I wish I had a time machine, because then I could go back in time and not have to see "I Am Legend".

First of all, I dig Will Smith. I really do. He's good people, one of my favorites, and he's been robbed of an Oscar TWICE.... Ali, and Pursuit of Happyness.

But dammit, I just couldn't like "I Am Legend." I tried really hard, but I couldn't. It's impossible to like. It has no substance, no character, no story, no point. The fundamental elements of a good story are entirely absent. What pisses me off is that people LOVE it, and it's made like $150 Million already. I don't get it.

I'll start from the beginning.

Opening scene. We learn that a female scientist has cured cancer. She literally CURED cancer. Next scene, we see Will Smith, 3 years later, in a beautiful Mustang that is mysteriously NEVER SEEN again in this movie.. Why?

Questions to ask within the first 2 minutes of the film:

1. Why did the Mustang disappear?

2. Why is Will Smith hunting deer? What is the point of hunting deer, when he's got the entire city to himself, and he's got about 1,000 grocery stores to find food? Yes, electricity is gone, so meat has spoiled in the stores... but still, why EXACTLY must he hunt deer?

3. Why are there lions and tigers roaming the city and killing deer after only 3 years? How can there be deer, lions, and tigers in the city, when most of NYC is surrounded by water? Are the lions and tigers from the zoo? If so, how would they escape? This is pointless and unexplainable.

4. Why haven't these animals been killed off by the infected zombies, when almost every human being has been killed?

5. Why exactly is Will Smith the last man in the area? Why him? Why not the President, or any military? What did Will Smith do that was so much different than our national security? You're telling me he was smarter than everyone else in most of the country?

6. How could Will Smith has survived this long, when we learn later on that he is probably the worst shot in the world? He manages to shoot everything in his house BUT a zombie.

7. What the hell are the creatures? Zombies? Vampires? Jehovah Witnesses?

8. Why would Will Smith stay in New York City all by himself instead of seeking rescue, finding survivors, moving his lab somewhere else, or finding a survivor's colony? Why would he be all alone in a big empty city for 3 years without wondering what's outside the city?

--- If you lived in Cleveland, and everyone in Cleveland suddenly died, and you were the LAST person in Cleveland, surrounded by Vampires at night, would YOU stay in Cleveland for 3 years??? HELL NO. You'd get your pretty ass out of there.

Those are just a few questions. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Let's sum up the whole premise like this:

So the cure for cancer mysteriously mutated, turned into a virus that transformed people into vampires, it spread all over the world, and Will Smith ends up being the last man on earth... or so we think. These vampires only come out at night, because the Sun burns them, much like vampires. Will Smith is mysteriously immune to the virus, but we never find out why.

Why?
Why?
Why?

This movie tries to be extremely intelligent, but there's not a single ounce of intelligence in this entire thing. This is 2 hours of NOTHING.

The special effects are terrible. An XBOX-360 is a thousand times more advanced than this.

The acting is terrible. Will Smith tries to cry in front of mannequins because they're the only "people" he sees anymore... yet he refuses to leave the city and find REAL people.

Bob Marley is overused. The writers, for SOME goddamn reason, tried to connect the genius of Marley's music to infected vampires wiping out the world... and the connection makes no sense.

This movie is boring. There. I said it. It's boring. There's nothing interesting going on here.

The writers, once again, try to be brilliant by doing two things here:

1. The dog, "Sam", is a POOR imitation of "Wilson", the volleyball in "Cast Away".

2. This entire movie is a POOR imitation of "28 Days Later". If you want to see how apocalyptic horror is SUPPOSED to be done, rent "28 Days Later". You'll thank me.

The ending proves that the entire movie is pointless. We learn that Will Smith's character actually didn't matter, because there's a colony in Vermont. The cure he discovers also doesn't matter, since there are people already alive and well somewhere else. So, what was the point of seeing this for 2 hours? There was NO point. Nothing in this movie mattered.

Last, but certainly not least.... The title of the movie. I Am Legend. What did Will Smith do in this movie that was legendary? What the hell happened in this movie that made him a legend? He did nothing. Nothing was legendary. The character is proven pointless by the end.

I Am Pointless.

This movie sucked. I'm sorry... you may not agree... but this movie sucked.

Cast Away + 28 Days Later = Failure.

And don't even get me started on the poster... with a phrase that is a total lie, in big fancy letters.


