I Am Legend (could have spoilers)

NuMB3Rs · 01-09-2008, 03:52 PM

i saw the movie. it was suppose to be all awesome and a classic. to me it was a waist of time. im glad i didnt pay to see it in theaters. dont get me wrong, will smith was a good actor in this movie, it is a hard part because all the attention is on you because your the ONLY actor (not counting the dog). i thought the ending was a mix of cool and "WTF I PAYED FOR THAT?!". it was too short IMO. i from what ive gotten from the book, (Yes its a book) there was much more storyline and the movie slaughtered the entire plot to 1 hr and 50 minutes. i thought it could of been better. anyone else see it?

i saw it and my opinion is exactly the same as youres. ending sucked. Will Smith is a good actor but Fred was better

NuMB3Rs · 01-09-2008, 04:00 PM

yes fred. that was the best part (i could see that becoming a internet meme soon).

Sullivan · 01-09-2008, 04:01 PM

for those of you who havent seen it, this is the best part of the movie. YouTube - I Am Legend - Fred (Extended + better quality)

I thought the movie was really good, and liked the ending.

also, this should be Movie/Music Reviews

Pirate-M.Lifnen · 01-09-2008, 08:19 PM

I liked the movie.
I thought the ending was pretty good. It wasn't one of those "awww, and everyone goes back to normal" endings, that really just turn the movie into the over simplified ending that Americans seem to need to "understand" anything. But there was definitely some resolve.
For 1h 50m it really was quite good.
I especially liked how it built upon the story so well, showing his daily life, and showing how he progressed into eventually getting tracked down and giving up his life. It was done really well.

Edit: And yeah, discussions of movies belong in the Movie/Music Reviews section.

i thought the movie could have been better, just like more explanation about the virus outbreak and stuff. i didnt read the book so i wasnt that disappointed. and i swear to God when i saw that part with Fred, i saw his head move. either i just am retarded and imagined it or that bitch looked at me for half a second. either way that freaked me out.

Sullivan · 01-09-2008, 08:41 PM

all the comments on that video say his head moves, i dont see it. but after he gets shot and falls his chest moves in and out which is weird.

soul-ja · 01-09-2008, 08:45 PM

I thought it was a good movie. Oh and that sucked that he had to kill his own dog.

Movie was good, but I agree the ending was pretty cheesy.

"We are his legacy, this is his Legend."

or was it the other way around

That was dumb yeah.
The very ending was cheesy, with the little village and stuff...
But, the grenade blast and a little after that wasn't bad.

Product F(RED) · 01-09-2008, 10:39 PM

They weren't vampires though...
The main thing being that their bodies weren't dead at all, they were just mutated into the monster they were.
In the book maybe, but they weren't vampires in the movie, so getting a non-vampire to look like a vampire is just pointless.
They looked like zombies though, kind of.
