I am Legend

You didn't answer my question, where did the virus originate? Was it from that cancer vacine?

Yes, it was. Origination of the virus in the movie is nothing like the book.

I haven't seen it yet but the Omega Man is in my top 30 movies all-time so I'm sure Legend won't stack up. But I do plan to see it.

This movie sucked hardcore. So underdeveloped it was ridiculous.

The book plot is great. The movie plot was lame.

Trying to find the audiobook so I can throw it on my iPod.

Okay thats it! I have heard nothing but rave reviews about this Omega Man. I will be getting that tommorow along with the Simpsons.

What was it in the book?

[MoSpur]

The acting was great. The movie, not so much. The ending was bad. I was looking for more action/confrontation between him and the "Dark Seekers." Oh well!

[Extra Stout]

YOU!

Here's another spoiler for you guys they ing kill him at the end and I haven't even seen the ing movie, only read the book, so I'm spoiling the book not the movie.

The way the movie changes the ending completely emasculates the whole reason the story is called "I Am Legend" in the first place.

at the end i was expecting chuck norris to kill the vampires

I couldn't make up my mind if it was the same guy or if the graphics just sucked and they all looked the same. But seriously - the CGI on these guys was HORRIBLE. Will Smith really does do a good job in his role and then they just ing rush the ending and pretty much the movie.

This is probably the 2nd movie I've seen this year who had a great acting role ed up by a rushed or weird ending (the other being 310 to Yuma). I have the screener so I've watched it a couple of times and while 75% of this movie is great it just takes a nose dive with the rushed ending. The subtle butterfly's in the movie with the god message are kinda of stupid too. I saw Signs once, I didn't need it thrown into this movie.

So much potential and it came so close yet so far from living up to it.

That's why it's fitting to call the monsters Vampires since they are legendary and that's what humans turn into 'Legend', in the book.

It doesn't stack up...there are a few things that are better about this movie than the Omega Man, and there are quite a few things that are done much worse...the end result is a film that is fairly enjoyable in some parts, but it's just not as memorable of a film as the Omega Man. And I say this as someone who also counts the Omega Man among their favorite films ever.


An Anthony Zerbe is sorely missed IMO. I always liked Zerbe in that film, but I never realized just how important he was to it until I saw this remake...arguably more important than Heston himself.

[fraga]

I thought the movie was good...however I do agree that they should have used live actors instead of CGI actors.

[DannyT]

was pretty good quality thanks for the dvd homeboy....movie was good too

willy is getting old yo
