“You can either carry the cross or be the one banging in the nails.”
Why does my 1400th entry in six years have to be about THIS film?
Why does this entry have to be wasted, writing about the worst movie I’ve seen since Cloverfield?
WHY!?!?
Because it’s a WARNING. Under no circumstances should you see this film.
Unless…
…unless you enjoy a watered-down, third-rate Mad Max rip off with the visual style of a second-rate graduate in high school photoshop, where even the extras look like they’re wondering why they signed up for this garbage…don’t see this movie!
…unless you enjoy watching the strangest apology ever for the existence of the Bible, presented in the most trite, insulting, ridiculous & pretentious manner imaginable, don’t see this movie!
…unless you enjoy watching some of the most unemotive, plastic acting ever captured by a camera, some of the most dull action scenes ever committed to film, and an actor of the calibre of Gary Oldman, phoning in a performance from such a long distance, you need a radio telescope in order find him…don’t see this movie!
The Book of Eli is a smoking pile of trash. It’s unmitigated drivel of the highest order, and I’m STILL trying to figure out if I’m ever going to get those two hours of my life back! It’s a thriller without thrills, preaching a hollowness that would meet with the Sarah Palin stamp of approval.
