Children of Men worse than The book of Eli?!?!??! wow… how come?

You are right, I had probably under-rated Children of Men.
That’s mainly because of a few unbelievable coincidences that in my opinion spoil the overall quality of the movie. For instance: how happens that the hunters find the house where they found shelter in the woods? And also: the upraising of the ghetto happening exactly in the afternoon of the flee.
(and a few others).

After your comment I end up rating them at the same level:
- Children of Men starts from a nice idea and scenario, but I don’t like the filmmaking.
- The book of Eli has a pretty weak background and scenario, while the filmmaking and some actors are good.

Yeah, I don’t follow your logic in the slightest. I found Children of Men one of the more unforced films (considering its topic and the genre) one can imagine. The acting was top notch and the characters fully realized…

But, everyone has their own opinions.
