The Book of Eli

nah, dont' buy it. it don't matter how trained you are.

you can't take on 20 people at once. that's why i dont' like the steven seagal stuff.

only bruce lee can get away with it,............ jackie chan and jet li too, but that's all,............

He's special bro.. Protected by God.

Most he ever takes on at once in the movie by himself was probably 7-8, and they weren't all coming at him at the same time.

that's why i'm iffy about those kind of things. if you search youtube for fights or whatever, where 1 guy gets beat up by 7-8 guys you'll see how it really looks like

like if there was 8 of us against one dude, and he has a blade, why would we be dumb enough to rush him one at a time? we'd all bum rush him and he'd get maybe 1 or 2 but the rest would get him

ah,.............. see, i didn't think about that. now that makes sense. there's something supernatural or divine going on,............. ok, i'll accept that.

Well, yeah. But movies can't always be realistic. And like J said, he's supposed to be guided by God. Little bit unrealistic, but definitely worth it.

well, if it's where someone's got special powers or some supernatural thing, i'm ok with, because that explains why they are so awesome.

but in movies where it's supposed to be just a regular dude fighting off 10 people? that's where i get iffy, esp the chick ones where its' a girl doing all the butt kicking,.......... seriously,............ no

Absolutely fantastic movie I watched it last night

Love the ending!!!!!

And the fight scenes are top notch!!!

 

[chefjamesscott]

Not necessarily. Say there's an extremely well-trained soldier who's in peak physical condition and trained to use a knife/gun against a bunch of overweight and malnourished people who have barely handled weapons before. That may not be the case in the movie (they never really talk about the main character's background), but it is entirely possible.

he is wearing dog tags if I got the scene where he cleans them right

so soldier he is

 

[Delhezi222]

Yeah, I think you might be right. That was one of the things I liked about the movie, they never really told you about his life before the movie, they just hinted at it.
