Why only give two stars

Eli means supreme god in Semitic language. 1. This is a blunt religious inspirational film 2. Washington's tough guy image is also very handsome; 3. It is said that the film's martial arts instructor Dan Inosanto (Chinese name "Ilu Santo") is Bruce Lee's most famous student; 4. Netizens said that after watching this film, the feeling is "believe in Jesus, bullets are invulnerable". The plot of the movie is really tough. 5. It turns out that Eli is blind. That means he has the best navigation system in the world and can keep going west on the road. 6. It seems to be a blind version of Journey to the West; 7. TCL!!

Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.
Solara: Yeah.
Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.
Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?
Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him
Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
