I Am Legend - Page 2

Saw it tonight and it was pretty good. I like WS, and while it may have ended quickly, it was better than most movies that I have seen in the theaters as of late.

One awesome bonus was the full length 'The Dark Night' trailer

Jon.

Wish I was coming over the pond with your buddy from London to watch the WS movie.
It doesn't open over here 'til Boxing Day so I've still got at least 11 days to wait.

actually vincent price was the star of the original which i think came out in the 50´s.

Could some one who has seen it please tell me if they kill the the character at the end or do they give some crappy hopeful ending?

Way to spoil the ending you stupid fucks.

Well my girlfriend and I opted for I Am Legend over TGC, thanks to SoCal's advice, and I was definitely happy! Good movie... the ending did seem abrupt though.

This movie scared the SHIT out of me.

I will admit that I am the biggest chicken. I'm not really scared by anything "real" in the sense of like some murder thriller slasher thing; but, you throw in anything supernatural horror and I have my eyes peaking out through my hands like in this movie.

I did like the scenes of all of NY being empty and overgrown and when they blow up the bridge is really cool.
Also, I got to "walk on the set" in the sense that every car in that movie was parked along 57th St from West Side Hwy to 9th Ave when I lived in that area.

The part that had me on edge the most was the scene when he drives by and sees "Fred." My God that whole scene had my hair standing on end.

I loved the movie, but have to concur that anything with crazy psycho humans is fine with me, but you put something supernatural/demonic/whatever you'd like to call it, and i'm back in 5th grade again. Definitely recommend this movie to anyone!

I had no idea that it was a remake. I suppose I'm a little too young to know about the others, but I'll definitely have to check them out.

I realllly liked the end. It isn't a cookie cutter ending. Having never seen the previous ones, I had NO IDEA this was going to be a zomb!e movie - and I love all the old corny black and white zombie movies. I will second the notion that the trap set by the main zombie guy was brilliant. The first part where WS traps that girl... and the main zombie boss comes out into the sun to look how he traps her - only to use the same method later. I loved it! One question though... what was WS's character's importance? I saw his picture on the TIME magazone cover... i know he was Lt Col in the military, but... like... why is he important? Was he the one who was responsible for blowing up the bridges and isolating everyone on the island? The chick knew his name and knew who he was, but I couldnt figure out why he was a prominent figure. and... why does the dog ALWAYS have to die? c'mon... as soon as the movie started and he just had a dog, it was obvious the dog would die trying to save him - its too perfect.

Saw it in IMAX today and to be honest, I didn't really care for it. I'm a big Will Smith and sci-fi fan, but I don't really like zombie movies so that was my first problem.

Secondly, I didn't really think they did a very good job of exploring his character. He seems all together at first, but then he does stuff that makes you think he's losing it, but I just didn't feel that his character was fully realized.

I know it's different in some ways, but I really thought "Children of Men" last year was a much better movie about an apocalyptic future.
