The Book Of Eli (2010) Movie REACTION 

This is a movie that requires two viewings to properly enjoy. Once to watch the movie and once again to watch it knowing what you know after the first watch through.

Gary Oldman fucking killed it in this role.

I loveee this movie!!❤

Truly one of the great underestimated films of our time and not given enough credit in my opinion.. stellar performance by Denzel.. great reaction Devin 😁👍🇦🇺

Whats tragic is that Book of Eli is not a movie that would be made today. The emphasis on the power and meaning of the bible tends to be shut down by the Hollywood types. Praise God in the highest.

Waited your whole youtube career for this moment. One of my favorite movies of all time!

The minute details in this are insane. After the first watch, go back through it and it becomes crystal clear, a blind man reacting to what is given, sound, smell, touch. It’s when he arrives at the couples home in the desert, they tell him they have a no trespassing sign and he responds he hasn’t seen it. So many genuinely brilliant details in this movie. Denzel is beyond goat level in acting and as a dude. Just a great actor in a great role in a great film.

When Eli told the old cannibal couple that he didn't see the sign, he meant it 😂

I love this movie. I’ll never understand why it didn’t do well with critics. And the reason they check hands is because the cannibals are infected with Kuru disease. It’s a prion folding disease caused by eating human brains and spinal columns. First sign is tremors.

Always liked how he backed into the tunnel for the first fight so he could hear their echos

Love this movie so much, I think it’s highly over hated and underrated, most didn’t see it, and those who did must not have paid attention because half the complaints I see from people is that “it’s shoving religion down people’s throats” when the whole premise is about how even Eli who seems to be the chosen one, is also making bad choices in terms of morality when he left multiple people behind and refused to help others, and mostly salara. Case in point him literally watching a man get killed in front of his wife or sister or whatever and she ends up getting attacked and raped and all Eli did was watch because it wasn’t his story, but after taking care of salara I’m sure he realizes those people didn’t HAVE to die. This movie is much deeper than one would think, it’s beautifully shot and the score is amazing. The choreography and acting is top tier especially carnagie who was an absolute menace throughout

Not just a good movie. Not just a great movie. This is an Important movie...

they make people hold their hands out straight to check if the stranger is a cannibal, because if you consume human meat regularly, you start to get shaky, so they wanna see if his hands are stable, he's not a cannibal

Great reaction. I love this movie because it describes not just Christianity, but how people can twist something good a make it evil. For instance, the bad guy wanted to use the book to control people (which any religion or belief can be warped to do) and that is not what it was meant for nor what Jesus wanted. You see that today people using religion or a belief to control others which is sad. He wanted people to free to redeem themselves (why Jesus took in sinners,). Also, Eli finally realized he got so caught up in protecting it that he forgot the lesson. Do more for others than you do for yourself. I love that Mia Kunis took up his mantle at the end too. She aided him and helped on his mission. She truly was good woman as was her mom. Showing that it isn't just man, but man and women together making a better world. I love that her mom's face changed feeling the book. The slight smile told it all. She knew what she read and knew what evils the bad guy would do with it. feeling the book..

The cat scene has Devin rethinking his dinner over there. All states of grief, went from times got to be hard to hunt cat😐 to that cat look like chicken😳

Denzel really pulls his own weight when he does action. Along with Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise, it's inspiring seeing these older actors still put in a lot of training for a role.

huge increase in thumbnail quality recently 🔥

For some reason i was only getting audio out of my left ear piece on my headset... O.O That being said, the Main Theme Song for this album gives me chills ALL the time! Absolutely one of my favorite movies and soundtracks, alongside Interstellar. Once you learn he's blind, and you go back and watch the movie again. You'll see every single little detail that illustrated that fact. Tiny things that were overlooked because we all do something similar, something tiny.

When it came out, a former coworker described this movie to me as "Fallout: The Movie." After seeing it myself, I would say it's like Mad Max with hope.

YES!!!! Great movie!!! I always wished they made a sequel following Mila Kunis's journey east!! 💘

"Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path. And for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good that I may have done, I'm so sorry about the bad. Thank you for the friend I made. Please watch over her as you watched over me. Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I'm so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace. Knowing that I have done right with my time on this earth. I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith."

great movie with an awesome twist of an ending. the fact that they revealed in the end he was blind the entire time blew my mind.

I love this movie. Denzel and Gary Oldman gives tremendous performances here. It’s such a unique concept for an apocalyptic movie. I’ve seen it a few times and I always notice something that I missed in other watchings. Enjoyed your reaction. I really love this movie.

