Saw I Am Legend yesterday...3/5 from me, great first 45 mins but then we see the zombie type bad guys...oh dear poor cgi, plus comedy cgi lions that had us in hysterics! A massive budget for this film but very poor cgi, why not use actors for the zombies? much scarier...
Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: ifm on December 27, 2007, 03:06:44 PM Perfect copy available online, just watched it and i enjoyed it.
Good film, worth watching. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: Nem on December 27, 2007, 04:49:28 PM The film is Castaway meets Resident Evil.
Unfortunately, the film lacks dept. The ending is very 'war of the worlds' and has little build up. The film had potential, but in reality the director ran out of ideas. I would give this film 6/10. No Country for Old Men, now thats a film... Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: snoopy1239 on December 27, 2007, 04:52:44 PM Arlington Road...great ending!

Then again i did like 28 days and children of men Title: Re: i am legend .....

Oh you meant it sarcastically? as the endings are opposites yes? I meant that in my view there was no build up to the ending in both films. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: byronkincaid on December 29, 2007, 04:19:58 PM watched online thanks ifm, read the 2p2 thread. I missed all the religious imagery. duh I'm so thick. I thought it was a good film up to the point he gets trapped and then miraculously rescued and then it was very poor.
apparently the ending in the book is completely different and they filmed different endings and at the last minute decided on the soppy one. e.g Anna is meant to be in league with the zombies and lead them to his house but all of that was cut out. Would never have known why it is called "I am Legend" from just watching the film. Title: Re: i am legend .....

Hmm, I think I would have liked that, although he'd still have to save the day somehow to justify the 'legend' title. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: byronkincaid on December 29, 2007, 04:37:41 PM they're saying he's a legend like Dracula is to us. if the whole world turns into zombies and there's one non zombie going around killing and doing experiments on everyone, who's the bad guy?

"I Am Mengele"?? Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: TheChipPrince on December 31, 2007, 01:59:54 AM Saw it last night, thought it was pretty decent...
Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: raab11 on December 31, 2007, 02:39:18 AM downloaded this for my 12 year old son. just watched it to make sure it was cool for him to watch. i thought it was ok. but i kept waiting for something to happen. it never did. and the end was dreadful Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: charmaine on December 31, 2007, 08:14:59 AM I thought it was pretty good , ending could of been better though .
Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: kinboshi on December 31, 2007, 11:11:10 AM Thought the film had potential (I loved 28 days later), but it sort of petered out after Sam died. Hollywood watering down what could have been a brilliant film.
A decent bit of entertainment though - far, far better than War of the Worlds and all that scientology nonsense. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: Colchester Kev on December 31, 2007, 11:52:18 AM a million times better than war of the worlds, some great suspense moments in the film, but couldnt help thinking that they lost the middle part of the film, so much scope for a better ending as others have said.
ps. just how many other ways can Will Smith save the world .. Independence day MIB etc im sure the fresh prince of bel air saved the world a few times too. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: 77dave on December 31, 2007, 03:35:34 PM Enemy of the State is my fav Will Smith film
Gene Hackman rocks Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: TightEnd on December 31, 2007, 04:09:27 PM Hitch was a good date movie too.
He didn't save the world in it though Also enjoyed the recent one, name escapes me..him and his son up against it sleeping in tunnels etc lol Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: Ginger on December 31, 2007, 04:13:33 PM Pursuit of Happyness, also a class film and one I can watch again and again.

Post by: Indestructable on January 02, 2008, 09:57:54 PM I am going to see the film tomorrow. Trouble is doesn't look like much else is on if you want to go to the movies at the moment.
Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: jizzemm on January 02, 2008, 10:41:01 PM Well this film had so much potential.....

Post by: scotty2hatty on January 05, 2008, 12:39:24 AM Thanks for that link totalise - had already found a good quality copy on surfthechannel.com. I of course had been to the cinema for the 'big screen experience' but my brother wanted to see it.
I thought it was quite good but had potential to be better. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: Horneris on January 05, 2008, 03:40:35 AM Watched it yesterday.
Would give it around 6.8/10. It was a bit scary, but good, poor ending, but the deformed humans were comedy. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: scotty2hatty on January 05, 2008, 03:48:17 AM Would give it around 6.8/10. Can you be more specific please? Title: Re: i am legend .....

Post by: TightEnd on January 05, 2008, 09:46:19 AM second half of the film...very poor editing job..they'd clearly chopped a far longer film
first half excellent stuff , very good cinematography but I felt they lost their nerve thereafter and didn't carry through to deliver the sort of film it could have been..this could have been studio interference Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: sledge13 on January 05, 2008, 10:06:02 AM ...and dont forget the worst effects since Van Helsing! (ugh!)
Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: kinboshi on January 05, 2008, 11:36:41 AM Better effects in Jason and the Argonauts.

Ray Harryhausen was a legend (whoops - just checked, and he's still alive). He is Legend. Title: Re: i am legend ..... Post by: AlexMartin on January 11, 2008, 02:55:03 AM Im simple and dumb, and thought was awesome, except the Lions, they looked pretty shit.
