High Concept: Mad Max fucks the 10 Commandments and they give birth to The Book of Eli.
Just saw it with my kid. It's hard to hate this move but goddamn, it's like watching an elephant swimming in molasses... It's ponderous. The fight scenes are great. You get the strong impression that Eli is not exactly human. But guess what, he's just the most driven bible deliveryman ever. The bad guy in the film desperatly wants his bible so he can use it's message to expand his control to more than one town.
This really is a fable, which in this case means "please ignore all the unbelieavable crap and focus on the story's moral."
Playing it at 2x speed would absolutly make it work better.
PS. I'm typing this on my iPhone, who's onscreen keybaord hates my mangled little finger nubs.
Blame any typing errors on Steve Jobs, famous nub hater.
