[Warhammer]

Wow. Green Lantern and Teen Titans posters.

 

[Nightmare]

Too bad 3 of the 4 pictures are red X's.

 

[Nathan]

Working fine for me.

They work now.. weird..

I hated that scene, where he started crying to the maniquin cause they wouldnt talk back to him.

Grr, stupid emotion, why isn't he out blowing **** up?

 

[Ancracks]

Gave it a 4/10. Saw it in Imax. Best thing was the Batman Prologue. Shame, since this movie had so much potential. Ending sucked.

"And speaking of I Am Legend, Collider also reports that director Francis Lawrence has confirmed the existence of an alternate ending for the film, one which is due for inclusion on the "second DVD release." No details were given, although Smith did refer to the new ending as "less commercial," so it's probably safe to assume it hews a little closer to the ending of Richard Matheson's book."

What does he exactly mean by "second DVD release"?, an extended cut ?!!

 

[Edenbeast]

"Speaking of upcoming releases, we've just gotten word that Warner will deliver the I Am Legend: Special Edition on 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray Disc on 3/18, with the HD-DVD version due to follow a few weeks later in early April (street date is TBA). Additional details on pricing and extras are expected to be announced shortly."

I don't believe it is

 

[TankerX]

I loved the film. Possibly Will Smith's best serious role yet.

 

[Golgo-13]

Just saw the movie; not too shabby. I thought the leader of 'the infected' would have a possible connection to Neville, or a more developed role, but whatever...

7/10.

 

[SamuraiSon6]

I think im gonna rent "Omega man"

who has seen it.....thoughts, how does it compare to I am Legend

 

[Balthus Dire]

I thought "I am Legend" was great up until Will Smith [blackout]gets rescued by the other human chick.[/blackout]

After that point, everything fell apart. The story became lame, Will Smith tried to do some lame comedy (the Bob Marley stuff was so stupid), and the freakish, semi-intelligent infected became generic horror movie monsters, climbing walls and roaring at each other.

Not to mention the even lamer ending. Lame lame lame!

First half of the movie - 9/10
Last Half - 5/10

That's what I imagine from "less commercial", but in the rumored alternate ending

Spoiler

Neville survives

It won't be anything like the book's ending because the entire movie itself bears no resemblance to the book.

In the book, Neville has been killing vamps for years, while they sleep, simply to rid the world of them. Sometimes 40 a day. He's not a scientist, but eventually he does look for a cure.

What he doesn't know is there are two types of vamps, the dead and the living. The living can control their urges and are setting up a civilization of their own. Neville finds out about the different vamps after they send a girl, to spy on him. She ends up liking and respecting him. She leaves a note urging him to leave because the living vamps will come for him. He doesn't leave. They capture him and bring him back to their people to execute him. She gives him a pill that will kill him without pain. He became a legend to the living vamps, a boogie man. Someone who hunts them in their sleep.

The alternate ending for the film will be nothing like the book, because the whole book was nothing like the film.

Test makeup by Joel Harlow for the unproduced 1998 (i think) Ridley Scott/Arnold Schwarzenegger version of I Am Legend.

If any of you guys have bought the latestCiefex issue in which LEGENDis fatued , they do talk about the alternate ending.
LIke everyon says , it ends with Neville surviving.
Neville gives the vampires their alpha female back and they leave Neville alone. Neville at that moment realises that the vampiresstill have some humanity in them left. In the isse they talk about how the lpha male and female share a "tender moment " before going away

 

[Rezzo]

Here´s the alternate ending if anyones interested.

[Erzengel]

Much better than the original but not as good as the book.

[YT]trTmH3jpxUg[/YT]

Exactly , that's the ending they mentioned in Cinefex. Much better but still isn't THÉ "I AM LEGEND ENDING "

 

[Erik]

It comes much closer to capturing the meaning of the book there though. Neville isn't the savior in the alternate ending. He realizes that these monsters have lives too and he's been nothing but the bane of their existence.
