I Am Legend

[Warhorse]

I swore I have seen a topic on this already, but can't seem to locate it.

But anyways, anyone seen this yet? Made like 77 million in it's opening weekend. I'll probably see this during my Christmas break next week.

For fans of the book, do NOT go see it. For the other half, it may be worth checking out. I thought it was a horrible movie even by itself, but that's just my opinion.

[Donnieee]

I have heard many complaints about that movie. But since I have not read the book I am really eager to see the movie. It looked great when I took an look at the trailer.

[Drtooth]

Is it wrong to say Will Smith was more entertaining in his sitcom than in his film Career? I mean, I liked him in both Men in Black films, but none of his other films looked appealing to me. And I hate when actors famous for cheesy roles do serious films. I know a lot of great actors that are able to work it out, but somehow I just don't see that in Will.

I Robot? Pursuit of Happiness? Bad Boys?

[The Terror of Death]

It was alright. My biggest gripe was the main vampire. Him being the only intelligent vampire in the entire city just didnt feel right to me.

That's what I DIDnt get it. How can only one vampire be smart?

[Mr. Snackpants]

I never heard of the book or the 2 movies already based upon it before I saw a trailer for this. That being said I thought it was an above average movie. Not great but pretty good. Will Smith plays the role so well. It's a slow moving movie so if you have a hard time sitting through lots of dialogue and slow scenes you might have trouble with the movie.

I don't think the "leader" of the zombie was the only smart one. I saw them all evolve throughout the movie, becoming smarter and smarter. The scene when Robert had to kill his dog was great, so sad and moving. The ending was abrupt and made lots of people in the theater angry. But the more I think about it the more I like it.

I think I may try to catch it again sometime over my break. I was sitting in the very front 2 rows so by the halfway point I was getting kinda sick and was ready to leave.

"Vampire" is the lazy man's nickname for them. They have vampire like qualities, but are not really.

ah ok..I may see it still looked interesting enough. *shruggs*
I usually don't listen to people when they say something sucks because 9 times out of 10 I usually like it. & Vice Versa.

[Jester]

I've seen the Vincent price and Charlton Heston movies, how does it compair with them?

It was a good movie. Not without its flaws, but entertaining. Definitely worth a watch.

Saw this movie opening night and I liked it. I loved the little horror and sci-fi elements because those kept me interested. If I had any problems with this movie, it'd have to be that it was too short. Overall, I give it an eight out of ten.

[Tanner]

Yeah, I liked the movie enough. Not too bad, not too good. Just in the middle. They had vampire-like qualities, but it was caused by an air-born virus. :3

sort of like 28 days later...........

The film was good. I liked the concept, which separated it from the usual virus-makes-monster movie. It flowed well, gave enough information to follow along, and displayed emotion and determination. This wasn't just some Will Smith film. Usually, the movies he's in plays on his role as a stereotypical black guy, whereas this one portrays him as just a guy trying to survive and use his talents to finish something he started.

My only gripe was that he didn't pack enough ammo.

It's a good movie based on a good story; definitely worth a watch.

I disagree. Many of his starring roles coulda been played by a white man. I, Robot, Independence Day, MIB, Hitch, Enemy of the State, Bagger Vance...

The only ones I can think of that can't be done by a caucasian is Bad Boys and Wild Wild West cuz they both made reference to his blackness.

Point taken, though there's Ali and Shark Tale, too. I see where you're coming from, though. I just think Smith's a good actor and shouldn't be downplayed in any film he's in, as well as the film itself, just because of the big hits he starred in focused on his "blackness."

That's society in general though...stereo types are made because stereo types exist.

[Mecha Cow]

There was Pursuit of Happyness too. Will Smith isn't my favorite actor or anything, but I do think he's seen as a serious performer rather than another Martin Lawrence or Chris Rock.

No, that's not a jab at either Lawrence or Rock.

[Revan]

The movie was desent but what I thought was the best part was the set. They made NYC look completely abandoned. That really helped me get into the feel of the film and how alone robert was.

[Cure]

The Batman/Superman poster they showed made me sad. :(

[Tanner]

The fact that it showed how so sudden, quick, and close to the time the virus broke out with our time was scary too(There was a Wicked poster, and a bunch of things that are around right now). And the set WAS wonderful.

[Raven]

I didnt know what to expect before I saw this, so I was kind of curious as to how it would play out. I thought it was an enjoyable movie, it had some very good moments that drew me in.

I loved how Will Smiths character would plant mannequins over the area and try to converse with them, and I was taken in by his friendship with Sam the dog. I jumped at moments that they clearly wanted me to. I liked how they explained how the virus took over, it was quick and simple.

Good story (havent seen the book so I cant compare the two). But as a movie I think it did what it should, tell a story and entertain me.

So yes, I like it.

[The Shelf]

I really liked this movie. Poor, poor, Sam, though. I knew she was gonna die since I read some spoilers before I saw it, but I didn't expect to care much when it happened. But on the contrary, they really made me care for that dog. :'(

I have a question, though. I was in the restroom during the previews so I think I missed the first minute of the movie or so. I walked in when the woman was on the news and said she found a cure for cancer. Was anything said before that bit? And did they ever explain how the virus jumped to being airborne?

Anyway, like I said, I thought the movie was pretty good. I'm not sure it's the kind of movie that I'd want to watch more than a couple times, but Will Smith did a good job in this movie, and the dog was the perfect addition to make the movie work. I also liked how the "creatures" weren't zombies or vampires or anything. They were just regular people infected with a wacked-out version of rabies that gave them a skin condition. They used way too much CGI, though. They could have done a lot of the stuff in this movie without it.

[Spitfire]

I hated it, should have changed the title to "Blade Presents 28 Descents Later"

For one I hate movies who decide to use CGI for things that could be easily pulled off with costume effects. I've seen creatures that look exactly like that in other movies pulled off with no use of CGI. Lazy film making. The ending was garbage I could tell they tacked that on, if they were smart they would have left him alone the whole movie and had him give up and shoot himself at the end. But then people wouldn't feel good about the ending so I guess they couldn't do that. I forgot end of the world disaster movies were supposed to be happy.

The movie was actually good up until you see the first creature in it's full ****** CGI glory, it all went down hill from there. The scene in the building where he rescues his dog was great. The monsters presence was good and I was starting to think some really creepy stuff was going to happen. Sadly the movie let me down from there. Couldn't have been more predictable either. Guess it was made for people who play video games because I noticed several times nods to the video game crowd.

I could go on but I know none of you will listen to me, you never do, and just assume I'm over analyzing things.

I say watch the Vincent Price version of this film. Closer to the books and alot better. It's a movie made before movies had to appeal to crowds of people. "I Am Legend" is a disaster/horror movie for 12 year olds.

The only good thing about this movie overall was I saw an amazing "Dark Knight" trailer before the film.

You're back on my good side, Spitfire.
