Alright – I’ve just watched I Am Legend (finally) and have to say it wasn’t too bad. Yes, it’s so far removed from the source material (from one hour and two minutes in especially) that it’s laughable, but for a Hollywood action movie it’s surprisingly complex.

The first hour with Smith and the Dog are very close to the original text and Smith is actually quite believable as Robert Neville.

Disregard the final half hour (apart from the cool bit where the vampie tries to crack glass with his head) and it’s one of the best Hollywood films in ages.

having said that, it didn’t feature any tits. So it loses 3 points for that.

I’ve been reading a book on the constentration camps’. Austwitch, Sorbetbor, Burger-Bellend – they’re all in there.

i watched the movie and wondered- if will smith is so good in acting on his own ,why did they bother to add more actors? as long as it was only him , it was great , you could forget about the un reasonable plot , the weird dialouges and the zombies that resembled constentration camps’ survivors. the scenes in empty forsaken new york were amazing. its a pitty that the most bothering thought we were left with after the movie is over, is why emma thompson vanished from the credits.

What’s wrong with big explosions? Surely any book that’s got no explosions in it is rubbish? I’d put explosions in every film if I had my way. Explosions are ace.

I didn’t compare the two mediums. Or the two media. I can think of a couple of movies off the top of my head that were translated to film quite successfully – Clockwork Orange, American Psycho for starters…

A great, subtle book about an ageing man trapped with his thoughts is made into a CGI blockbuster with Will Smith, big explosions and (so I hear) a wholesome Christian ending. The whole story is distorted to appeal to the bleating little fuckwits like yourself who turn up at multiplexes these days – I wonder why I would feel miffed?

This film was amazing, if you claim that the CGI and the story and technical aspects of this film are “bollocks” then I wouldn’t venture to suggest what type of film WOULD please you. You also suggested it was all shot on a soundstage in front of a greenscreen – not true. It was shot on location, and the visual effects are first class. Most people go into a movie expecting to have to suspend their disbelief. You’ve left out a few major points as well. If you watched the movie, you’d know that about 1% of people were immune to the virus – not just will smith as it becomes apparent later on. Get your facts right before you start bashing a film.

To Swineshead: If you think that you can compare the story in a novel to the story in a movie, you’re a fool for trying to compare the two mediums. Novels are about interpretation. A film is about depicting a story for the viewer’s entertainment. You havn’t seen the film so why brand it with your ill-informed opinon?
