Well they wouldn't change it that much. This was actually a remake of an older movie, not sure of the name. I want to see, I think I am going this weekend.

was actually based (very unfaithfully I've heard) on a book of the same title

I saw it Friday
I thought it was pretty good, though some of the scenes seemed drawn out, or longer than they should have bin just to make the movie longer

I wasn't hugely fond of it. I really liked the scenery and atmosphere and the general storyline, but it felt too much like they were trying to make a "feel-good" horror movie, to spread the appeal to a wider audience. I really didn't like the ending, especially pulling God into it...

Also, the darkseekers were very obvious CG, and it looked like they drew their design inspiration from Bat Boy ala Weekly World News.

It was entertaining, though, and I'm picky about movies.

I loved 'till until the ending. The ending really ruined the whole movie for me. The whole fact that more people were alive kinda killed the whole "alone, nobody to help" theme, which I loved. Pulling religion into any movie is generally a bad idea, unless it's part of the whole story. It just seemed really tacked on.

AHHHHHH FYREL!!!! AHHHHH!! I STILL WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE!! WHY DID YOU JUST RUIN THAT FOR ME?? AT LEAST PUT IT IN HIDE TAGS OR SAY [B]SPOILER ALERT![/B] OR SOMETHING! Ahhhhh god dammit .

Lolz, ya really, I was gonna see it for my birthday. Thanks!(<COMPLETE AND TOTAL SARCASM!) Now what am i gonna do.
Lolz, its cool, now I can chill with me girl.

spolier
all and all i think Will Smith is a wonderful actor..... and the feel good horrors ill agree they're not the best but i thought it was nice to have some comedy relief

This movie was flat out amazing. (And yeah, it was loosely based off the movie 'Omega Man' Which was based off of a book 'I am Legend', written in the 50's.

This movie was definitely one of the best I've seen all year.

I mean, I'm a big fan of movies with a little bit of depth, so I was quite entertained, there's symbolism and foreshadowing everywhere. The butterfly? I mean, look at the beginning of the movie, it's thrown in there on a poster about God, then all those mentions of butterflies? Good Stuff.

Hm. I guess so. I read the book and I thought it was pretty well done...

fyrel man lol wanted to see it too

I didn't particularly like the film.

The photography was nice, but and the first part was pretty good, but I feel it lost it in the second half.

liked it. i mean, not great, but definitely entertaining, and it was very interesting to think what it would be like to have no human contact for 3 years. i dunno, thought it was cool.

I thought it had alot more potential than what it ended up with...I feel they could have done so much more.

i, myself, absolutely LOVED it. i then read the book, and could not be happier with the huge dichotomy between the two. if the movie had been closely based on the book, it would have been infinitely less interesting to read the one after seeing the other, or vice versa. as for the quality of the movie, well, i thought it was both totally awesome and a good movie as well (two different things, in my mind). see, i don't think it was a horror movie. i wasnt scared or grossed out by it; it seemed to me like a sci-fi post-apocalyptic-quasi-action-psychological-movie-with-horror-elements-ie-zombie/vampire-things, which worked in my opinion incredibly well. plus the new york city three years later thing was really cool, i thought, because i live there. and will smith rocks. that is all.

it's an effect of the virus, as shown when Sam's (the dog's) hair falls out after she becomes infected. yeah. wow i sound pretentious.

OOOO i forgot about that i guess its just a cowinkiedink

i loved it, though it is not 'really' based on the book...

part 1 was awesome because of the love of man and his best friend, some awesome scenes, the last one with the dog especially.

part 2 was really good because of the sudden changes in plot development.

some problems though...

the kid in the movie was not given enough time to really make an impact, other than being there...

the fact that the house was so easy to break into seems rather stupid. wouldn't you move to a more secure place somewhere in the city or at least fortify the place BETTER, MUCH BETTER.

the monsters were smart enough to follow them hope, remember it and come back after them, but not smart enough to open the 'chimney'?? door and find the girl and the kid after seeing them go in?? yeah he had a grenade... wtf?

the ending was sudden, and short - without much meaning...


i still think one of best smiths movies.

i liked it, as a joke i say, they lost their hair and were jealous of the people who had hair and ate/convert them it was a great movie ending was kinda bad but i lived so yeah

It wasn't that bad actually, it was one of the few movies that made me jump. But not from fear or surprise, but from astonishment. The movie was edited to absolute supremacy, I couldn't have done it better myself. The way the past and present were pasted together in such a non linear but clear timeline was fabulous.

The creatures though, they could have been so much better. They seemed like the same old same old, hairless, bulging muscles, and a non-descript language. Can we have something different please? Gimme something to fear in the night, is that too much to ask?

One thing I did notice about the creatures though that was very interesting. When the girl vampire (or what ever you want to call them) was captured and the huge male vampire exposed himself to the sun I had an "AH HA!" moment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was the male vampire feeling compassion for the girl? Can they still love even though they have become uncivilized? It sure seems that way to me.

Oh and I saw a continuity problem. (and yes I have only seen it once) When Will Smith is yelling at the mannequin in the middle of the street the right drawstring to the orange hood is flipped over the shoulder. When the camera does the triptych and goes back the mannequin the right drawstring is hanging. Just a little fact for ya

Interestingly enough...

I read the book. I could not put it down. I haven't watched the movie.

My brother watched the movie. He did not like it. He did not read the book.

We recounted to each other the plot details of each and it was laughable how totally different they are. Convinced me not to see the movie.
