Book of Eli Movie Review: Beyond The Trailer

[elfirrepins]

One sentence review: This movie was solid but not strong.

7/10

[Ryanmiller70]

This movie was great. There was a lot of action and Eli is one of my favorite main characters because of one simple thing. He can say NO to a girl. I don't get why in a lot of movies, there's a girl that wants to go with the main character on a journey and they always let them. It's just stupid. Women don't deserve that kind of power in a movie. My favorite scene is when he locked her in that cave. That was hilarious. 10/10

[Envenomed69]

Although i like Denzel Washington & Gary Oldman as actors,I felt that this movie was garbage

[UTBESUX]

I rely solely on Beyond The Trailer & of course the people and what they say before I go see a movie

[Abozai7o]

that word 2 the whatever is talking about bible and say it's (spoiler) (grace). what is your religious Because your religious is soooooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaad..... ur word say that

[myrose12221]

Nice movie! Watch it Full : new-movie. net

[cardinalbaseballer5]

The Book of Eli was amazing.

[sexyhotlowrider]

Heres my one sentce, U SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WickeddArtist]

@sexyhotlowrider nice spelling pal. next time you want to tell someone off, spell it correctly.

[AbigailRowe05090]

wow, good movie its available to watch at 'bigmovies4free' - I enjoyed it, shame cant watch 3D on the computer tho lol not quite the same! lolgreat acting!

[MovieWriterReese]

Denzel can fill any role. The greatest.

[xboxguy0105]

YUP!!

[optimuspecs]

Denzel only 2 times at the top? In all DW movies he was the leading man. Gary Oldaman just had the luck to have a role in bluckbusters as batman and harry potter.Could has been someone else.

[SoulOfTheBboy]

that older guy with the beard is in like every review... wtf?

[venom1145]

why the hell did they bleep what he said

[recruit97]

My name is Eli.

[xochequetsal]

This was one of the best most true to Biblical circumstances movies I've watched in a long time, there are some great twists and the story is pretty good.

[Itachi9511]

The Movie has to be my most favorite movie so far

its totally worth seeing in the theatre.

[Spectrality]

Not to double comment, but how is Tom Hanks an action hero for his roll in the Davinci Code and Angels & Daemons?

[Spectrality]

Is everyone forgetting "Man on Fire"? He was a friggin' badass in that movie...In fact I'ma go watch it right now.

[danmintur]

they were beeping out i think "bible"

[stewnta]

One Word Review ....."Versimilitude"

[AshKilamande]

what were they beeping out?

[obarhollywood]

@AshKilamande they were saying a spoiler

[wlindenlaub]

Everyone that doesn't like this movie seems to either be Athiest or just a douche.

[lolTripal]

So what you're saying is, that as I am an atheist I shouldn't watch this movie?

[wlindenlaub]

Thats not what I meant. But if you are an Atheist, you most likely wouldn't have the same appreciation for this movie as I do.

[cherukugmukalu]

Did you guys know you can see it online on this website onlinehqmovies . com

[Cowboys487012]

they are actually making this into a full length movie! look it up on onlinehqmovies com

[ThamelasStormrage]

The movie had a lot of promise but it falls flat on its face. Movie suffers from inconsistency. When they walk out of the town, they are only gone for a few minutes, yet when the bad guys get in their cars to chase after them they drive like 20 miles. Hello? They are living in a wasteland. Cant you just walk to the edge of town and see them still? This movie was crap...

[ThamelasStormrage]

Also...when Eli shoots the guys in the street...He is using a handgun that doesn't seem to need to be reloaded...

Again, the movie is crap and poorly done...

[TheHumanBush]

stop being a whinny bitch, who cares if he didnt reload the gun, 97% of people (the ones who have lives and dont purposly try to find little things to critizise) didnt notice.

[wlindenlaub]

You don't know very much about guns I'm assuming. I couldn't tell the exact model but it looked like a 9mm, and double stacked 9mm mags usually hold around 13 to 17 rounds.... Can you count that high?

[MistressDemonaUnplug]

This film was done VERY well. I loved Denzel and watching him as a bible-reading-badass really made this film enjoyable to me. The story was well thought out and VERY well executed. I was impressed and I intend on watching it again.

[TheHippyGrass]

Very good film and deserve a 9.5/10

[cruzv77]

9.5

Definitely a new classic. This movie should set the bar for all upcoming movies. It's nice to watch a movie that has a meaningful message.

[ACDC4416]

Crazy good. Do yourself a favor and go see it.

