I will not say how tho

and why does anyone care about the dog dying?!

1. 6 billion people die so why do you care about the dog?
2. its only a movie so its NOT REAL when the actor dog ACTS dead!

geeeez

Seriously….in todays actors who could have done a better job.??? Jackman, Bana, Pitt.

but still im going to see it cant wait.

The book: Recommend in all aspects, go buy it now.
The movie: I don’t compare it to the book, I liked them both greatly. To make a successful movie you can’t copy the book directly, it would actually be sort of bland for the majority of viewing (not including myself). Another problem I had was with everything they were trying to cram into about 2 hours.. Great movie, I’ve seen it twice so far, but I would adored it if it had been a 3-4 hour movie focusing heavily on him surviving.

As always, Will Smith has delivered acting excellence, and this is a movie worth watching again and again.

Will Smith gives a great performance, the cinematography is great.

Now for the not so good news:

If you are looking for an action film this is not it, there is some action but not alot, if you are looking for a message movie, this isnt really it either.

The film diverges from the book and previous films, theres nothing wrong with changing a story but when you do YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE STORY STILL MAKES SENSE.

The problems:

1. It is indicated that Will Smiths character is an army colonel surgeon and that he was working on a cure he is even on the cover of Time magazine during the initial crisis, ok, he is the “only” immune person out of billions, BUT WHY? This is never explained at all, if they intend that he had a natural immunity then there is NOW WAY that he the one doctor in charge of finding a cure would be the one immune that is ludicrous! This was explained way better in the charlton heston version the Omega Man, he had found what he thought was the cure but it was untested then all hell broke loose and he had to inject himself or die and he was lucky it worked this explained how the one doctor who was expected to find a cure was immune, now maybe this was written this way in I am Legend and a part was edited out I dont know but Akiva Goldman was a writer and He SUCKS he ruined the Lost in Space movie too.

So him being immune is a Major flaw….

2. Ok if he was immune why didnt he try to use his own blood to find the cure for others??? in the Omega Man he did!

3. He finds a possible cure in the film that sort of works on rats but not on humans till he later figures out he has to chill them with ice during the treatment. Why then when his beloved dog gets infected doesnt he try the cure he is workng on on the darn dog???!!!! If it worked on rats it might work on dogs?! and anyways it would be better than doing nothing if it didnt work and the dog died then what is there to loose?? and no he didnt inject the dog he was taking a blood sample which also was dumb as he found out she was infected before a test could even be performed.

4. The creatures that humans turned into didnt work at all! they looked like the fake cgi they were and they were never fully explained where as in the book it was very clear.

In the book the people infected turned into “vampires’ for lack of a better name, this meant they went into comas during the day and were only active at night and they needed blood instead of food to survive BUT were nonetheless still human they could think, act and remember like they did before, then there were the infected ones that were the “undead” or zombie vampires, these were ones that died or were already dead when the infection spread, basically a living vampire version was “killed” it came back as a undead zombie vampire that sitll had some memories and could still talk and act in a limited way.

THIS WAS WAY COOLER THAN IN THIS NEW MOVIE

The death of his family as tragic as it was in Legend it was way more devastating in the book, in the book when his little girl dies he has to personally throw her little body onto a huge communal funeral pyre, when his wife dies he can forgo the tragedy of the pyre and decides to bury her himself not know what will happen at this point, she arises and digs her way out of the ground and as one of the undead zombie vampires returns home like a lost pet and is calling his name knocking on the door to get back into the house!! how horrifying is that?!
this version was in the Vincent Price film the Last Man on Earth which although a very dated b/w film is has the much superior and more accurate to the book script.

Ok the whole NEW ending which puts a positive ending to the story which neither the book or previous movies had I found to just be a cop out and felt slapped onto the end because they might have felt a depressing ending to be too down for the holidays?!

What the book was really about and how it ended was very different and much much better, in the book at the end Neville realizes that the human race has now mutated into this new living and unliving vampire species they still function but as an entirely new society and that he is the “dinosaur” the throwback the neanderthal and that he is the enemy the monster going around killing the family members of the new human/vampire race and realizes that the real cure is to kill himself and let this new race of human/vampires live on and create their new civilization hence the name “I am Legend” he really is the last of the to become legendary old human race.

Will Smith is very good but

Script not as good as previous films were

ending is unique but weak

Dog dies

I predict after initial box office it will drop of pretty quick and sweeney todd will bury it

You all are sci fi buffs…..these are 2 of the best ever movie MONSTERS so to speak.

I here it will be a gorey shoot em up movie with amazing special effects…

I am legend is gonna be at least a 3.5 to 4 out of 5 movie i’m sure.

As an older guy 43….the Alien Predator thing should be a good fun movie.

I’m tired of seeing movies where Humans are torturing or hacking away…..theser creatures just want to survive and flourish on our beautiful planet.

Problem i noticed is the hybrid Alien has a predator plasma blaster on its shoulder…suggesting the Aliens take not only the DNA of the host but perhaps its abilities to work with the hosts equipment.

remeber in ALiens when the aliens cut the power.. and Hicks says ” there just animals how could they know to cut the power.”

I think we should winding down on this movie…
i be hearing from you all after the Movie.

I’m sure we’ll have lots to comment on.

AVP R should be on your list for the next ovie you see.

Same thing….an organism threaten to multiply and take over the planet..only these organisms can be Ar 15, or blown to bits..

I’m stoked about both movies and there close proximity in time to each other..

Get out -b-….you have till chrsitmas otherwise stock up on ammo and have the right weapons.

If you watch the U.S. Trailer he yells “No, NO!” And looks like he’s pointing at the Dogs Death but if you go to Yahoo and watch the clip “Snared” you’ll see that he is pointing to what seems to be a dead guy.

Not sure if the dog will die it just won’t be at that part. Just an interesting find I found. =]