We find out there's a woman and her son, a colony of people, etc. It's all pointless. You can't just ****ing LIE for no reason. This movie had so much potential, and yet it failed at every point.

Now, I realize that this was based on a book by Richard Matheson that came out many years ago, so I shouldn't point the finger at Hollywood for making such a ****ty movie. But HONESTLY, the book is actually WORTH reading. It's actually good, unlike this movie. The movie seems to take a **** all over the novel. Really, this movie is pretty much a "How To" on writing very bad stuff. It's a perfect blueprint for making pointless ****.


Read the book.
Don't see the movie.
Save your soul.
Save your money.

And then for some goddamn reason, Will Smith recites lines form "Shrek" for LITERALLY two minutes... two minutes of just wasting time, when they could be focusing on something IMPORTANT.

Screw this movie, man. Screw it.

 

[the a1ant]

^1. He had many cars at his disposal, since there were no humans left.

2. He was running out of bacon. He wanted fresh meat, and the deer run in packs.

5. For some reason he was immune - they should've explained this better though. To me, it sounded like he had a natural immunity...somehow.

7. They were humans who were infected by a virus, which mutated from that lady's cancer 'cure'. It caused their behavior to act like dogs on rabbies. The virus affected their hair (making them bald) and their skin (melanin), making uv lights harmful to them. Biting a person spreads the virus, and the virus became airborne.

8. "This is ground zero." He wasn't going to leave or give up on NY. He mentioned he was staying at ground zero, regardless, until he found a cure.

Actually that wasn't the only point of contention. He didn't move the mannequin itself, the dark seekers did. What's the difference if the head moved in his mind or not? There was still something wrong that he did not imagine.

I agree; I was just clearing up the point the many were saying the shot of perspective was wrong. The fact that the mannequin had moved locations was odd, and they should've put more insight into how the dark seekers could be that clever. There were hints of it throughout the film, but those hints were strong enough, imo.

I think some people (not myself) in the audience just assumed that Smith's character moved it and had set up that trap, forgetting about it 'till that day.

 

[aaron]

audiences need everything spelled out for them

 

[snap-hiss]

Questions to ask within the first 2 minutes of the film:

1. Why did the Mustang disappear?

Who cares? He's obviously using more than one vehicle. Maybe he only uses it to hunt. Maybe he only uses it on Tuesdays. Maybe who cares.

2. Why is Will Smith hunting deer? What is the point of hunting deer, when he's got the entire city to himself, and he's got about 1,000 grocery stores to find food? Yes, electricity is gone, so meat has spoiled in the stores... but still, why EXACTLY must he hunt deer?

Are you kidding? You answered our own question.

3. Why are there lions and tigers roaming the city and killing deer after only 3 years? How can there be deer, lions, and tigers in the city, when most of NYC is surrounded by water? Are the lions and tigers from the zoo? If so, how would they escape? This is pointless and unexplainable.

Could be from a zoo, could have found a way across during a drought.

4. Why haven't these animals been killed off by the infected zombies, when almost every human being has been killed?

Humans are a lot easier to kill than deer and lions. Every try to catch a deer with your bare hands? Even if you were twice as fast and twice as strong you couldn't do it.

5. Why exactly is Will Smith the last man in the area? Why him? Why not the President, or any military? What did Will Smith do that was so much different than our national security? You're telling me he was smarter than everyone else in most of the country?

He was immune to the airborne virus. This was covered very specifically and clearly multiple times.

6. How could Will Smith has survived this long, when we learn later on that he is probably the worst shot in the world? He manages to shoot everything in his house BUT a zombie.

I'm starting to get the impression you didn't see the film or read the book. In both cases Neville didn't survive by being the strongest warrior or the best shot, he survived by being smart and avoiding confrontations in which fighting would be necessary.

7. What the hell are the creatures? Zombies? Vampires? Jehovah Witnesses?

8. Why would Will Smith stay in New York City all by himself instead of seeking rescue, finding survivors, moving his lab somewhere else, or finding a survivor's colony? Why would he be all alone in a big empty city for 3 years without wondering what's outside the city?

Again I'm wondering if you saw the film (or read the book). His motivations for staying couldn't have been made any more clear without Smith looking into the camera and explaining it to you personally.