[BR177]

a piece of shit

[bigruub]

I liked this movie. Denzel was good as usual.....

[rnw409]

I went to see this movie today and it came to my mind that even the Hughes brothers and Denzel himself don't realize what they have in this movie. I wanted to instantly take it home to show to my church small group because it has so many scenes that are straight up spiritual and when I came out of the movie, I immediately called my small group team leader and suggested that she get all the small group leaders together and go and watch the movie--only this time, I will be taking notes like crazy

[8MoneyIzmyMission8]

I love post apocalyptic movies, then my boy Denzel is playing the hero. Gotta see it.

[jarettdaferret]

10 for sure, loved it!

[hardworker424]

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Denzel did a great job with his part.

[TheJman10110]

how do i say this..... huh.... i want to plow you.

[tamura808]

osr: good story with strong enough characters and a twist that doesn't go to far and delievers on everything it promises 8.5 out of 10.

[IkilledColMustard]

In the Post apocalyptic future, your henchmen will give you the O_o face when you say T.V.

[Shortfennellkid]

9. great movie. lot of good things to think over in it

[Chicken993]

9.5/10 The Book of Eli is no doubt a brilliant movie with excellent acting, an underrated story, and a twist that noone will see coming.

[Chicken993]

I recommend it to anyone. If you love symbolism and brilliant story telling, then this is a movie that you will like.

[amolirocks]

I thought it was a GOD movie ;)

[RapsTerrorist]

haha

[bellasnook]

Didn't See Yet? Then The Full Mov!e is Now 0n??

You Can Also Google it :D

[ghostinthefog1666]

after watching it i think theyre bleeping out bible because they think it may be a spoiler reference or either the channel owners dont think its about the bible totally, and dont want people not to watch it who are anti religious or another religion.

i do not think it was bleeped for politically correct purposes.

[TheSchreur]

I'm will not lie the fact that these people bleeped out the word Bible is really lame. I'm with you ManOf Wisdom125

[HaloKing3536]

One sentence review: This movie pwned!!!!

[muskydragon]

My one senstance review:

The Book of Eli is one book I don't care to ever open again.

[GhostRider4904]

Why did they bleep out the word bible. if it was because of a spoiler then ok. if its just because some people find it offencive (wich is total BS) then thats also BS

[MarmaladeINFP]

The bleeping was very odd. It makes absolutely no sense why the'd bleep out the word bible.

[GhostRider4904]

ya.

[ManOfWisdom125]

Yeah Bleeping the Word Bible, is showing everyone, how evil this country is...

How close to the end we all are...

The movie was amazing...

[GhostRider4904]

i havent actualy seen the movie yet. (im goin l8R today) but bleeping out the word bible is going a little too far.

[BeyondTheTrailer]

@ManOfWisdom125 We're bleeping it out because it's a spoiler.

- Grace

[gekko56]

@ManOfWisdom125 jup and you just spoiled it for me please remove these comments?

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

just watched this movie today...it was a very cool and fun movie to watch...a lot better than i expected. that first fight scene was awesome too.

[gamenerd323]

I love post-apocolyptic movies! But they still sometimes do poorly!

[mikeg881]

you gotta love denzel! i think this post apocolyptic film was well done. kudos to everyone involved.

i dont have a lot of money to go to movies right now, so I had to watch it on Quick Movie Hub. (google it)

[yogafan6500]

It's great to see the Hughes Brothers back with a new movie. and let's hope The Book of Eli will make plenty at the B.O. in the next months to come. That movie is so cool .

[Makoto03]

Why did they bleep out the word 'bible' in this beyond the trailer?

[thaistomp]

cause its a major spoiler if u aint seen it yet. this movie was one of the best. so brutal and merciless. and it was badass that he was being protected by god the entire time. killing all the evil.

[Makoto03]

oh, i see. Thanks.

[tripthe1]

If Danny says it's a let down, I'll wait for the dollar theatre.

You get FIVE stars for the guy with the Twilight cup.

[deko4848]

Testing testing, did this work?

[I3ui2n]

THE ROAD SUCKED ASS. Book of Eli was SOOOO much better

[Toto77777]

the road is based on best seller book about a father and his son's journey to self discovery did you really expect a dad kicking ass? what did you expect from this movie....

