I saw that film such a long time ago, I can barely remember it... I thought it worked well as your standard zombie horror, but the plot was a little thin. One bit I never understood was where the dummy was on the bridge. He (Will Smith) goes psycho towards it and gets ambushed in the most implausible way. Can someone enlighten me on that bit.

Did he not just go out in the dark `cos he was wracked with pain after losing the dog looking for revenge? I`ll watch out for it next viewing ;)

The ending sucked , why didnt he go with the others - maybe he loved his dog that much he wanted to be with him in heaven

He knew that if he did then the mutants would break thru and get them ;)

heh i remember watching this when it first came out.

Loved it.

Even if i did *wail like a puff* at certain points, or to put it differently, s##t a brick.:dump:

Great film, not sure if i prefered this or the film it was based on (Omega Man).

Oh, Geordie, You need to see the alternate version now mate, see which ending you preferred.

"Oh, Geordie, You need to see the alternate version now mate, see which ending you preferred."

What`s this buddy, pray tell?? :)

Mind, I did comment to the Trouble after it finished that I was waiting, during the whole film, for Smithy to turn into a super hero ... figured he got mutated somehow. Turns out I thought I was watching Hancock :D :D

Well, he goes boom, or he doesn't.

The alternate ending, will makes contact with the pack leader (in the lab, from behind the glass), he gets the girl, and they leave them in peace. Will and co all make it to the sanctuary.

The end.

Just as bad as the normal ending! ... Now hancock... that was a good film!

The film was so different compared to the original book by Richard Matheson. Then I suppose most Will Smith films are like that. I Robot, now that was a great film! but had virtually nothing to do with the book by Asimov.

Didn't he die at the end as a point of giving himself to save others. Im pretty sure its all to do with Christianity and the way jesus did the same.

Hahahahaha!

Seriously though, I loved I am Legend. It was scary I thought, no eerie is a better word. But I thought it could have done with a better ending as well.

Yeah, good film. But it is worth watching the alternate ending as the other one was pants.

I watched the video for Miami a while back and was shocked to see that Eva Mendes is in it, way before she was famous for movies, she's the chick in the car that goes "welcome to Miami" and then they did movie together years later!! :smilie:

The whole time I was watching I am Legend, I was thinking why isn't Will Smith making a point of telling us the zombies clearly still have emotional reactions...? Like when he steals the woman zombie and the man zombie comes out in the sun to get her, to me that looked like he was doing it for her but Will Smith did a recording right after saying "they are becoming more stupid and the male zombie came out in the sun to get food (being him)", was I the only one that thought the zombie was after him cus he had his "girlfriend"?! :confused:

Didn't think much of the film myself. Some bits were kinda funny, like the mannequin bits. But I just found it a bit dull tbh. Not one of Smiths better films. Anyone seen Seven Pounds? Found it kinda predictable, but thought it was a brilliant film none the less.

This film could have been better especially if it showed more of how the people changed over a period of time. Plus alternate ending better
