I am going to see "I am Legend." I'm a bit of a buff of the apocalyptic genre and Will Smith is often good (Throw out Wild, Wild West and MiB II, and the guy has a decent body of work).

Do you think my wife would notice if I snuck out of the Ward Christmas party to go see this?

It might certainly be time better spent...

I'm pretty sure Pirates 3 would be time better spent.

Yes this is the third remake of this movie. The first also carried the book title I believe. I am familiar with the story though I never read the book. I hate the vampire genre so I'll see this if the wife wants to but I doubt I'll go on my own.

Ok, thanks for the info.

If there are vampires in this film, I may have to reconsider if I see it. I don't know why, but I dig vampire films.

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.

I agree 100% with this movie review. I agreed with Rocky on a movie. My life is now over.

Your assimilation is under way.

It's the same story as Omega Man from the same book published in 1954. This is the third time the book has been made into a film:

Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price
Omega Man with Charlton Heston
I Am Legend with Will Smith

It's considered the most compelling and realistic vampire story ever written.