[I3ui2n]

omg, the story telling in "the road" was horrid. The child was over acted to no avail, in the end all i can feel was contempt for that stupid kid. eg. when his dad was shot with an arrow, instead of tending or caring or even questioning the well being of the father, the kid says, NO FATHER, DUN GO AFTER THE MEN THAT JUST SHOT AT US. WTF? that's not innocence, that's stupidity. Also the cannibalism was a theme apparent in both films, but in "the road" it was TOOO harsh and i couldn't swallow it.

[Toto77777]

if you've read the book you understood why the boy acted like he acted. and putting a 300 page book in to a 2 hours movie - some story telling Bull S, is bound to happen because like 10 more hours are missing from the story so thats why you don't understand anything.

and is it just me or are you actually trying to compare drama to an action film?

[I3ui2n]

Hehe, ya I am comparing the movies, not as drama/action but as 2 apocalyptic movies. I understand or at least I can imagine why the boy would be portrayed so, but damn I really hated it. So in my opinion the movie "the road" REALLY SUCKED. I understand if you were a fan of the novel and enjoyed the movie. Maybe I expected "the road" to be somewhat of an action movie as well... my bad

[Toto77777]

apocalyptic or not apocalyptic the road is still drama and book of eli is still an action movie :D

this one was so much cooler only and only because of all of the ass kicking :D anyway lets hope the next post apocalyptic doesn't disappoint in terms of story :D

[urmom573]

0/10

Dump

[Jaboof11]

what word are they beeping out?

[crimsonsamurai09]

made me think of a badass blind samurai in a westernized post apocalyptic world. Twist wasnt too bad either, ppl saying they saw it coming are more than likely lieing as the revelation of it being the Bible wasnt the plot twist to begin with.

[jamesthq]

well probably taking this too far may have to ask a nuclear scientist this but wouldnt 30+ years of non human activity i.e. no heavy factories, cars driving about and your usual Carbon gases building up by 6 billion people today means that the ozone layer would of repaired itself by then? Or am I looking to much into it?

[I3ui2n]

remember he asked the woman if it was the "flash" or "the sun after?" so following what you said. Not alot of young ppl are affected, none if I remember right. And People wearing eye gear are just being careful, better safe than sorry. BTW I dunno how long it would take ozone layer to repair itself so I can't really comment, but I'm sure it has to do with how much damage was done to begin with, and since that's ambiguous, there's lots of wiggle room for the movie to play with

[jamesthq]

yeahw ell what I liked was that it was very creepy watching it. Mad max terminator ect didnt have that very creepy view of a destroyed world well mad max was good gotta admit the emptiness of the Australian outback helped but I watched this and it was really disturbing watching the blasted landscape. I really apreciated coming back and pulling into my driveway with the picket fense and the neatly cut lawn ect not trying to be a hippy about it

[KaizerFaith]

Grace! Put the links to vote in every video description of recent videos for the lazy ppl like me! xD

[MyssBlewm]

It was like "The Road" meets "Zatoichi".

[mirrorbus]

I liked the movies bleak landscape, it was a Western at heart with some comicbook violence and some 80's music video touches. An lots of good British actors to give it weight. Some nice twists. Maybe it had a few product placement issues. but I'd put it alongside with Dog Soldiers, Outpost is quality albeit with a slightly higher budget. 8/10

[jamesthq]

in the book of eli everyone's walking around in designer shades because of the sun. QUESTION I know that it'l iradiate the soil ect but in a nuclear war why would the UV rays from the sun mean that'l people walk around with glasses. I didnt get that

[AltronGenuous13]

The weapons in the war damaged the ozone layer.

A depletion of the ozone layer increases the UV-radiation.

[MonkeyDeLax]

6 bucks?!  Damn my movie theatre charges 10 bucks.

[holylamp831]

i think most theatres charge more on weekends/when the movie comes out, because mine does the same thing

[megadeath45]

If Chuck Norris was black he would definitely be Eli ^_^

[MacNair]

6.5/10

"The Book of Eli" contains an action hero who would receive better justice in a comic book than in this contrived post-apocalyptic movie where his best characteristics are revealed in formulaic movie "twists".

(On a separate note, it is fun to see Mila Kunis take on the apocalypse again since the "Da Boom" episode of Family Guy.)

[mooredriving]

Denzel Washington did a great job portraying a protector of a book that was sought after by an evil man who wanted it for self empowerment.

7/10

This was an action film that made you think - which ended up boring me.

[Malachiluke]

GO DANNY!

[sasdragon]

7/10

While the ending and religious aura may turn some people away the film is beautifully shot and an entirely fun and exciting movie going experience

[EnlaNube9]

What if you had the last copy of the bible on earth and the world was out to destory it?

