Thought it was good but have to say I agree with the comments about the abrupt ending. There were plenty of much better ways to end it.

Quote from: DEViANCEso watching I am legend at the age 5 will make a child turn to crime?

we stoped talking about that 2 pages back, the I cant beleave you let your kids watch it was 1/2 joking following on from the joke that I was expecting a nice friendly family film and then cacked myself  :shock:

if I said it first, Id be accused of using it.

Righty.... Back on topic.

Watched it the other night and tbh I wasnt impressed. Will Smith played a good part but the CGI was just awful and the story was very lacking, I spent most of the movie waiting for something to happen and then wham 20min and its all over.

As Dooms said, seemed to start well enough until the car was CGId to hell and back, strangely they were now living in a world where grass was growing through a tarmacked road (and no it wasnt broken).

The film seemed chopped, there was no explanation for why he sprayed liquid behind himself (although you can guess) and in the scene with the bathtub he falls asleep and then wakes up in bed! Ghey.

It was very drawn out, the bits that were left in had not much going for them, sadly.

Could have been so much more.

Thought it was pretty darn good! Overall I enjoyed the film. There was alot of niggles in it that got at me though.

I noticed the bathtub thing.. Also, what was up with the helicopter scene? I was kind of dissapointed it didnt show anything after the other heli started to lose control.

My girlfriend cried when he had to put down sam his dog. heh


Also, couldnt work out whether the trap he got stuck in was one hed set up himself or if one of the cleverer zombies had set it up?

I thought the film was good overall, the trap I think was set up by the zombie he pissed off (by stealing his woman for experiments presumably).

The one point that niggled me (aside from the poor CGI in parts) was the ability of the infected to knock an SUV over by headbutting it at speed without killing themselves, and also smash through a very thick glass screen using the same method.

Id be interested to see if the infected are super strong with bones akin to steel in the book also or if that was a boardroom decision to spice things up!!!.

Saw this last night, thoroughly disappointed. I thought it might have had something up until the daft, abrupt ending. The ending totally spoiled it imo. Total waste of a film that ending.

No explanation was given as to why the antagonists exhibited superhuman ability.

The CG also looked ridiculous - impressive maybe in 2000 but not nowadays!

the fur on the lion was flawless. you guys are idiots.

Just come back from seeing I Am Legend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Admittedly the CG monsters were a bit iffy in places but it didnt detract from my enjoyment of the film. The only two needless parts were a rather steroid-laden Will Smith gets his kit off to exercise (for the ladies I presume?) And the gratuitous car porn a-la the Shelby GT-500 that wasnt used apart from a few shots in the opening of the film. It was exactly what I wanted from a post-apocalyptic film and I really thought it did a much better job with the source material than The Last Man On Earth and The Omega Man. I felt the ending was logical and well placed and came at just the right time and Will Smith did an excellent job with the role, particularly the scenes hinting at the on-set of humanity. The twist was intact as well although I know a lot of people seemed to miss it.

Ill definitely be picking this one up on DVD and really look forward to watching it again. I can understand why there is a lot of criticism about the film, if you go in expecting a zombie flick youll be sorely disappointed, and youll also be left a bit despondent if you expect typical Will Smith action man/tongue in cheek adventure. It does leave a lot to the imagination and it asks more questions than it answers but thats exactly what I like from a great film, I hate cheesy dialogue and daft comments that have been forced into films just to explain things that the audience really should be able to figure out for themselves ("we learned earths languages from the world wide web" a-la Transformers springs to mind"). In my opinion its a solid 8/10, although a lot of people in the cinema seemed to think differently from what I could overhear when everyone left the auditorium. That said I thought 28 Days Later (another post-apocalyptic zombie style film that springs to mind) was abysmal and everyone I know seemed to enjoy it. I cant put my finger on exactly why but it seems to be a real "love it or hate it" marmite type of film.

my friends and i went to see it on boxing day. it took me all bleeding day to organise it so everyone would go and i was really looking forward to it. imagine my suprise when i came out of the cinema feeling rather disappointed. it was an ok film, but the ending was crap and it could have been a hell of a lot better than it was. i kinda felt a bit like id been cheated out of my money.

I know it was based on something else but 48 has a fairly similar setup and is worth a look if you liked I Am Legend.
