Movie Reviews

  • worthwhile experience, at least one time around, but it's mostly memorable for its little treasures
    3.5 of 5 by Christopher Null [Filmcritic.com ]
  • too laborious for an action film and too brutal to be an inspirational tale
    2 of 4 by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]
  • The movie is essentially a Western, with old-fashioned shootouts and barroom brawls interrupted by telling details of a global disaste
    2 of 4 by John Hartl [Seattle Times ]
  • The Book of Eli is like a movie based on a graphic novel you don't want to read.
    Review rate : D by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]
  • sober and derivative movie
    Review rate : B- by Gary Thompson [Philadelphia Daily News ]
  • doesn't quite achieve the greatness to which it so clearly aspires
    3 of 4 by Calvin Wilson [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]
  • "The Book of Eli" plays out like the film version of a great graphic novel that no one ever got around to writing.
    3.5 of 5 by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

  • "The Book of Eli" is a weighty tome, bound with the sort of smug nostalgia usually reserved for Allstate commercials
    3 of 4 by Graham Killeen [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ]
