked was the fallout aspect which was cool, meh I watch it again.
I was angry at myself for sitting through the whole thing! 30 years to walk across the USA! This film starts off bad from here and only gets worse. I would rate much lower than 1 star but that is the lowest the scale would go. Bad bad bad!!!
horrific!! Don't waste your time. It's really that bad!!
glad i watched it nice twist at the end
Well Done
A movie that entertained me from beginging to end.
not great, just ok to watch.movie got a bit boring.
after watching this movie, I couldn't decide if I liked it or not - which tells me that I likely didn't, although I am a big fan of Denzel. Unfortunately this movie has too many holes to make a good film (or a franchise which it obviously wants to become). Kulis and Oldman provide good performances. But, the movie is a bit too weak to keep everything together.
One of the most cringe-inducing movies I've ever seen. I'm a big fan of Denzel's, but this movie is total crap. Credibility is stretched beyond belief (10 people behind barriers shooting at one person in the open, and the person in the open kills all the others without getting hit once). I managed to stick it through to the end, but only 'cause I had nothing better to do. If you want a much better movie of a similar genre, check out 'The Road'.
excellent movie, will watch again
loved it from the start till the end
Best movie I have watched in a long time.
wrost movie ever waste of time and movie
Definitely an interesting one...I sure liked it! :D
The Story is somewhat original, but basically a Mad Max redux type movie with below average suspense and action, without Denzel this movie would have been a B or even a C class, I think Vin Diesel would have fit the role better. RgF
Eli comes from the greek word Eloi witch means "my God" in the bible its found in Mark chapter 15:34
I think that it was a great movie that can catch a lot of people's attention. I also think it was very well planned and i loved how they did the plot.
boring, confusing and a piece of crap movie. I don't think Denzel can make a good movie. He's certainly lost my attention. I was surprised that Gary Oldman was in this movie, cause he is usually a great actor. I would've walked out except my husband wanted to see the ending. But both of us agreed this was one movie to warn people not to waste their money ... in either the theatre or on video.
Will Denzel ever make anything good again, another piece of &^%$.
Not what I expected, well written
Okay a little long with not a lot of substance...Denzel is violent...okay but I'd save for video
story would have been good except for the girl at the end...see it to find out what I mean. to cheasy and would have been epic if they left it at the twist.
Not bad, but who cares.
Terrible. Period.
Kill me now! At least I got to catch up on some zzzz's.
great storyline and very compelling
thought provoking -willsee it again
what can I say, protector of the greatest book ever!!! excellent movie, great plot.
Good movie. I'm not religous but I liked the movie and the ending. And I love Mila!!!
YIKES! this one really didn't do it for mwe. So slow and painful to watch.It's a good film for people who like action and no real story...OR DUMB story anyway. Sorry Denzel...and I usually like your stuff.
A little ify going in, but it turned out to a pretty good movie! the ending was a little crap, left it open for a sequel in a way. But other than that good movie!
Are you kidding me???!!! This movie was terrible! Very disappointing considering Denzel Washington is in this...but the story is weak, slow, plodding and though you're led to believe it's leading to something 'good', the big reveal is a huge bust and we were left thinking "That's it, seriously??!!" Save your money.
We were really disappointed. We assumed it would be good, given the star actor, but at the end of the movie, we felt it was 2 hours wasted from our life. Perhaps if you are a religious type of person, this movie might be for you. It is hard to say we disliked it so much without giving the movie away for others, but perhaps by saying we didn't find it had much of a story line, and we felt betrayed as viewers at the end when it didn't pull everything together into something we felt we could swallow.
A decent film , especially in a genre that tends to be more action-driven . Not an " instant classic " , by any means , but at least worth a watch.
Excellent Movie
I liked it, but the plot moved slow. Otherwise very good movie
Excellent mvoie, and very original. Surprised this hasn't gotten higher ratings.
Enjoyed it from beginning to end.
Good overall, but the cynical idea that humanity can't survive without Christian insight is totally ridiculous. I suppose all other forms of faith are meaningless?
Great movie, has a good storyline. I found it slow in some areas, but overall very thought provoking. I would see it again.
Excellent! Excellent! I will definitely go and see it again in the theatre. I can not get it out of my head. I'm a 42 year old woman and I saw it with my 15 and 20 year old sons who also thought it was great. It was my 20 year old son's 2nd time watching the movie; he recommend it. My 15 year old son starting reading the Bible when he got home. Awesome movie!
sweet movie
pretty good story, unique, havnt seen a movie like it.
this movie summons to contest the intelligence, the abilty to cope with the understanding of faith. those who dont understand or didnt like for some reason. may not know deity of our Lord Jesus and his holy word;the bible. i pray that once you finish the movie you walk away thirsty for the divine truth. read your bible, learn and act on it. dont lets others deviced you nor discourage you. God Bless you all.
saw it twice. All you need is an open mind and you're set. if you are undecided as to what you want to watch, this is the choice to make. Its not like "hey you're a christian go see this movie." its more on the side of how the government uses christianity against people, and how staying true to yourself and others. Just watch it. Soak in its message and live with the morals it teaches. :P
Great movie. I think this is pretty close to becoming reality, the planet has been here billions of years before mankind and will be here that much longer after every one is gone. I think if there is a spark of life left the earth will comepletely renew itself no matter how foolish mankind is. 5*
Very good movie!!!
one of the best i've seen in while
