It's a good movie I just hate the way they've interpreted the title in the movie. He died that's why he was a legend and finding out that he is immune to the viral infection doesn't really make you a legendlol

It's based on a book and it makes more sense there. In the book virus turned people into vampires. They were much more intelligent than the monsters in the movie. He was one of a kind in a world where everybody else was infected. He hunted them by day when they were helpless and they feared him greatly. They were telling stories of him to scare their children. He was some sort of boogie man to them. A legend.

You made much sense compared to the movie. I never knew those vampires tell stories to their children about Will Smith's character until you've mentioned it. I'll try reading the book because I would surely enjoy reading than watching it. If it's from a book and if the book is really how you said it was then I can say that the movie is not interpreted well.

The movie shows that infected have feelings but they're still pretty much like animals. Although in the alternate ending the lead "vampire" stops smashing the glass, Will gives him his woman back and infected let them all go.

The book "I am Legend" was written by Richard Matheson who wrote several sci books and screen plays for movie and TV. (He also wrote "The Shrinking Man" which was made into a '60's movie and more recently "Stir of Echoes".) The Will Smith movies is only one of several based on the book. The first was "Last Man on Earth", starring Vincent Price, then "The Omega Man" starring Charleton Heston. Another direct to video movie "I am Omega" was released the same year as the Will Smith movie. I haven't seen the Will Smith movie yet, but it seemed that with the others, each new version moved further away from the original novel. (The "Simpsons Treehouse of Horror VIII also had a segment called the "Homega Man". "Night of the Living Dead" by George Romero was also basically a rip off of the book and the Vincent Price movie.)

This was a great movie and i thought Will Smith was definitely best for the role. I like how it wasnt about zombies eating your brains and running away but about the struggles of one man. The only thing i didnt like was just how much better the book was from the movie. I had the luck of watching the movie before reading the book. I was lucky becuase after i was done reading the book i though the movie was terrible. If you havent read it you definitely should because in my opinion it is much more intense then the movie.

I thought it was pretty good. Will's acting was great and there were some very tense scenes. I really liked the first half of the movie when he was alone with his dog but then it all went downhill when he found other survivors (ok, they found him) and then it became kinda boring. But what I hated about this film were bad CGI monsters that were so obviously animated, it was distracting to watch. It would be so much better if they would be played by real actors with makeup. It worked great in very similar movie called 28 Days Later.

I do not think I grasped the movie that well. When I first saw the movie I felt it was a half baked sort of movie. It had great potential but something was missing in what could have been a great movie. I did not like the ending at all and it all seemed to finish abruptly thumbdown. Now while reading the responses and comments to this discussion I realize that the movie is an adaptation from a book and that the movie changed a lot of things from the book. I would like to read the book to get a better idea of what the movie was all aboutrasp.

I liked the movie and thought Will Smith did an excellent job in it. It was interesting seeing the remake and comparing it with the old movie of the same story called "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston. I think the original one was a little easier to follow but "I Am Legend" definitely makes use of the high tech movie making methods of today. Both were enjoyable films and an interesting premise.