My mother was blind, and had a braille Bible. It took up an entire book shelf! Each letter has to be like a quarter of an inch tall to be able to feel the dots. You can only print on one side of the page as well. So, to print the whole thing in braille takes VOLUMES!

One of the most underrated movies EVER!!! Watch it again, now that you’ve seen it, and you get so much more out of it👍🏻 Great reaction!!

I love how when Eli is shot at it hits the backpack. But it doesn't hit Eli. The book holds the Bible. His protection.

"The shakes" come from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, aka Mad Cow (bovine version). It comes from misfolded proteins called prions, specifically of the nervous system. The formation of prions are rare, but it's spread by consumption of infected nervous system tissue like brains and spinal nerves. So for people who eat people who ate people (like some tribal funerary practices), the odds of having it increase exponentially. Having CJD is a good sign of someone being a cannibal who eats cannibals who ate cannibals, but it's not by any means certain to happen from or caused by cannibalism.

Denzel Washington is my all time favorite actor, next to Morgan Freeman. He did a superb job in Crimson Tide.

There's some scenes in this movie where the audio is specific to the left or right speaker to highlight what Eli is hearing and out of which ear, usually involving gunfire.

I've scrolled down a bit and am quite surprised by some of the comments I've seen that all seem to drill into the biblical/religious aspects. I'm definitely athiest, but am not offended by the content. I also can't say that I thought the messages were religious. The film was an observation of many things; ideas, belief, determination, trust..the list goes on. I can't understand why for positive or negative reasons, so many seem focused on the wrong thing.

Another Denzil Washington movie recommendation would be “inside man” 2006

A little easter egg in this movie. When Eli(Denzel) is trying to leave that town and Carnegie(Gary Oldman) is giving that speech. Eli(Denzel) uses echo location with tongue clicks to count how many men was in front of him. You have to turn your volume up pretty high. It happens quick but I believe its when Carnegie(Gary Oldman) says "Is that thing loaded" and Eli(Denzel) replies "One way to find out." Right after he says that are the clicks. Thought that was a sneaky rewatch gem they hid in the movie.

I love this movie. I enjoy how enthused you get and how you involve yourself your senses right in the scenes like your there with them and it makes it fun to watch but sorry to say I can't keep watching with you because you constantly say God D__m which is blasphemy and very insulting to the Lord.

66 books in the bible... 1100+ chapters... I read 10-12 chapters a day.. took me about 4 or so months to go cover to cover..

The scriptwriter/producer of this film (Gary Whitta) also wrote a really awesome book called Abomination. It's inspired by The Thing and set in Medieval England. It's about an insane priest making abominations out of dead pigs and stuff, so the King Of England has a crew of men established to hunt them down. You can tell who they are because anybody wounded by an abomination never heals. So these men are always all bloodied up and constantly changing their bandages.

Wonderful movie! I've watched it several times. Love your reaction!

I think the archivist DID print multiple copies. That looked like a platen press. It's good for printing one page at a time... So you print each page repeatedly, then recompose the moveable type for the next page, and print that repeatedly, and so on. The copy he shelved was to preserve it as the source (maybe?).

I was hoping they would have created a second movie with her character discipling what she witnessed, that she walked with a man protected by god. That she would carry on doing the work of god by spreading the gospel that civilization worked so hard to destroy. Hollywood would NEVER allow that to be made though😑.

Eating human flesh does weird things to the human body. It can cause a variety of neurological symptoms, prion diseases, and other transmissable illnesses as well as parasites and other unpleasant conditions. There's a reason the majority of human cultures have taboos against cannibalism--because the effects were observed far back in prehistory, and people took notice.

Serious Black is in the movie and you can't remember where you saw him from? Its alright!

The man who's arm got chopped off, he looks at him and says "you, see". You think he's delirious but in reality he either notices Eli is blind, or the phrase has double meaning, as on you See right through me or who I am and what he's done. It's like at the end he is filled with grace. They all seem to be in a daze and look at him with reverence right before they die. The other man who gets impaled with his "sword of justice " seems to even fall to his knees in prayer and dies in that position. This movie truly feels like a biblical tale, and most biblical stories are brutal af

She asked questions, but Jesus said seek and ye shall find. Ask it shall be given. She hungered and thirsted for the Word of God. You shall be bellies of living water

Fallen is a good one with Denzel.

This movie is amazing. You truly won’t understand how powerful the Bible is until you read it cover to cover (66 books). Jesus really does speak to you through His word. He’ll change your life. You’ll have a ton of peace, comfort, and hope once you’re born again. God tells us how the world will end as well. Read the book of Revelation. ”Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”“ ‭‭- John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭ “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,“ ‭‭- 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-4 ”Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.“ ‭‭- John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭ ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“ ‭‭- John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭

Thank you so much for your reaction to this movie! Loved it every bit of the way!

