Well, she better be able to get some serious amazing ass kicking skills between now and when she meets those cannibals. Eli saved her life and all she did was kick and scream.
I think her "moment" didn't come at the end, I think it came when she threw the grenade.
Some how it does not suprise me that you would be the one guy here to give this movie a low score like a 6. Cough Avatar fanboy Cough. Avatar is a great movie and all but the story is super perdictable at least Eli had a twist in the plot.
EDIT: I'm also lost on how I'm a fanboy. Have I ever called someone out for not liking the film? No. Does my opinion of the film reach the embarrassing hyperbole of others? No.
While I thought a fair amount of the film looked decent at best, shots near the beginning and others scattered throughout were definitely cool. The new Red digital camera was definitely put to good use.
I saw the trailer one time. Looked good to me. I read nothing about the movie beforehand. I haven't even looked in this thread before. I thought it was a great movie. I couldn't even drink my soda at times. Man I was keyed in.
Eli being blind thing, yeah it's clear at the end that he is. It's just baffling that sometimes he does things that someone who is blind clearly couldn't do. When he stares down the guy after the gunfight, he is looking right at a man who is standing well over 100 feet away from him. Maybe it's the "power of God" spurring him on, or maybe it's a plot hole.
On a side note, I really hate people in the theater. Why oh why do people talk so damn much?!
Eli, in his final prayer to God (which I assumed was a new book added to the Bible...a literally Book Of Eli, the new prophet). Eli asks God to give Mila Kunis the strength to carry on his mission. Then she gears up...I thought it was clear...
I just thought he said give her the strength to carry on in her life, his mission was finished, so why would she need to carry it on? Getting the book to were its meant to be was his only purpose.

With regards to the spoiler, he would have heard were the gunshot came from, his senses were heightened, AND he had God protecting him, its not a stretch that he could do that.
Eli was blind?! I just didn't see that! (no pun) I assumed he memorized the entire book and carried that brail one as a decoy or something. I guess that explains a few things. His eyes weren't hazed over like a blind persons usually are though...

I was a little bit disappointed. I expected to be blown away...it was just ok.
But, I will say, I accidentally came across the spoiler that many of you mentioned BEFORE I went to see it...so that MAY have affected my perspective.

I believe it had to affect your perspective on the movie. My idiot cousin ruined the ending to Se7en for me before I got to see it an when I finally did all I could think about how I knew the ending already an how the shock an twist part no longer meant anything to me.
^Personally I thought the ending was the best part of the movie, very clever ending which made you think about the movie and will reward repeat viewings for me.

My brother did the exact same thing. lol He told me what was going to happen in Se7en, and it kinda ruined the ending for me. I still liked the movie though, but maybe that's just me.

I didnt think it was obvious at all, how was is obvious when he was taking down groups of about 10 men singlehandedly?
Its obvious ONCE the ending is revealed and you start thinking back to all of the things he did, but thats the cleverness of the ending for me, it makes you think back about the rest of the movie.
Pretty good movie. There were some unanswered questions, some of which I'm not sure if I was supposed to figure out on my own or maybe they just weren't addressed.
I disagree... as I said before, this movie is almost the exact same story as Bulletproof monk, with an adaptation of setting and feel. Nothing more. Vagabond carries scroll/bible, vagabond loses scroll/bible, vagabond tricks everybody and memorizes scroll/bible, vagabond saves the day, vagabond passes mission onto apprentice. All this film did was refocus the narrative on a post nuclear war world, with a realignment to make it into a 'christianity rules' perspective.
Yeah, the plot devices have been transformed into other objects/events(a bible instead of a scroll, and why a protestant bible specifically?) but it's the exact same narrative. That doesn't make it original... (it's like saying that craptastic movie Eragon was original,,, but it's starwars, with dragons and magic, instead of the force and spacefighters, the details are changed, the story completely unoriginal).
But, as I also said, minus the ending, and useless apprentice who didn't actually do a single thing in the movie (I'm mean really, what was the point of Kunis' character?) it was a fun flick to watch. But nothing special in the end.
As for your age comment, I'm certainly old enough to remember a whole slew of films this movie borrowed from. And ironically, most of these roberies came from more recent than older films(I mean it feels like whoever wrote this saw both BP-M and Children of Men(one cannot deny that rowing scene was a bit of a ridiculous rip off), and was like: if I combine these two, I can make $$$$). And I liked this movie. But it doesn't change the fact that this movie feels like it was a collage of 10 different films).

so you think he was blind? re watch time. I'm pretty sure he wasn't blind. Why would a blind man need a lantern? or sunglasses? He clearly looks at many things over the course of the movie, and not in an ambiguous way. The conversation he has with the store owner... he's not blind. The point of the bible being in brail, was to hammer home the irony of Gary Oldman's mistreatment on Kunis' mother.
