Saw it the other day. Seemed like it was missing something, though overall it was pretty cool.

It would've been a great movie had I left the theatre 5 minutes before the ending. It ruined it for me =[

The ending sucks then eh?

I'll be watching it soon...I'm interested to see how it goes .

Yeah the end was crappy and should have been thought through more.

Looks like I'll be one pissed off atom then as I can't stand crappy endings .

Went to see I Am Legend this evening. I was really looking forward to it. The story seemed great and I think Will Smith is a great actor so all things pointed to a great film....and it was. I felt a little robbed in the end though.....everything seemedto come together far too quickly for my liking.

Well worth a watch though

[Alex]

I thought the ending was ok. Another mediocre movie with Will Smith though.

Why didn't he throw the god damn grenade through the hole in the screen once the dude made one instead of lunging into it himself aswel. That annoyed me.

The film was so slow paced! I kept thinking Jesus this has had a slow paced start....but that continued until the end.
I even saw a storyline emerging that didn't actually exist, but probably would have made it more interesting:

The watchers put the manikin inside his own trap to trap him. Their intelligence levels are rising. But no. We find out nothing about how it got there, and they're still as stupid as when it started.

[Ilya]

yea I heared the movies sucks... and the ending was horrible....

[Bão]

I thought it was a decent movie. It was pretty slow pace for most of the movie, but when I got to the end, I was kind of shocked and sad that it ended that way.

I was hoping he would cure the head "manikin." Doctor Neville noted that his intelligence seemed to go down when he took a step into the sunlight to roar. I think it was perhaps his wife before they were infected. There were lots of areas that should have been clarified towards the end for the audience as Sidazoid mentioned.

I was going to see this in a few days but now you've told me its got a bad ending I definitely won't. I am fussy about endings, they have to surprise me and keep me thinking about them all night....like SAW 1.

The whole story doesn't sounds dissimilar to 28 days later which also had an ending I didn't like

I watched the first 5 minutes of it online and I did not get what was happening. Though it was kind of dumb of a movie, lol. It's reminds me of those movies where one American man kills an army of bad guys and saves a girl which in the end with she cries on his soldier and then they are under the sheets, haha.

I dunno, overall I just didn't get much or it and I can't really say if it was good due to me only watching the first 5 minutes. I can say, however, that it did not appeal to me.

[nox]

it was a phenomenal movie and i will definitely watch it a couple more times. my only complaint is that the whole reason that the book was named "I am legend" is absent in the movie :\.

i believe the ending was on point and necessary to fulfill the tone of the movie. (click spoiler to read my point)

his entire purpose of staying and not leaving NYC was to find a cure. "this is ground zero" as he called it, once he found the cure there was no reason for him to live other than making sure it was in safe hands. his wife and family were dead, and i thought his fate of death would be obvious to most people once this was revealed. although anna & ethan guided robert through character development and allowed the audience to realize how socially inept he had become, the underlying reason for their creation to transport the vaccination of KV.

this is because it is the type of the movie that unveils the background story as it goes along, in this case primarily through robert's dreams/flashbacks. by the way, you're first sentence assessment is incorrect and that is not how the movie plays out at all.

This movie sucked. atleast I didnt pay to watch it. I movie hopped from Hitman to I am Legend

your previous movie choice indicates your horrid taste, therefore nulling your point / possible argument

[tastyphoxette]

I thought it was a good movie. Not my absolute favorite ever, but it was definitely entertaining.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE FRED!?

Although I do want extra parts of the story to be explained for me...

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Like the Intelligence of the Creatures...

Anyway, I think it ended better than The Mist.
Not as good as Vincent Price's. But that's because... it was Vincent Price, damn.

the infected were not necessarily smart, except the alpha male (the one who setup the trap, knocked robert's car over, tracked their home, bashed the window open). he was chasing him because robert took his "mate", the alpha female

i didn't see The Mist, was it as badly made as The Fog?

OH lawd no. The Mist was wonderful... UNTIL.
I would've called it one of the best

The director was trying to bring home a point the entire film already made... and it was overkill and unnecessary. All it did was guarantee that I'd be pissed the hell off. D:<

I never said it played out that way, I am just saying that's what the movie, from what I saw, reminded me of, haha. I realise the movie is nothing like that. It was weird because in the beggining he is in a car chasing deer with his car and shooting them at the same time. Something around those lines.

Great movie, kinda apparent that

Also the flashback of

his wife and kid dieing in that helicopter shocked me badly, wasn't expecting it. Shorter then I would like though, would of liked to seen him struggle with the cure and fighting the infected

Pretty great movie, I reccomend it. I confused this with Omega Man though so I was expecting 'The Family' and for the movie to be different

[nox]

i agree, it was a bit short for such a complicated film.

[GamerAsh]

I felt robbed too at the end. My dad was like "Part 2 of the story is coming now". 5 mins later "WTF it's ended".

[Hazard]

I watched the film yesterday and the only bad thing about the film is that it finished too quickly, if it had another 20mins it would of been a close to perfect film

[Oaken]

I think it's major flaw was that it was based on a book. A lot more could have been done with it had it been an original story made for film.

[Hazard]

because it based on the book doesnt mean all elements of the book needs to be followed
