ScreeningNotesAug 11, 2015This is one of those movies I'll always watch whenever I come across it on TV. Absolutely love the story. Very creative and well executed.
EvanFeb 25, 2023Starring: King Kong Ain’t Got Sh!t On Denzel The fact that non-Christians made one of the coolest "Christian" films speaks volumes about the lack of effort on the part of Christian filmmakers and artists. Rants aside, though, the film is actually really good. In many…

come for the sadism and bountiful plot holes, stay for Denzel and the cardboard color grading

- mr movie dislikedThe Book of Eli
i think this movie would be better, or at least way funnier, if eli’s book was like literally anything other than the bible. imagining an alternate cut where this guy fanatically believes humanity’s only chance of survival is harry potter and the chamber of secrets
RainOrShine likedThe Book of EliFirst good movie I’ve watched that has heavy religious references without being overly dramatic or cheesy. Plus all the characters were well written and create a very engaging story. With this in thought I’d rate it a solid 6/10
Nick Dubberly likedThe Book of EliI thought I hadn’t seen this before, but after watching today I had forgotten I had seen it before. It’s a fairly unique story, even though it has shades of Fahrenheit 451 at the very end. It’s The Equalizer meets Mad Max. So if you like either of those films you’ll enjoy this.

Michael Policelli spoiled this film for me mid watch and there will forever be a dark cloud in the way of a pure brotherhood between us because of it

Jikitiz is "meh" onThe Book of Eli🙂
Eli Lucas is "meh" onThe Book of Eli5.7/10. Starts very slow, very short main plot, good ending (somewhat saves it). The shot selection is very sporadic, no consistency, green screen is quite terrible at times. The overall idea is great, just poorly executed imo. Wish there was more explaining of what happen before

Metacritic
The Hughes Brothers' measured, well-paced direction complements the comic-book simplicity of this narrative.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
Some mordant comic touches would have been welcome throughout the picture, which has a somber tone that suffers a bit from lack of modulation and nuance.
Todd McCarthy
Variety
The Book of Eli combines the maximum in hollow piety with remorseless violence. [18 Jan. 2010, p.82]
