Looks like it could be quite interesting, Will Smith has become a pretty solid actor.

 
it released on 14 around the world...so have any of you guys seen it, looks good from the trailer ive seen.
 
Going tonight probably, if I can get a good showtime

To be fair, trailers are like youtube football player compilations. You can make anyone, or in this case, any film look good. ;)

Not all movies have good trailers, alot of shitty movies dont. Here is the LA Times worst trailer of the year

:lol:
 
from what i got from the trailer he's the only one living in new york

it could be boring as feck or interesting...i'll go and watch it sometime this week

well no hes not

actually it depends on your perception
there are other things LIVING in new york as well

aaaahhh go watch it yourself

I didnt like it tbh
too many glaring mistakes for my liking
 
Would have been better if it was set in Wrexham
 
i thought it was alright, decent remake of the original. the scenery was stunning

it has nothing new to offer
same old shit like resident evil

and if will smith is this genius scientist how the feck didnt he realize that the zombies or whatever they were did show human or social traits
since they clearly had a leader and they even set a trap for him

how pathetic was that
 
Richard Matheson's I Am Legend was made into a movie previously?

its based on the Omega Man

You're both right, Matheson's '54 vampire/sci-fi novel is revered as the best vampire book since Bram Stoker but the first film adaptation in Charlton Heston's The Omega Man took huge liberties with the story not least by removing all the vampires.

From the sounds of it the Will Smith version is closer to the book but has been a bit vague on whether the human remnanats are vampires, zombies or some other form of plague victims.
 
Its done great at the box-office though. 75 Mil on opening weekend in december ain't too shabby.

Will probably go check it out during the week. Love a good post-apocalyptic story. :-)
 
Before you retards judge it, did you even read the book? Anyone read the book before the film?? what did you think if so?

The book > old film > new film, in that order, is how it happened.
 
I have been trying to get my hands on Mattheson's book for a while now. I desperately wanted to read the book before watching the movie, but i doubt thats going to be possible now. Anyway, the first attemt at making a movie out of Mattheson's tale was a Vincent Price starrer - The last man on Earth, which i've heard good things about. The less said about Charlton Heston in "The Omega Man", the better. I've heard that the latest Will Smith avatar has great visuals even though the plot is a little convoluted/flawed. Still looking forward to it.

I'd lend it you but since i got a copy and re-read it, every cnut on the planet has tried borrowing it, feck knows where it is currently :mad:

Did you bother with the book, or even know what it was about or the history of such a story?

Or were you just expecting another zombie flick?
 
the funny thing is
he was so ready to shag that mannequin at the store

but when a real bird (albeit a not so pretty one ) came along he didnt do jack

That's because he was all crazy because of what happened to his four legged friend

Try not to spoil it for others, but it was a pretty good movie. Better then the recent zombie movies or what have you. I don't know if you would consider them zombie's because they aren't dead or haven't died. Maybe plague victims, but it is worth the money to go see. Batman DarkKnight looks excellent though.