--- If you lived in Cleveland, and everyone in Cleveland suddenly died, and you were the LAST person in Cleveland, surrounded by Vampires at night, would YOU stay in Cleveland for 3 years??? HELL NO. You'd get your pretty ass out of there.

I wouldn't stay in Cleveland as it stands now.

So the cure for cancer mysteriously mutated, turned into a virus that transformed people into vampires, it spread all over the world, and Will Smith ends up being the last man on earth... or so we think. These vampires only come out at night, because the Sun burns them, much like vampires. Will Smith is mysteriously immune to the virus, but we never find out why.

Why?
Why?
Why?

Now I'm beginning to wonder if you're at all familiar with the concept of a science fiction story. Are you honestly questioning the very nature fiction writing itself?

This movie tries to be extremely intelligent, but there's not a single ounce of intelligence in this entire thing. This is 2 hours of NOTHING.

While I wouldn't label the film "extreemly intelligent" it is smarter than most films, and it is hardly "two hours of nothing". Exactly what did you want to happen? More explosions?

The special effects are terrible. An XBOX-360 is a thousand times more advanced than this.

This I will not argue with. The CG was bad.

The acting is terrible. Will Smith tries to cry in front of mannequins because they're the only "people" he sees anymore... yet he refuses to leave the city and find REAL people.

This might be the very first criticism of Smith's acting in the film that I've seen yet.

The writers, once again, try to be brilliant by doing two things here:

1. The dog, "Sam", is a POOR imitation of "Wilson", the volleyball in "Cast Away".

Actually it's a well done imitation of the same dog from the book.

2. This entire movie is a POOR imitation of "28 Days Later". If you want to see how apocalyptic horror is SUPPOSED to be done, rent "28 Days Later". You'll thank me.

You've finally pinpointed the problem.. you wanted I Am Legend to be something it's not.

The ending proves that the entire movie is pointless. We learn that Will Smith's character actually didn't matter, because there's a colony in Vermont. The cure he discovers also doesn't matter, since there are people already alive and well somewhere else. So, what was the point of seeing this for 2 hours? There was NO point. Nothing in this movie mattered.

Again, you missed the entire point of the film, but I'm not going to argue about the ending, which I also didn't care too much for.

Last, but certainly not least.... The title of the movie. I Am Legend. What did Will Smith do in this movie that was legendary? What the hell happened in this movie that made him a legend? He did nothing. Nothing was legendary. The character is proven pointless by the end.

Again, I didn't like the ending much, but to call the character pointless again makes me wonder if you actually saw the film. The POINT and the literal reason for the film's interpretation of the title I Am Legend is verbally spelled out for the viewer in plain English.

I Am Pointless.

Not going to argue with you there.

Screw this movie, man. Screw it.

Your whole post makes me laugh. It's like you've never seen a sci-fi movie before.

The questions you have for the first 10 minutes of the movie are like you didn't even try to understand they were setting the film up.


Another question for those who have read the book, it the man night creature suppose to be Ben Cromer?

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, Castlewood. I am sure that you joking, because if you were honestly being serious, I don't even know what to say. Seriously, how in the hell did you need that much spelled out for you?

 

[snap-hiss]

Another question for those who have read the book, it the man night creature suppose to be Ben Cromer?

I don't think so.

 

[The FallenAngel]

He's very clearly an idiot.

 

[Dodger]

Another question for those who have read the book, it the man night creature suppose to be Ben Cromer?

Ben Cortman.

And yes, thats what I feel the main vamp baddie was.

 

[tzarinna]

Lmao at people having meltdowns over this movie. t:

 

[omid17]

i thought the cure was important, i mean think about, in the book, the vampires soon found a way to survive during the day time

 

[snap-hiss]

Ben Cortman.

And yes, thats what I feel the main vamp baddie was.

In what way though? He didn't speak and Neville didn't know who he was.

!snap

 

[tzarinna]

i thought the cure was important, i mean think about, in the book, the vampires soon found a way to survive during the day time

Also, the disease mutated, which aided in their ability to do so.

 

[terry78]

The two times I went to see this, Smith doing his shirtless pull-ups garnered whistles and catcalls from the females, and groans from the males.

 

[tzarinna]

In what way though? He didn't speak and Neville didn't know who he was.

!snap

I think the head vamp/zombie looked a lot like Ben did in the GN. I don't think that was an accident, I think it was a shout out to those that read the GN. My two cents.

