I was gonna watch it last night because the controversy surrounding it caught my eye.

I stayed in and watched a film called Idiocracy instead. Twice.

Going to see I am legend tonight.

Very disappointing imo. Ive read the book (and the others in the trilogy) and they were really good but the film just seemed to drag on. Was really boring for the first three quarters.

strange, it scared Krystal, but the Resident Evil films (18s) didnt.

Spoiler next.

Leila loved it, the bear fight to be King, was her favorite bit.

Finally got a copy on DVD. The problem seems to be its rather like expecting a three course meal and getting a packet of popcorn with some popping candy thrown in. Initially nothing much seems to happen and then its all over and you are left wondering WTF happened? TBH its a bit like my relationships with women :/

Thought it was utter rubbish to be honest, by far the worst film Ive seen recently.

I really enjoyed the books and found the film a bit disapointing, could of been alot better.

It is not a mega bad film but it was flat and bland really. You can tell they went through the book an said "we must put this bit in" and basically felt like chunks of a story put in some sort of order and put into a movie with no real flow through them which stands out when a character appears says a bit and then buggers off to only appear in another scene and supposedly making sense to be there. It all does not really work

I thought it was excellent.
