I Am Legend
is intense and Will Smith does a great job.
It reminded me of a Charleton Heston film, named, Omega Man.

The movie definetly has it's intense moments.
The main and biggest problem is the sudden and abrupt ending. It was almost as if they said.."CRAP we're out of money....cut the budget,,,edit everything and end it now!" That was annoying.

That's kinda how Omega Man ended. It was a bit too abrupt.

Were the rumors true? Did they show the first 7 minutes of The Dark Knight?

They showed a dark knight trailer, is all.
I didn't hate I am Legend, but it was an extreme disappointment. The source material is a very thoughtful existential exploration dealing with the nature of human existence, our relationship with nature, and our trust in science, whereas the movie is a brainless action/horror movie with a very lame action hero ending. I still enjoyed the quieter moments, but they really didn't delve into the ramifications of any of what was going on other than "wow this guy's the only human alive; that would suck." And of course, even in our most horrible dystopian nightmares, God, who in this scenario apparently didn't have any problem killing 5.5+ billion people, still gets credit for saving the day. |

Aren't this movie and Omega Man based on the same book? And isn't that book written by the same idiot who gave us the despicable Somewhere in Time?

I believe Omega Man was based on the same book. I really liked the movie. I agree about the abruptness of the ending, but Will Smith is great, and yes it was intense, it wore me out.

It looks really good. I think tomorrow is the day the trailer is supposed to pop up online. When I heard Heath Ledger was going to play "The Joker" I was extremely skeptical.......let's just say even with the small tidbits offered in the trailer...I'm not skeptical anymore.

I wasn't impressed with the trailer for the Dark Knight.
I liked "I am Legend". It's like Castaway meets 28 days later. Of course it helps that survival stuff always interests me, and my patronus is a german shepherd/wolf. |