 

[tzarinna]

The two times I went to see this, Smith doing his shirtless pull-ups garnered whistles and catcalls from the females, and groans from the males.

That scene made me happy....in my pants.

 

[chaseter]

That scene made me happy....in my pants.

But that's what you told me

 

[aaron]

i was uncomfortably in that scene, nice body though

 

[Majik1387]

Is the graphic novel anything like the book? I skimmed through it and it's not like the movie.

 

[danoyse]

I know these have been answered a few times, but maybe if you read the answers a few times you'll actually get the movie. Here we go:

Opening scene. We learn that a female scientist has cured cancer. She literally CURED cancer. Next scene, we see Will Smith, 3 years later, in a beautiful Mustang that is mysteriously NEVER SEEN again in this movie.. Why?

Questions to ask within the first 2 minutes of the film:

1. Why did the Mustang disappear?

Please tell me you didn't obsess over the Mustang for the entire movie. In an entire city full of empty cars, I'm sure he used more than one.

2. Why is Will Smith hunting deer? What is the point of hunting deer, when he's got the entire city to himself, and he's got about 1,000 grocery stores to find food? Yes, electricity is gone, so meat has spoiled in the stores... but still, why EXACTLY must he hunt deer?

Because he's got an entire city to himself, the electricity is gone, and the meat has spoiled in the supermarkets. You answered your own question right there. Why deer? I dunno, maybe lion doesn't taste as good.

3. Why are there lions and tigers roaming the city and killing deer after only 3 years? How can there be deer, lions, and tigers in the city, when most of NYC is surrounded by water? Are the lions and tigers from the zoo? If so, how would they escape? This is pointless and unexplainable.

There's a zoo in Central Park, which is in Manhattan.

4. Why haven't these animals been killed off by the infected zombies, when almost every human being has been killed?

Because the zombies haven't gotten to them yet.

5. Why exactly is Will Smith the last man in the area? Why him? Why not the President, or any military? What did Will Smith do that was so much different than our national security? You're telling me he was smarter than everyone else in most of the country?

As he said countless times during the movie, he volunteered to stay in "ground zero" (meaning NYC) until he finds a cure. This is why he stayed. Eventually nearly everyone died and there was no place for him to go and no one to find him.

6. How could Will Smith has survived this long, when we learn later on that he is probably the worst shot in the world? He manages to shoot everything in his house BUT a zombie.

He's a scientist, not a sharpshooter. It's probably more realistic than him being able to shoot everything point blank. Most of us probably couldn't shoot much better than he could if we were in the same situation.

7. What the hell are the creatures? Zombies? Vampires? Jehovah Witnesses?

Sick people.

8. Why would Will Smith stay in New York City all by himself instead of seeking rescue, finding survivors, moving his lab somewhere else, or finding a survivor's colony? Why would he be all alone in a big empty city for 3 years without wondering what's outside the city?

See answer #5. Then pay attention to the movie next time.

--- If you lived in Cleveland, and everyone in Cleveland suddenly died, and you were the LAST person in Cleveland, surrounded by Vampires at night, would YOU stay in Cleveland for 3 years??? HELL NO. You'd get your pretty ass out of there.

How do I know there aren't vampires in any other place? If everywhere is just as dangerous, what's the point of leaving?

Those are just a few questions. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

I'm not entirely convinced you actually saw this movie.

So the cure for cancer mysteriously mutated, turned into a virus that transformed people into vampires, it spread all over the world, and Will Smith ends up being the last man on earth... or so we think. These vampires only come out at night, because the Sun burns them, much like vampires. Will Smith is mysteriously immune to the virus, but we never find out why.

Some people are immune. I had chicken pox when I was a kid, but my sister never caught it. Still never has. Go figure.

Why?
Why?
Why?

Why didn't you just go see Alvin and the Chipmunks? Or did they not explain in a satisfactory manner why the chipmunks could talk?

This movie tries to be extremely intelligent, but there's not a single ounce of intelligence in this entire thing. This is 2 hours of NOTHING.

Actually, it was about an 1 hour and 40 minutes. Unless you spent another 20 minutes still wondering where the Mustang went.

The special effects are terrible. An XBOX-360 is a thousand times more advanced than this.

The zombies...eh, I can see your point. But empty NYC looked phenomenal.