I have always seen this film as both praising faith and warning against it. On one hand it was the reason for his mission and on the other hand others sought it because they knew they could use it to expand their power and control.

crazy I was just thinking the other day that none of the people im subbed to have watched this yet and here you are. perfect timing my man, great reaction as always

Denzel and Gary Oldman put on a masterclass in acting on this one. Plus did y'all catch the symbolism of the first fight? How he brought them under the bridge and into the dark.

I understand why Training Day gets the love that it does. But this is my favorite Washington movie. Thanks for reviewing it. 👍

Bro , finally u got to this movie, I’ve been waiting patiently

This is a very underrated action movie. Very well done

I LOVE this movie. The "He's been blind all this time" reveal is indeed mind blowing until you realize that when GOD says, "I will protect you" then it is more understandable how he did the things he did. He knew one day, in some form, his time would end. I personally think he was walking around for 30 years is so when he got to that town, he would find her, even though he didn't know it, God did, it was his plan. She was the next chosen one and would go on to do what followed Eli's task. That's my look on it anyways. Either way, I too fell this movie slipped thru the cracks and never got the much well deserved attention it deserves. Or perhaps those who promote movies felt it to "Religious" and might offend so they didn't push it. That's one great thing about the internet and youtube. You can find treasures like this movie now and then and share for others to see and hopefully pass on to other. God bless you and your family. I just want to add rather then take the Lord's name in vain, why not say "Devil Damn It" instead? That's what I do.

66 books of the Bible. I had to memorize them all. Private school 🤣

I didn’t realize this movie came out in 2010 I thought it was much sooner than that. My homie Xavier from high school put me on this movie and I miss his sorry ass. I gotta call him see how he’s been

I'm glad I saw this movie knowing nothing about it. It was wild.

Al Green "how can you mend a broken heart". Good catch, G

About time You watched this one man 😂😉

He didn't just reprint one copy, that was just a symbolic scene at the end. The completion of the library so to speak.

What's great about this film, is once you know he is blind and watch it again you can spot the signs of him being blind. Examples such as him feeling for the boots on the guy hanging in the closet, stepping under the overpass so he can hear them better, him accidentally bumping the cat, and not shooting the guy standing in the middle of the street because he never heard him fire a shot.

The new Magnificent Seven, with Denzel Washington is a must watch bro, EPIC

Way too loud intro and the sound is completly distorted. Fix it a bit for the next time. 💙

I bet you would love all the 90's action movies.

In my opinion the most underrated movie ever made.

My favorite Denzel movie!

That store owner who charged his pod looks like Tom Waits. Anyone know if it is him?

Strong and deep movie...

I concur with your assessment of Denzel being the best actor at this time.

Great reaction Devin G. One of the best movies of all time. Lots of messages in that one.

My man, you gotta watch "Silverado". Danny Glover is great in it.

i love this movie ❤❤❤

Deja Vu is another underrated Denzel 🎥 many do not react to.

@Devin for the longest time THIS film was as close to a Fallout (video game) type film or series we would ever get...... and yes it is a great film and no friends nor anyone in the film knew Denzel was blind (the character).

If a dude ever starts quoting the Bible and brings out a big ass blade right before a fight......I'm not getting involved and I'm leaving 😂

Another one of my favorites. Denzel is that dude!

This is one movie that is just as good if not better watching it a second time

Yooo, the excitement i felt seeing this pop up, man. One of my favorite movies ever! Denzel is an absolute badass as always. Hey, if you've never seen Reign of Fire, that's a good one i recommend, got some great action and Matthew Mcconaughey being a BEAST! Great reaction as always, much love D.

The holy spirit Christ Yashaya was with Eli. (Great Bible movie) & its from the Revelation in kjv. (This is what they bible prophecied for the future)

12:40 bruh... Seriously? Haha that's Gary Oldman you've seen him in everything good... Dracula, The Dark Knight trilogy, Darkest Hour, immortal beloved, Harry Potter, Leon the professional, Air force One, JFK, the fifth element...

Other men of God that were deadly....... Samson. David. Moses. Gideon. Abraham. And Michael (not a man, but more than worthy of a mention.)

Eating fruit by the foot and watching Denzel Washington kick ass..AWESOME!!!

