Quote: I'm glad you were kidding. It's hard to judge tone on the internet, and especially when your sarcastic statement is something that a lot of kids on the internet have been saying (in a serious manner) since the trailers for this movie came out.
No harm, no foul dude...you're right though, it was a very "fashionable" crack to make and I can see how someone could get defensive about a comment like that when you don't have the context of the poster's writing style to frame it in. For the record, I did like the film. Denzel is a top shelf actor and Gary Oldman is criminally underrated/overlooked. I've said it before and I'll say it again: How this man does not have at least one Oscar sitting on his mantle is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe to me. I sure as hell hope he doesn't end up sharing Cary Grant's fate - zero Academy Awards but a nice fat "Honorary Oscar" consolation prize at the end of his career. That would be a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions!

I enjoyed Book of Eli but not as much as I hope to be. The only reason I would buy this movie is Oldman's & Washington's performances.
Not bad flick but I saw The Road earlier and felt it did a better job in terms of human survival.

Good movie until....*shudder*....that ending.

Plus The Road was just a better movie overall

Oh one more thing. Why is it going to take so damn long. Five months!!!!! Come on. I thought that was a thing of the past. Everything now at least takes like three.
