Jason Voorhees (SweetyTerrorxXx)

Better than I 1st thought!

Till a few days ago, I didn't plan to go to see it.
Maybe partially cause The Road disappointed me; although it's anyways a pretty good film.
I love post-apocalyptic movies in general.
Kevin Costner made 2 references, great movies of this kind:
Waterworld, and the underrated The Postman.
Of course also Terminator Salvation... and the ones I'm forgetting (even if there may be some I love more).
Love also the movies ENDING after the apocalypse. So, Deep Impact, 2012 and others.

To turn back to The Book of Eli, the colors (almost black and white by moment) are a good choice for this genre of films.
They correspond well to the atmosphere; if they even create it.

Good cast, with the great Gary, and the beautiful Mila, without forgetting of course the hero, Denzel.
Otherwise, Michael Gambon and Frances de la Tour make a cool crazy dangerous old couple. With them and Oldman, it makes a lot of Harry Potter's cast members.
Oh, and the great malcolm McDowell also of course, leading a museum in Alcatraz. Lol, good idea too!

For the bad point of the movie, I'm sooo tired of the films saying how much god and all that kind of bullshits are important, and even vital for humanity.
An huge criminal, some kind of dictator kill, and do worst things just for a bible???
O_O
Lmfao
Yeah yeah, to own a bible will save the world, change its face.
It puts me out of myself, angry, to hear over and over this kind of speeches.
I didn't know (even if I guessed a bit) that the book of Eli was this one.
Hopefully, religion isn't too important in the dialogues and actions, and so, doesn't spoil too much the story.
Religions never changed the world in a good way. They never saved anyone nor helped humanity. It's even the total opposite, as 99% of the main reasons for 99% of the wars are religions. Without them, there would be millions less deaths each year, and even billions since they exist.

Not bad!

Wanted to see it on theatre, but finally didn't.
Saw it a few weeks ago on TV.
It was pretty funny by moments, and the drawings, (the landscapes, the animals...) are kind and cute.
But I don't regret not to have seen it on theatre (as often when I miss movies and see them after on TV), as it's the kind of movies nice to see on TV, but not enough to deserve the price of a ticket for me.

Simply the BEST movie EVER! Thanks to so many elements, among which the best actor ever, the great Bruce Willis. This movie inspired so many movies since, like Speed, or Under Siege (and 2), Don't Die Too Hard... It gave a lot of codes to the genre. We can see a lot of references to it in so much movies. A lot of good fights. Especially the one against Karl, the blond guy. The fight with the chains where he's mad cause McClane killed his bro earlier is very good. So many times imitated. The shootings through the table or in the windows are very good ideas, changing of so many very classical gun fights seen before, making them be funnier. Originality is always good in movies. And as so many movies have been done till yet, it's a luxury now. Dialogues are very funny sometimes, and well written anyways. Some characters are very likeable (John McClane of course, but also the nice and funny Sgt Al Powell) and some others very unpleasant (Hans Gruber, Karl, but also the guy flirting with Holly McClane, Richard, who isn't 1 of the terrorist, but clearly a person we should avoid. He's as annoying as this also in Die Harder.) So, this makes a good sauce, some very good interactions between them. A very good idea also to have chosen this tower as main set. The sequels are good (even excellent for Die hard with a Vengeance) but under. For example cause missing a set like this. Some kind of closed door movie's set. The end is a very big climax. It's so good, pleasant, brilliant... Of course, perfection doesn't exist, but I don't see what could be changed to make this film be better, sincerely. No matter if some seconds aren't excellent, it can't in any way spoil anything, as there are more than 2 amazingly wonderful hours in this movie. Nominated for 4 Oscars, it's a shame that it didn't win any. Also that it didn't win any nominations for the main Oscars. Thanks everybody, neither Richard Gere, nor Don Johnson have had the role of John McClane. I can't imagine even in nightmares the movie with them instead of Bruce Willis. Otherways, even if I really like Richard Dean Anderson (mainly in McGyver's role), I can't imagine him neither in the role, so... I have this movie in video tape. A friend who had it in double gave me this that he recorded on TV, in 1993. Although it's far to be the most expansive, it's clearly the best gift ever made to me, or near. I saw a lot of thousands movies since, some really are masterpieces, but no one has the level of quality, of perfection in every detail, of creativity, inventivity of the 1st Die Hard. I sadly, don't have anymore video recorder (it's awful, considering the 400 videos I own, of which all my favs, but, it's not that expansive, so, I should buy a new one), so, I bought it a short time ago on DVD, but still didn't watch it. So, not since years, and writing this made me wanna watch it again so hard, so, I must do it now, so, I'm almost over. ;) Yeah, I know, I was a bit telling my life, and it doesn't interess anyone, but, anyways... If you haven't seen it, it's a wrong that you should quickly repair. If you haven't like it, it's even a crime that you should quickly confess.

1 of my 10 Probably the movie I watched the most