I absolutely love ❤️ this MOVIE 🎥 and DW is a GREAT ACTOR. I usually enjoy your reviews and I don’t mind curse words but the GD WORD was used about 50x was uncomfortable 🥴 to hear. I’m an honest and straightforward person…I have watched many of your reviews..everyone has certain days 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ so. Be encouraged and blessed.

Hello Devin! Loved the video! You really need to watch these movies bro!! "War of the Arrows" (2011) and "Limitless" (2011)

Really underrated movie... Yeah, Denzel's GREAT but... Gary Oldman has a habit of stealing every film he's in! What a legend, makes me proud to be British (!)

When you truly align yourself with God..I mean really submit…YOU WILL NEVER LOSE! yes you will come across trial and tribulation but keep having faith and you will succeed…this movie was good!

Devin I love your reactions bro,,,,but please for the Love of Christ please stop cursing the Lord in your videos please. You can still use gosh damn,,,,,,,

Another amazing reaction! If you like post-apocalyptic movies, you should check out Children of Men. Amazing movie.

There is nothing like a movie with that ahha moment that has you stunned with oh wow. I would recommend 1. The Prestige with Christian Bale- Hugh Jackman 2. The Illusionist Edward Norton-Jessica Biel 3. The Book Thief

I liked Denzel Washington but he was never one of my top favorites. The only thing I loved him in before this was Remember The Titans. Then I saw this and he absolutely is. This movie surprised me in pretty much every way it was possible to surprise me. 1. He fought like Snipes. 2. The concept is BRILLIANT. It instantly adds a level of emotion simply by the baddie coveting something SO PRECIOUS to so many in real life. 3. The soundtrack gives me chills every time I hear it. Especially when he is praying at the end for Solara. 4. The twist.....oh the wonderful, PERFECT twist. The guy gets his wish and his Bible. And its worthless, because its braille. Because ELI WAS FRIGGIN BLIND ALL ALONG!!! I know people will think I'm overhyping that twist ending. And maybe it isn't as great as I'm thinking but I have always loved it just as much as the giant twist in the 6th Sense. In that movie they show a few hints at what might be the truth. But in this movie it's like every other scene he does something that should have clued us into him being blind. He tripped walking up the stairs of the very 1st house he went in. Then he ran into the table when he walked inside. He never really looks at people when hes talking to them unless it is Solara is sitting near him. He could smell the hijackers and everybody knows by now that when you go blind your other senses improve to accommodate. Knowing that he is blind makes the opening scene pretty cool. That man shot a cat with a bow and arrow.... And he couldn't even see it.

Gangs of New York Hell or high water Conan the destroyer (the sequel to the barbarian) Sherlock Holmes Harsh times Kingpin

YESSSSS!!!! Thanks for doing this movie, it is a great one! You should check out WITNESS with Harrison Ford - it is fantastic.

If you like Apocalypse movies, you should check out The Road. Personally, I actually like Book of Eli better, even though that might not be a popular opinion, but The Road is excellent.

the curse the most high Ahayah put on adam(man) when he ate that fruit of satan. (Good & Evil) Adam was made from the dust of the earth (dirt)

Dredd 2012 would be a dope reaction

My favorite Denzel Washington movie is Fallen. It also stars John Goodman. You'll love it.

Good movie. I can see where it could take 30 years. For all we know (in fact now that I think on it I believe it might be stated or implied he started in the East) he is walking from the East Coast to the West Coast (we know he ends there). That is 2500+ miles. With weather, seasons, hunting, scavaging, and illness; you are not making 20 miles a day 365 days a year. Also that 'beautiful woman' acting as blind, is Jennifer Beals. She is and has been one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood from starring in Flashdance (1983) to this film 27 years later to now.

This is a really good movie. I agree with your comment about Denzel. Watch John Q also. That will really hit your heart strings.

Yo yo yo. All love. Your mic is clipping. Love your enthusiasm and vibe. Sound guy here. Check your sound levels brother 👍

I fell in Love woth Denzel first time I saw in him TV series St. Elsewhere, he was so young and handsome. But I think he becomes better looking with age. He's son is becoming a good actor himself. What I love about him he never said his dad was Denzel, to audition for parts. John David Washington was in a movie, and I kept thinking he reminds me so much of Denzel,and what a good actor. I Googled him, and find out he's Denzels son.

0:34 let me burst your bubble and say straight out this is the only movie he’s done that I like and never thought he was actually good actor and never will, sorry just wanted to be honest with you about that 👍🏻👍🏻 and I understand that it’s just one opinion but I try my hardest to speak the truth and not worry about what others think of me. But I’m a fan of first reaction videos and I’ve seen almost all the movies that people are watching 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤙🤠 I’m 60 and always been a movie fan
