will smith was great

but i hated the movie..

they RUINED the book, which was awesome..

the movie suffered from a few bad cheesy modernizations.. The Omega Man and The Last Man On Earth were both better movies..

If you remake a remake of a remake, and then add cheesyness to it, you're bound to fail.. hence I Am Legend..

like, oh, of course, the night that they all come to your house, you've finally realized that you FOUND THE CURE.. I mean come on, a 7th grader can write that shit..

Anyone who liked the movie i encourage you to read the book and then reevaluate your thoughts.. the book is completely different and superior.
C'mon, The Omega Man was the ultimate in Cheese. Being cool with black people must have been nouveau riche back in the 70s as evidenced by Heston's black girlfriend in the flick. And that ending... he died standing?

I can understand if you think "I am Legend" was a poor adaptation of the book, but it was just as good, if not better, than "The Omega Man". It was not a remake but a different adaptation just like with "The Thing". That was a second adaptation of the source material. They couldn't have remained faithful to the novella; nobody would be interested in that as a feature film. The ending was so anti-climactic. With a storyline that involves sci-fi and vampires you HAVE to inject some action, otherwise audiences will be bored.

Will Smith was excellent and at times his performance was almost on par with Tom Hank's in "Castaway". The CGI was godawful; I wish they had just used real actors. They crafted this movie to be right up the alley of a mainstream audience.
