I am Legend (the Movie)?

Scotsman said:
I'd agree with that. I really liked it up until the point the girl showed up.

Cheers,

Special effects were tremendous, the story line was all over the place, like they forgot about that part.

Virus dudes were sick looking!@

Agreed, it was like the were editing the movie the realized they hadn't put any action in so in a desperate effort the crammed the last 20 min with all the plot/action and then walked away.

I haven't seen it, yet. I do have a soft spot for Will Smith and I shall be voting for him in the 2016 presidential election...but I have to say I'm a big fan of Heston's The Omega Man, a classic.
 
the movie was okay.

the marketing aspect of it was incredible. that's what studios love. the killer plot.

i liked it. i would say a B. i did think that tried to stuff to much in too little of a time frame. i expected it to be longer and explain more like war of the worlds.

the ending didnt quite fit imo. but that dog sure got to my heart strings.
 
I liked it

but I thought it would have been better if they stuck with him being alone the entire movie and just killing the dark people
 
how about before you all spoil a movie you say i'm about to spoil the movie with this post

fucking niggers..

It wasnt the editing, it was the worst writer in the world, Akive Goldsman, being hired to write the 2nd half of the script.

The original script was great...the entire movie was kinda like the first hour. It explored the mutants getting smarter. And Will Smith still died at the end.
 
Spoiler above.
 
I liked the part when he realized that he can't really save them and that it was his turn to die. I'm sappy for scenes like that when a person sacrifices themselves for the greater good.

It's also a little sad when he picks up the picture of his daughter right before he kills himself to save the girl and the child with the cure.

Oh...and spoiler alert.
 
It seemed like half a movie. I liked the whole parts fo the movie where they show his day-to-day life. It was slow but very cool. Justt when the movie was picking up speed, it ends... I could have sat thru another 30mins of movie if they had kept it going. They could have killed him while the lady and kid were leaving the city. But instead they kill him while they are being attacked in a basement in the middle of Manhattan, still a long way to go for the survivors.
 
I think they could have made it a 2 or 3 movie series. I thought it was a great idea, just really hurried.
 
that would have been fucked if the girl and her daughter were leaving and the colverfield monster ate them

Another 20-30 mins added to the movie would have been perfect. The movie was just getting good when it ended. I seriously thought there was more.
 
I haven't seen this film, but I like Will Smith as well and shall be voting for him in the 2016 presidential election.

I loved Heston's The Omega Man, though.
 
Him seeing those zombies in the dark was f'n freaky. i jumped.

the rest of the movie was stupid.

esp. the vain attempt at showing his mental struggle, by showing him talking to mannequins. It didn't work - looked stupid.

i don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there was an alternate ending that was better than the one in theaters. closer to what happened in the book.. will smith realizes that the zombies/vampires still have a little human in them, and takes pity on them.
 
I Am Legend is a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in Los Angeles.



The book takes place in the then-future of 1976-1979. The novel opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of a bacterium, the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing more vampires.

Neville's psychological disposition is a significant element in the novel, and his struggles with despair imbue the character with intensity and gravitas. The author emphasizes that he is an ordinary, flawed man trying to deal with an extraordinary catastrophe. It also explores the loneliness of being by himself, excitement and hope of finding others, and disappointment over still finding himself alone.

Much of the story is devoted to Neville's struggles to understand the plague that has infected everyone around him, and the novel details the progress of his discoveries. Instead of asking the reader to accept a supernatural explanation for vampire phenomena, the author strives to offer scientific basis for such symptoms as aversion to garlic, craving of fresh blood, and resistance to bullets but vulnerability to stakes and sunlight. The aversion to mirrors and crosses is classified as psychological.

I love it how Spart knows all this information
 
don't spoil the alternate ending
which disc has the alternate ending?
the 2-disc special edition w/ digital copy (whatever that is)?
I'd like to get the HD DVD disc as I have a HD player
 
Alternate ending much superior to theatrical ending.

The original script was fucking awesome. Too bad Akiva had to fuck it up like everything else he touches.
