*SPOILER*Saw the movie..."I am Legend" yesterday....

[WARputer]

I just wanted to get some others thoughts on the movie....mine. WTF !!!! Movie started off kickass and then the dog and him die. What a shitty ending !

[Mr Lefty]

read the book... it's completely diffrent... still a kinda WTF ending... but COMPLETELY DIFFRENT...

still not sure which I like better

[Dave]

book was better IMO, i hate it when hollywood adjusts things for a happy ending. cheapened the signifigance of the character, not to mention the title. it was supposed to mean that he as the last human alive had become a mythical monster like the vampire society he had accidentally created. but eh i spose id have to expect hollywood to screw things up :rolleyes:

yeah... they went in completely different directions... really... the only thing they shared were the disease... the woman... and... that's about it. and even those were different... oh well... both were decent... though now that I think about it (it's been a year or so since i've read the book... I do like the book better... it was a weird ending but like you said... it wasn't that "Hollywood happy ending"

[Dave]

yeah its kinda like comparing do androids dream of electric sheep to blade runner to the directors cut lol all three have wildly different interpretations

[WARputer]

It seems that Hollywood is killing off the main characters in movies, more & more. I knew that when his dog died his time was nearing the end.

On another note, if the world was crawling with zombies, the last place I would wanna be is Manhatten Island.....shit, move to the country, like they did in 29 Days .

[Trip]

I like the book ending, it's not happy and the humans don't win. Hollywood likes to make the humans win too much.

OK - here's MY question from the movie: they blow up the bridges and all access to the island and the scary dudes and Will SMith are left on there. Ok fine. But HOW did the animals get on there? Swim? I don't understand - and then how did the lady get over there to save him. FLY?
I thought the movie was good and I sort of understood the ending...

[6doublefive321]

Personally, I thought it sucked. Another example of making up for a poor screenplay with CGI effects. The original Charlton Heston version was better. At least it had the 70's campiness.

[fatburg]

I watched it last night, I was entertained but was expecting more. One question I have: After he chases the dog into the dark building, and we first see the group of infected, WTF are they doing? They are all standing in a circle around something rocking. Looked like some weird Japanese porn

[NONE_too_SOFT]

bukake.

Reminded me of the screne in "Silent Hill" with the zombie nurses crammed in the room.

they didn't blow up the bridge (or I didn't think they did) I thought the helicopter flew into it and destroyed it... but there are other bridges.. and do they have a zoo on the island? figured that's where the animals came from anyways... :idk:

[Mudpuppy]

i thought it was ok.. not bad.. my problem was the whole dawn of the dead zombie thing is so overdone.. but it was a well done movie anyways..

yeah zoo was implied

[dReWpY]

this is gonna sound bitch, but im not a fan of the dog dying, cant they kill a cat or squid, why a dog?

[t-homo]

I agree. I love dogs. I really think I miss my dog more than my parents while I am at school. Maybe because I talk to my parents once or twice a week.

[Mr Lefty]

fuck... kill the bitch keep the dog! :lol:

that was pretty much my take on it as well, the whole crap with the dog dying was just bullshit...and yes, sappy as it may be, I kinda like the whole happy ending kinda thing, but him dying and then them getting all safe and crap, waaaaayyyy too unrealistic...but thats why we watch movies, the entertainment factor...as for the animals, yeah, it was the zoos i think...

[Rider]

I own it but haven't seen it yet.. :idk: Thanks for ruining the ending...

This movie is hella old now, if it is still in theaters I can see the point, but this thing has been out on DVD for awhile. I think you are on your own at that point. :lol:

[nhgunnut]

Ok guess it is time to remind everyone of my age again but This movie is a remake (deliberate or not) of The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. The effects are better in I am Legend arguably the acting is better too but the editing and directing in "I am Legend" Sucks! I went to the theater knowing it was a remake and got up and walked out it was so bad.

It's actually not a remake, it is an adaptation. There are a lot of versions of this story and are all based off a book. The book is actually called "I am legend," and it is a classic piece of literature.
