I don't know I heard/read Denzel and Gary Oldman had great performances in the movie, but overall the movie wasn't good.
Rotten Tomatoes
The most famous movie reviewer - Richard Roeper - gave the movie an "A". He said this movie will "walk through the valley of mixed reviews" haha. But he usually is right on with his recommendations.
I might, if I ever learn what the premise to this movie is.

I've heard a lot of staements echoing the same, Theo, and I'm not so sure I understand. most people are annoyed about the trailer being too vague. But that's precisely how a good trailer should be. it should reveal the kind of movie it is, along with some small bits regarding the plot, and leave the rest for the movie. Most trailers these days make it unnecessary to watch the movie because they detail and/or insinuate the entire plot progression, making the movie a fill-in-the-blanks affair. Sure, The Book of Eli could have given a little bit more information, but I'd much rather it partially obscure than reveal entirely.
I really love the setting, but i don't like the action. I prefer my post-apocalyptic movies to be more about survival and this main character doesn't look like he is worried about that :P.
Gary Oldman wants the bible from Denzel... the protector of and quite silent drifter for the beginning of the movie: Denzel is like nonon, my book, i`ll take al of you guize down to protect it! Gary: But if i haz bible, people will think I r propefet!!! Girl: Sup Denzel, I`ll help and I`m hot Denzel: Ok, as long as you make some explosions Boom boom, bang bang, kill, slash slash... pwn The premise of the movie is that.
