i do not approve lol t:

I'm not crazy about his look but I thought Ledger was freaking AWESOME in the trailer and I'm hoping he'll pull off the makeup. Either way, he was great so the makeup will be secondary for me.

I didn't like it. I enjoyed it somehow, but the ending didn't satisfy me at all, mostly because I knew the ending of the book and it was a HORRID step down.

Spoiler

If at the end, instead, the lead zombie had surprisingly confronted him verbally, not leaving the 'no human behavior' storyline dropped and ignored, then having Robert finish the thing off, clinching the fear that it had talked about, about Robert being legend amongst them, leading to the zombies shrinking back in fear of him.

Instead we got this weak "legend" of Robert Neville that nullifies the title of the movie. No one can say "I am Legend" if they're only a legend after they're dead, can they?

Maybe Del Toro should have directed.

I am glad the Batman vs Superman script was shot down seeing as the same person that wrote it wrote Batman Forever and Batman and Robin...

 

[the a1ant]

I know....yikes!

The third act almost ruined it for me. Once the woman and kid showed up the film went downhill. Plus, I just read the book, and boy, that would have been amazing.

The only reason I liked it somewhat was purely because of Will Smith. To me, even in crap like WWW, he's great.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Does anyone actually have a link of Will Smith saying that the original ending was more like the book?

Anyone? Anyone?

And where's this business about Will saying that he wanted Del Toro to direct it?

just google it, it should come up

Will Smith originally wanted Pan’s Labryrinth Director Guillermo Del Toro for I Am Legend, but opted for Constantine’s Francis Lawrence, after Del Toro turned him down. Will Smith talks about I Am Legend, with visuals from the film in this short movie interview clip.

 

[R0rschach]

Just came back from seeing it and I have this burning question.

Spoiler

Who moved FRED from from the store to the location where Legend got boobytrapped? Who laid/set the trap? Was Legend insain and did he do it himself?

I thought it was pretty clear that the main creature did it to trap NEVILLE

Sorry I had some drinks before the movie..

Spoiler

who is Neville, was he the main zombie and the trap was set by Legend himself you say? Ohh and why did he shoot FRED???

Ummm, Neville was the main character of the movie. There is no character named Legend.

Will Smith was Robert Neville the main character of the movie.

Spoiler

The trap was set by the main ¨dark seeker¨.

 

[knowsbleed]

If a more faithful ending was shot, then maybe there'll be a director's cut? I hope so.

I hope so as well. If there is truly a more faithful alternate ending then that is a must for the dvd. Smith's performance and charisma really carried this movie for me. I cannot think of another actor who would be able to captivate the audience the way he did. Maybe one of the older/veteran Hollywood actors..but none of the people Smith's age come to mind.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

P.S.: Will Smith was quite pissed that Warners nixed the original ending so he actually revealed the ending of the movie in an interview. At the end Akiva Goldsman asked the reporters to not write about what Smith had revealed.

Will Smith is one of the most powerful actors in Hollywood...And I think that's total disrespect to him. If I were him I'd never work with Akiva Goldsman or WB again.

The dude should do what Tom Cruise did and start his own company. Make money for himself and not the greedy white man...lol

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Was it because of this script that they had to nix that I Am Legend plot for Blade 3....cause that would have kicked so much ass as a final Blade movie...instead of what we got

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Does anyone have the interview in which Will revealed the original ending that was supposed to be used? I'm guessing it would be more faithful to the novel and that they were going to use why he became legend?

 

[DOG LIPS]

They should have had

Spoiler

The main vamp look at the wall of pictures of dead vamps at the end and call Robert a "murderer" or something.

That would've been nice as well. If that were used it would've made the film perfect for me. Because it is a good film that has some nice usage of atmosphere and the concept is absolutely brilliant. It's just the ending really soured it for me and didn't really stay true to the source material.

Spoiler

the way they killed him off was no way legendary. Leaving a cure for the survivors. More like "I Am Legacy" .. they should have just stuck with the original story. Vamps/brother-in-law, THE last person alive, boogeyman, soundproofing house, average joe, and the kidnapping.

lol just realized the chick that was cured, turned out to get fried along with Robert
