I am Legend (the Movie)?

[Razorguns]

Him seeing those zombies in the dark was f'n freaky. i jumped.

the rest of the movie was stupid.

esp. the vain attempt at showing his mental struggle, by showing him talking to mannequins. It didn't work - looked stupid.

I haven't seen this film, but I like Will Smith as well and shall be voting for him in the 2016 presidential election.

I loved Heston's The Omega Man, though.

i don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there was an alternate ending that was better than the one in theaters. closer to what happened in the book.. will smith realizes that the zombies/vampires still have a little human in them, and takes pity on them.

I'd agree with that. I really liked it up until the point the girl showed up.

Cheers,

I Am Legend is a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in Los Angeles.



The book takes place in the then-future of 1976-1979. The novel opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of a bacterium, the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing more vampires.

Neville's psychological disposition is a significant element in the novel, and his struggles with despair imbue the character with intensity and gravitas. The author emphasizes that he is an ordinary, flawed man trying to deal with an extraordinary catastrophe. It also explores the loneliness of being by himself, excitement and hope of finding others, and disappointment over still finding himself alone.

Much of the story is devoted to Neville's struggles to understand the plague that has infected everyone around him, and the novel details the progress of his discoveries. Instead of asking the reader to accept a supernatural explanation for vampire phenomena, the author strives to offer scientific basis for such symptoms as aversion to garlic, craving of fresh blood, and resistance to bullets but vulnerability to stakes and sunlight. The aversion to mirrors and crosses is classified as psychological.
