What do you guys think about Will Smith's new movie release, "I am Legend?" From the trailer I saw on TV, it could be one of his best hits ever. The stuff I read seem highly notable and say that he's excellent in the movie.

It sort of follows the lines of Resident Evil or any of those zombie movies like Day of the Dead etc....meaning that the majority of mankind has been wiped out cause of a man-made virus. Instead of zombies the people are mutated creatures. I read a little about it on wiki...based on a book by Richard Matheson..it's the 4th adaptation...the last one being 'I am Omega' staring Mark Drasacos which funny was released last November. Funny cause that didn't recieve the amount of publicity as this film probably cause of the star power of Wil Smith. It looks pretty intense of the sole survivor aspect...how would somebody react if he/she was the last person alive....creepy stuff. I'll probably see it tommorrow after work...we'll see...  |

They did not get the idea from another horror movie. It is based on a book with the same name published in 1954. DA said it was based on another movie, so I thought I'd clear that up. I read the book a while ago, and I'm going to see the movie mostly to see how different it is. In the book the lead character is a white man with blond hair, so it's already different just with the actor. And in the book, the scene shown in the preview with Robert and the dog in the bathtub never happens. So it should be interesting.  |

[edit] Wait, I think I was thinking about "I am Omega." I just read that's based on the same novel of sorts as well. Yup, it might've been that; my mistake...

I read some reviews & they say the first hour or so is REALLY good...that Will Smith gives a very excellent performance as the last man on earth (or at least NYC). Also the dog Sam may be the best non-human character since the volleyball in Cast Away...don't ask me...it's what i read. However...also the reviews say that the last half-hour ruins the film...that it deviates away from the book. It is this that prevents the film from actually being truly great is what reviewer said. So this worries me abit. These are the words of reviewers so you can take it to heart or not...i'm still going to see it after work today. ***side note*** Also i've learned that the new Batman trailer will be shown. I saw it at Youtube which is where i learned it will be shown...& if you've seen it as well...you know how awesome it is. For those who have not...go to Youtube to see it before it gets removed. The one i saw was a cellphone video so the quality was bad...but still it rocked! Heath Ledger as the Joker...just his performance in the trailer makes me want to see this so bad!!! Trust me he's THAT good!!!! |

I saw I Am Legend just yesterday, and I really liked it. Frankly, Will Smith just acted beautifully, very few actors could express so much with so few words. There are some really crushing moments in the film, and every encounter with the mutated people is tense and terrifying, especially the very first. The ending was bit weak (the epilogue, I mean), I thought, but after the ride that preceeded it, it's not that big a deal. But...quite frankly, the film was completely ecclipsed by the trailer for The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger is AMAZING. Every line he delivers is eerie and creepy; it makes Jack Nicholson's Joker look completely sane. He's quite impressive, and I recommend everyone check out the trailer at some point. "Come on! Let's put a smile on that face! [maniacal laugh]" |

Saw it last night....well i have to agree with the critics on this one. First things first even though it was about a 2 hr movie for me it didn't feel like it. The pacing of the film was pretty good. Will Smith is at his usual best...his portrayal of the 'last man on earth' was top class...like Roq-san said he delivered even when he wasn't saying much. His emotions (especially after a specific event...people who saw it know what i mean) really shown through. I for one didn't really like how they did the mutant humans....every single one of them looked fake....they all looked like the CG they used in I-Robot. If they used actual people to portray them then the menacing factor would be amped up. The tension however when they are near can cut through anything....especially the first encounter. The first hour & a half was brilliantly done...the cinemetography of a desolate NYC felt real....the feeling of alone & emptiness was sometimes overwhelming. I can't say that for the last half hour though...it basically ends with your typical action sequence & predictable outcome...again i agree the after the brilliance of the first half the 2nd was a letdown. The dog 'Sam' sometimes stole the spotlight on brief occasions....again probably the best non-human character since Wilson from Cast Away. The interactions between Sam & Will Smith were at times very touching. Overall i really enjoyed it....if you don't mind the letdown the first half was worth the price of admission. *side note* I believe Heath Ledger's Joker may garner him oscar nods...so far from what i've seen his version is closer to the comics. Meaning the Joker is much more menacing & insane. He delivers his line with so much charisma.. My fave part in the trailer is near the end when he says to Batman "C'mon HIT ME!!!"...i felt it was an homage to the first film where Jack Nicholson is waiting for the Batwing before shooting it down with the insanely large gun out of his pants. My most anticipated movie!!!! Going to be so F-ing good!!!! |

i've seen the movie & i'd have to agree that it was 2-hours, it actually didn't feel like 2-hours but it felt like it was long, plus the movie would've been much better if there was a bad ending than a good & the good ending was not great at all.

Just watched it without any planning beforehand (i got dragged by my friends O.o), and i'm glad i did. Everyone complains about the ending? I personally liked it :) Had it been a bad ending then all his hard work for 3 years would be useless... Well, maybe it's because i'm comparing it with 30 days of night's ending, which i just watched recently as well. And frankly, the ending totally sucked compared to i am legend. Will Smith's acting is awesome indeed, no arguing that. I like the way he spent his life alone for 3 years. The way he talked to mannequins in order to stay sane in the middle of loneliness... I found it very interesting. And of course, the setting is awesome. To create an image of a deserted NYC like that... Brilliantly done. Then, i always liked the encounters with the mutants. The thrill is always there! And, since i got the front seat while watching it... The loud voice always got me started XD I have just a few things to ask about this movie. How come the water and electricity run without management for 3 years? Then, in 3 years, wouldn't all the food supply be expired already? He's got one hell of a stomach there XD |

I just caught this movie earlier tonight.. one of the best this year~! Will Smith is turning into an awesome actor.. Sam is pretty good for a four-legged co-star XD I agree with some of the comments that the epiloque ending was so-so, seeing how the rest of the movie was pretty excellent, but compared to Resident Evil Extinction this ending was much better. And unexpected XD I dunno if I would've survived alone in NYC like that, even with Sam along. The Cast Away situation was bad enough, but in that there was always a chance to see civilization again. That's some determination there.. once I stayed all alone in a rented apartment for a week in some place where I didn't know anybody and couldn't speak the language properly.. and with no internet connection.. it's not an experience I'd gladly repeat @_@ Well, like Will, the Tv always helps.. just turned it on all the time even though I wasn't watching it. EDIT: I forgot to say this.. Bob Marley was, and will always be.. a visionary and a great man.
