Default The Book Of Eli

I went and saw this movie with my dad and my bf yesterday and it was really good. I really like Mila Kunis so seeing her in it, really made me a lot more interested. I went home after the movie and HAD to watch That '70s Show lol. I think she's really pretty.

Anyone else seen this movie?

I have not seen it yet, only read some online reviews. Some folks have commented that there is a lot of violence in it, would you say it is true?

I like the premise, it's a rare thing that you see a movie dedicated so much to the Bible without mocking it.

In my opinion, it wasn't too violent, but it could be to some people. He kills a lot of people, but not just because he can.. because he needs to. I really liked it. I'm not religious, but it was a very inspirational film

I was intrigued by the movie's premise because of the elements of science fiction combined with the biblical aspects. Maybe even my mom would want to see it.

Yes, from what I understand he always warns attackers to back off, so he gives them a chance. That's different than just killing because you are stronger / because you can.

That's the main thing I liked about his character. It was a really great movie. I thought it was going to be boring, but it turned out to be really enjoyable. I'm glad my bf talked me into watching it instead of The Lovely Bones.

The reviews for the movie have been pretty good as well, so I was glad to hear about that. A lot of sci-fi movies either don't get enough good press or don't get good reviews.