The acting is terrible. Will Smith tries to cry in front of mannequins because they're the only "people" he sees anymore... yet he refuses to leave the city and find REAL people.

I strongly suggest you avoid Tom Hanks and his friend Wilson the Volleyball in Cast Away.

Bob Marley is overused. The writers, for SOME goddamn reason, tried to connect the genius of Marley's music to infected vampires wiping out the world... and the connection makes no sense.

Well...yeah, it did. Since you didn't pay attention to the movie I can assume you didn't listen to any of the lyrics either.

This movie is boring. There. I said it. It's boring. There's nothing interesting going on here.

Well, it couldn't have been that boring if if gave you time to come up with so many inane questions. I'm having fun just answering them.

The writers, once again, try to be brilliant by doing two things here:

1. The dog, "Sam", is a POOR imitation of "Wilson", the volleyball in "Cast Away".

No...because Sam was actually alive. The mannequins would be a better comparison since they're inanimate, but I see you already missed the point of those in one of your earlier questions.

2. This entire movie is a POOR imitation of "28 Days Later". If you want to see how apocalyptic horror is SUPPOSED to be done, rent "28 Days Later". You'll thank me.

Seeing as how the original novel of I Am Legend pre-dates 28 Days Later by several decades, I would say 28 Days Later is an imitation of that, as well as about a dozen other zombie movies.

The ending proves that the entire movie is pointless. We learn that Will Smith's character actually didn't matter, because there's a colony in Vermont. The cure he discovers also doesn't matter, since there are people already alive and well somewhere else. So, what was the point of seeing this for 2 hours? There was NO point. Nothing in this movie mattered.

Um, no...wrong again there. The cure was for the SICK PEOPLE! Meaning the dark seekers/zombies/vampires/whatever they were. Will Smith, the woman, the kid, the people in the colony don't need the cure because they are not sick.

The woman in the basement lab had actually begun to recover from his last test. That's why he gave the vial to the woman before he used the grenade. They can now use it and try to help the people who are alive and infected, and maybe they won't have to live hiding from cannibalistic zombies every time the sun goes down. Sounds like a plan to me.

Honestly, why would he be spending all that time trying to develop a cure for a disease that he doesn't have? He even told his daughter he was trying to make the sick people better in one scene.

Last, but certainly not least.... The title of the movie. I Am Legend. What did Will Smith do in this movie that was legendary? What the hell happened in this movie that made him a legend? He did nothing. Nothing was legendary. The character is proven pointless by the end.

He cured the virus that was wiping out civilization. That made him a legend. He thought he was alone, but the colony was able to continue his work and (hopefully make what was left of the world better), so that made him a legend.

I know in the novel it had a different meaning, but it's not to hard to figure out what it meant in this version.

I Am Pointless.

This movie sucked. I'm sorry... you may not agree... but this movie sucked.

Actually, I thought it was great. I apologize for nothing.

And don't even get me started on the poster... with a phrase that is a total lie, in big fancy letters.


We find out there's a woman and her son, a colony of people, etc. It's all pointless. You can't just ****ing LIE for no reason. This movie had so much potential, and yet it failed at every point.

That's not a lie. The poster says "THE LAST MAN ON EARTH IS NOT ALONE." This was completely true.

And then for some goddamn reason, Will Smith recites lines form "Shrek" for LITERALLY two minutes... two minutes of just wasting time, when they could be focusing on something IMPORTANT.

Again, with the not paying attention. He was reconnecting with people. That entire scene was about that. You were just listening to Shrek, weren't you?

Wow, that was the funniest post I've read in awhile.

 

[xwolverine2]

The two times I went to see this, Smith doing his shirtless pull-ups garnered whistles and catcalls from the females, and groans from the males.

[Charlie No-One]

I Am Legend, the book, inspired the modern zombie movies of today. I realize the book came before movies like 28 Days Later and I also realize that this movie isn't very similar to the book from what I heard (I've never read the book.) The movie though does seem to try and imitate scenes and moods set up in 28 Days at some parts though.

I thought the same thing, but my friends disagreed when I told them. I just found certain parts like 28 Days Later

 

[Charlie No-One]

Yeah. Like the beginning shots of the abandoned New York was almost directly out of 28 Days Later just set in a new location. Also the attack on the house at the end when you just saw them running was pretty 28 Days like too.
