lol, for a second, I thought "Hodapp wrote a book?!". I was about to grab my keys and head out the door (jk, still got another year to go), and then realized it was a movie. Definitely looks good, though.
Yeah, it was quite good. It's a hard book to translate to the screen, but they did a nice job. Definitely not a "feel good" film though.
Book of Eli looks as if it will suck badly. The screenwriter is a former PC Games editor (Gary Whitta) and this is his first screenplay that turned into a movie. Somehow I think, it will be his last.
As Dave pointed out if you look at Rottentomatoes.com you'll see the movie got a bad score - 17/100 I wish that site still did the meter for console games, they were one of the best sites for critic reviews on games.
I've actually been resisting new stuff recently and watching old 30's movies on the netflix. Clark gable, cagney, awesome. real acting is awesome. Long scenes are awesome. Have you ever watched some of these new movies and notice how many times they switch scenes in any given minute? and people wonder why the children of today have attention problem.s
I agree they're good but I wouldn't call it real acting. Real Hollywood acting maybe... most film stars back in those days used to act the way they thought film stars should behave, rather than how real people behave. Agreed on all the cuts though, long takes are a personal favourite of mine, takes real skill.