That's the moive right there!

[luigithekid]

i saw the lovely bones but i really wanted to see this.

[cobaltchurch13]

Seems really obvious as to what the book is.

[narutofan9tf]

in the book does it say "Don't Kill people" ???

[Toto77777]

its okay if you kill people that believe in a different imaginary guy then you do :D

[ConnorGunn]

^Comment Win

[pmoneymcw]

The road only got a limited release, not around 3,000 like this film had I think The Road peaked at around 500 or so screens

[REMsleeper428]

Maybe they bleeped it for spoilers? Although, it's a bit predictable what it is.

[REMsleeper428]

Awesome, they just labeled Danny as a regular. :]

[WarrenWorthingtonIII]

Grace - You really do a great job with these reviews. Rotten Tomatoes is consistently reviewed by people who say what they believe is the common consensus, rather than what they actually think. Especially favouring art-house movies that I'm sure most reviewers rate highly to elevate their perceived intellect.

Your reviews are light-hearted, honest, and presented in a friendly, cool, calm, and approachable fashion.

*ahem* You're also extremely hot.

[BeyondTheTrailer]

Thanks for the kind words, Warren! :)

[whofan210]

6 dollars! omg soo cheap! my theater cost $10.50

Denzel wasn't at his best but the atmosphere makes up for that. Think Fallout 3 Wastelands meets Die Hard Action

One Sentence Review

The movie lacks sufficient build-up to make us care about his journey until it's already over.

[raruenify]

Can't wait to see this :)

[kazalack]

The movie is a let down though.

10/10

[JulianTheGreat01]

Sorry, but that black guy at 2:24 gets on my nerves. EVERY single thing he says is negative all the time! For every movie! WTF kid?! It's like he thinks he should just direct and star in every movie. No offence...(I don't know why anyone would take any.... but no offence)

[TOK1DOK18]

IF WE TEXT ... HOW R WE HELPING???

[cizmthemantiz]

my sentence

Denzel Washington tries to regain his youth and become badass like Tom Hanks but Washington succeeds.

[mohholt06]

I wanna see it kinda looks like fallout 3

[sonicballer8888]

[sonicballer8888]

*word (not work)

[adgAlvarez]

[holylamp831]

[sonicballer8888]

@holylamp831

isn't it kinda obvious though? the movie is called the book of eli, it's obvious that the bible is in it. I haven't even seen the movie either.

[redheadmetal]

one sentence review:

good movie, with good action and an unexpected twist at the end

[FilmBadgersVideos]

[Jordanbe1]

This was an amazing movie! Theres a really cool twist at the end!

[hugohilarity]

One sentence review... Horrible.

[OrcWyvern]

Denzel is an awsome actor and all his movies are good, he makes them good.

I might watch this movie this weekend.

[hugohilarity]

I really don't see the comparison between Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington in anyway..."Eli" is a violent post-appocalyptic thriller and "Angels/DaVinciCode" were not violent thrillers, they were international adventures basically.

[jootca]

I'm seeing it tonight!

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

Does this mean every other movie outside this genre is pre-apocalyptic??

oy vey that's a lot of fear mongering...

[SULLIVAN9876JA]

Great movie, didnt expect the word "b****" to be bleeped on this cause I thought it was obvious what Eli's book was. 9/10 for me

[VigilanteHero]

I really wanna see this movie. I know it's yet another post-apocolyptic film, but I like that kind of genre, not to mention it's got a strong actor like Denzel behind it.

[NayteLayam]

I knew I thought I'd see that guy alot. that BTT Regular guy. :P

[Rocker695]

da trailers of this movie kinda remind me to fall out...lol. but the movie looks sick...ima watch it...=D

[thenickelbackfan5]

Denzel is the all an advertising campain needs to draw attention too. Hes the man. I cant wait to see this.

[Rebel2332]

-5/10 A movie full of easy guessing twists.

[Supernaturalpodcast1]

The Road was out ?? they didn't really put out many ads for that movie this movie book of Eli was okey

[evan6629]

Grace you do a great job

[BeyondTheTrailer]

Hey thanks! :)

[Drainzor]

Your welcome.

[dragonball3166]

this looks like good moive ill see it eventually

[mykalroze]

I like Denzel Washington, but I don't know about this movie. Yet another apocalyptic movie. Reminds me of the late 90s/early 2000s when it seemed all Hollywood would put out was sword-and-sandal epics.
