    Just watched the movie and besides the cgi evolved people I thought it was pretty good. Obviously I haven't read the book and I was wondering what the difference was between the two?

    The book is a lot better in my opinion, I'd suggest reading it, it's only like 150 pages or so I think so its not like it's an extremely long book. It comes with a bunch of other short stories too, at least my version did.

    I saw it shortly after it came out. I thought it was decent. The ending I didn't like much. It was neat the zombies (i guess that's what you call them) were smart enough to move the "Fred" and set the trap that the he set. The little things like sitting on the wharf the same time every day and high noon, the relationship with the dog and few other things. But overall I wasn't too impressed. I'd give it a 6.5/10.

    I definately reccomend you see this, it was a good film, & had a few scares, it followed exactly how the Book was, according to what people are saying, My Grade=C 7/10

    I heard the book and the movie were polar opposites.

    Would be hard pressed to make much of a list of movies that surpassed the books they were based on.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    I am confuzzled, you ask me on how the book ended when I asked first what the difference between the book and the movie. Then you hate how he changed the ending but you are wondering how it ended. hmmm

    True, but I just didn't really like the changes they made, I didn't expect it to be as good as the book, since it isn't exactly easy to transfer a book to film in my opinion. However, even though the changes were somewhat dissapointing the film was still fun.

    I thought it was terrible. The very beginning -- the cause of it all -- was so awful that I was laughing. Then it just went sort of bad for about an hour. Then it came back to outrageous levels of awful with that ending.

    The level of suck acted in a reverse bell curve, if you will. Most movies suck most in act 2. I Am Legend, well, it only sucked least there in the middle.

    I love watching Will Smith perform. I love hearing Mike Patton perform(Monster/Vampire voice talent). And I'm old enough to remember when they were fronting two of the biggest bands in the 80s. But those decades of affection couldn't save this really badly put together movie.

    For what it's worth, I was able to overlook the CG monsters. What really hurt was the awful storytelling.

    I never saw this, I hear from everyone. I talked with my stoner friend about it and he went on about the film for TWO HOURS! Just talking to me about it and how everything is traceable to BOB MARLEY.

    He told me that the girls name is MARLEY, that theres a butterfly in the lyrics and the butterfly throughout the film represents GOD, and how in BOB's songs it represented GOD, and how the TEXT on the poster of I AM LEGEND is the same as "BOB MARLEYS LEGENEDS" cd

    Just on and on.

    :mhehe: while I don't necesarily agree I can't help but give you points for actually using a graph to prove your point.

    Found the DC version a bit less disappoint in general myself. But, I still prefer Omega man overall.
