Was pretty good. :yesway:

The Book of Eli (2010)

Went in expecting Mad Max, and for the first half hour or so it is (kinda), but then it takes a bit of a turn towards something a little different.

Worth watching. Denzel is good as always, and Mila Kunis is also pretty good in it. The more I think about it, Kunis is good in pretty much everything she's in. :yesway:

 

[jaxadam]

I'll have to check it out.

Watched this a couple days ago, I really enjoyed it. Everyone did an excellent job. I'm pretty sure I could enjoy Gary Oldman in pretty much anything :lol:

Yeah, I've been really surprised lately with how far she's come as an actress, and this was a big step in the right direction for me.

I dunno, I was pretty unimpressed. I saw both plot twists coming a mile away and didn't really enjoy the pacing or the concept too much; seemed a little preachy and overblown to me.

To each their own. Some reviews I saw were from people who completely picked it apart, just like they do with every film they see - it makes me wonder why they actually watch movies in the first place other than to sit back and nitpick. (To each their own again, I guess. )

I was entertained, plot twist was cool, and post-apocalyptic anything is tr00 and grvm anyway. :metal:

 

[Josh]

I'm guilty of a bit of nitpicking, but only if the movie wasn't fun. I liked the hell out of the new GI Joe flick

The twist in this one did the same thing to me as Shutter Island, where I guessed it pretty early in the movie, but they managed to make me forget that I had guessed it until the reveal, leaving me thinking "Oh yeah, I knew that, I was right I guess" :lol:

And actually, both struck me as movies that would be interesting on a second viewing, this one even more so.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

I saw it Sunday. Yeah, it's not Citizen Kane, but it was decent. Denzel is really good in it, and he's a major badass in the flick, to boot. Mucho ass kicking. And Mila is fucking gorgeous, as usual.

Not too bad. Worth a poke. Er... look.

I like Denzel in everything too. Dude's looking old these days though, which makes me feel old.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

:agreed: "King Kong ain't got SHIT on me!"

One of the best movies and performances ever.

My old roommate has a running joke with me that I have a man-crush on Denzel. :lol: One upon a time I was hell bent on having a giant DVD collection, and I had just about every one of his movies. He noticed it one night and never let me live it down. :lol:

 

[The Dark Wolf]

I dig Denzel myself, so I can't hate on ya.

 

[jaxadam]

I've heard a couple of mixed reviews, but nothing to where I won't at least give it a shot.

 

[Christopher Bechtel]

I saw it and liked it. I was expecting more action than I got but it was still cool. It did kind of drag on at times.

 

[Drew]

I hear Tom Waits has a cameo in it as a storekeeper, which is enough for me.

:agreed: I don't know how I forgot that :lol: It was a small-ish part, but he did a good job with it. I mean, he was basically still Tom Waits, but he did it well :lol:

 

[Jason]

:bump: watched this a week ago bad ass. Found this thread searching for Shutter island. :lol:

 

[Stateless]

They set up a really cool post-apocalyptic environment, but the plot with the book was too fucking ridiculous to bear.

He plays the Devil ( Mr Nick) in the Imaginaium of DR Parnassus :lol:

I liked the book of eli quite a lot. as well

 

[Naren]

I've seen this movie several times and I really enjoyed it. I don't understand the criticism at all.

I dig Denzel myself, so I can't hate on ya.

Same here. I love Denzel and will watch a movie based on nothing else than the fact that he's acting in it. :lol: Definitely one of my favorite actors.
