I Am Legend
 
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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

Spoiler:
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.

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 12-18-2007 07:40 PM

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.
