I AM LEGEND

Going to see it Sunday, and I'm hoping for the best. I won't be expecting the mood of Last Man on Earth, or the 70's camp of Chuck's Omega Man, but I hope it will be entertaining.

this is such a great story that can be adapted to different eras and social climates, I can't believe they had such a hard time getting it made.

Will is a fine actor and a pretty sharp guy, who has done extremely well for himself. i usually enjoy his work, I just hope this one of his more dialed-down performances.

A few pretty dark flicks coming out for the holiday season...I love it, lol.

Man Abbie, I don't know how you could have given this flick a B- and Golden Compass a B+. I thought GC was terrible, in the D range, while I Am Legend eeked out a high B.

When the film enters into the third act the movie as a whole does slip up a bit, but this is a very cool post-apocalyptic thriller, and any shortcomings Legend had was more than made up for by the friggin' incredible Dark Knight attached trailer. LEDGER IS THE MAN!

kaybar I agree with you, except that I don't think the movie slips at all. For those that were worried about so called "Smith momments", there really aren't any. He plays it straight. There really isn't any of that over confidence, I can take on the world if I have to attitude he displays in some of his movies. He comes across as vulnerable and human and in no way immune or unaffected by the situation he's in. I loved it. Man the critics here are tough. B-?
And that Batman trailer was great. Nothing there to think this movie won't live up to the hype. Now I just need to get to the I-MAX to catch the prologue.

Oh man. Sounds like a good review but I was planning on seeing this thing in Imax, now Im a little hesistant. Is it worth it. B- man.

I gave it an A on enjoyability; as a general movie, maybe I should have given a slightly lower grade (B+ as a minimum), but as a thriller, I thought pretty much anybody (who likes thrillers) would like it. There was only one line that later I thought could be construed as a small plot hole and should have been left out. The vampy guys seemed a tad toonish at times, but otherwise it was a fun ride that didn't miss it's stop.

Again, if you're trying to decide, I think it would look cool on IMAX, but I didn't see it there.

Anybody here also read the book? If so, how does it compare to it?

I hate watching movies like this because you know the character you are going to feel for the most.. (Sam the dog) is going to suffer a horrific death and instead of watching the movie enjoying it, you will be wondering what scene is going to be the dog's last.

The conept of the movie is overdone but I am always open to new interpertations because lets face it, its an intriguing one that always asks, "What would I do if I was in this situation?"

Well I just watched the movie here in St. Louis at an IMAX theater so I could see the Batman/Joker prologue. Definately worth seeing at IMAX for that reason since only IMAX gets that Batman/Joker prologue. The movie was really interesting and solid for the first 2/3. Then it gets silly (a huge convenient/lucky moment) and it sets up the end which is even more silly in my opinion. Too bad some moron had to ruin what was a solid movie.

Mephisto, so you are saying its just like another one of those movies like Independence Day with the "give it a cold" relates to a computer virus and everything miraculously works out there after? That always makes the movie cheesy and never did like those kinds.
