This book is terrible...so fucking boring. The main character is boring as fuck, if i have to read him say to his kid "Yes, of course you can" after his kid goes "Papa, can i ask you a question?" one more time, im gonna kill someone. no one would act this simple, the dialogue between him and his son is retarded.
hopefully the movie is much better.

Odd, you are the first person out of about 10 people I know (not including the ones on this board) to say the book was anything but great.
I'm not too big on fictional literature but I've liked everything else I've read by Cormac McCarthy so I'm going to read the book one of these days when I knock a few others off my list.

I thought this movie was pretty good.
Yeah it's pretty depressing. It's probably the most fucked up post-apocalyptic world I've seen. Usually in books or movies there's aspects of the world that may be hard, but survivable. Or hard but kind of fun. Or at the very least, there's some loot to be had after the apocalypse. This world is just fucked up from top to bottom.
Don't believe the thread title. The main character in this movie only has two bullets, so it's a far cry from Rambo.
I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

I hate to say it but the movie was a tad boring at times.
I thought it was good, though. The parts where it would flash back to Therons character brought about a great deal of emotion to go along with an already depressing existence for the father and his kid. I would have liked to see more of that. But there was about a half hour where I started to lose interest, that was until the closing of the movie. Shortening the film by about 10 minutes or so might have done it some justice. Good score and performance by Viggo.
7/10
