what a stupid ass movie!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|

yeah, to be honest I really didn't think it was very good. If it had been a bit longer and with narration to explain the finer details of the setting, I think it would have been a bit better. The CGI sucked, and the movie grew pretty ridiculous about half way through. Everyone seems to be raving about how great Will Smith was, and to be honest I don't see it. I think he does an alright job, but I wouldn't consider his performance Oscar-worthy as some people apparently do. |

I'm all about the Tim Burton film. I fucking love his films |

As a secular humanist, I strenuously object to the new Will Smith film I Am Legend. The movie concludes in such a way that forcefully suggests that there is a God. The character Smith portrays tells another character that he is "listening," which was obviously a way of recanting his previous statement in the film that there was no God; for he realized that he must give up his life for the sake of some greater good. I was turned off totally because I know that people will watch this film and think "Wow this film really makes a statement about God" when really the character is suffering from a schizophrenic delusion, just like all people who think there is a God. |

well said. That is partly what I was referring to by saying that the movie became ridiculous half-way through, I just didn't feel like getting into it. I'm glad someone is, though. |

The CGI set design of the post-apocolyptic New York were beautiful. The CGI of the deer, lions, dogs and Night-walkers were fuckin horrendeous, once again proving that the human eye/brain will make it nearly impossible to ever reporoduce natural movement through CGI. |

I thought the CGI in King Kong was very good. RE: the movie. I have the book and love it: I haven't seen the film but I know that a) the colour of the protagonist has changed, and b) it has moved from L.A. to New York. |
||||||||

Agreed once the movie headed into religious discussion I got completely turned off. The eventual revelation about the meaning of the repeated butterfly symbols made me cringe. However, I thought the first half was very engaging despite the rubbish animals. Overall, very disappointing. |

you say that like winning an oscar means something. |
||||||||

It wasn't very good at all. |

I don't watch movies with Will Smith on them. |
||||||||
|
|

i liked six degrees of separation, but yeah, thats about it |

Yeah, I'm not saying actors are second-rate unless they have an oscar, I'm just going by what I've been reading on the IMDB.com forums of what other people have been saying about his acting. and I agree with b266966jennyigotyournumber8675309, though. The special effects rendering NYC were spectacular. It's the rubbery, cartoonish faces and bodies of the infected that continually pulled me out of the movie. |
||||||||
|

but you have to agree, will smith IS a legend |

I read the book recently. I rate it 3 out of 5. A pleasant evening's vampiric diversion. Great premise; unfortunately, Matheson is more of a short story writer than a novelist and it feels like a short story with filler. I mean, not that it isn't consistently amusing - just that it should have had more character development and plot for the length it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Smith was freshhhh... now he stinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I didn't care for this either. the cgi suuuuucked and there were a handful of plot holes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well that's really just your opinion ain't it? So quit talking like it's fact, because it's not. |
||||||||
|

I think you can take it for granted that every opinion expressed on here is representative of the poster in question unless he or she directly quotes another poster or equivalent outside agency. |

It was made a whole lot better by his interpretation of Bob Marley. |

Heheh, the Bob Marley stuff was corny as shit. |

You people are missing the biggest flaw with the movie. The ending. It had a horrible christian overtone. I don't want an ending in which the christians prevail. That would mean that the rest of man-kind would become a fucked-up christian society. the Christian religion has already done it's damage to society. That ending just put me in a bad mood. I should have watched that Sweeney Todd movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It sucked and was cheesy and I wouldn't want a christian society to fill a real life void... but, it wasn't real life and that didn't seem like a "flaw" in the film. What seemed like the biggest flaw to me is that the dark seekers were developed in a schitzo manner. On the one hand they were smart enough to build a fairly elaborate trap, but they were totally brainless mute dumbshits. And absolutely no attempt was made to clarify that. And the CG looked straight out of 1998. And the kid played no role whatsoever other than being an annoying wierdo. And, how did the girl drive onto the island when the bridges were destroyed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, now that I think about it it does seem like a flaw, because how did she know about the colony in Vermont? It probably would've been better if George Burns had come down out of the clouds and said "see i told you it was here." when she drove up to the gates. So many things happened in this movie without any attempt to explain or justify them. And, its not like they were going for the whole 'mystery' thing.. it's like whoever wrote the screenplay wasn't smart enough to see the wholes. |

I am a big fan of "The Omega Man" is it nothing like that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think all apocalypse movies made now are over-shadowed by the film "28 Days Later". That is by far the best post-apocalyptic movie made in the past 10 years. Just because of it's realism, (and the fact that it was made with British actors). That's why I was pissed that they used american actors for 28 Weeks Later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The girl from that film is in some really rubbish band now, like goth for 12 year olds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No... well, yes it is similar to that, but the zombies don't interact with Nevell at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Omega Man is far superior IMO. |
||||||||
|

Me 2 IMO. |

This film was a blatent wannabe of 28 Days. There were also many elements from Children Of Men, I realised that when the woman and her son were driving down that road to the colony - how similar to CoM was that??? |

we've discussed the film's implications of God... didn't u read the beginning of the thread? |

I guess they ran out of money for their CGI department after creating an empty and greenish NYC, cos the CGI on all creatures stank. How do you call these things, not zombies,not vampires, well they looked like the CGI mummy from 1999 "The Mummy". Funny that the best creature CGI still hails from Jurrasic Park. Bring back the mix of robotics and CGI anyday plz And 28 Weeks later was superior to 28 Days Later. |
||||||||

The part where the CGI sucked the post, was when the 3 dogs attack him. They look EXACTLY the same! Also, the creatures look more or less the same, and their mutation is very boring looking. How about some hideously disfigured ones? And the zombie thingies should probably have been make-up, with cgi details in stead. Would have made it cooler. Other than that, i did feel somewhat entertained watching the movie, i must admit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed, look at the new breed vampires in Blade 2. Thats how I think they should have done this, real people with CG enhancements. none of the things in I Am Legend had any visual character. The only thing that made one different from another was the ratty clothes they were wearing. |
||||||||

saw this last night at a friends house (illegal DL action) i thought it was meh. like most people said: first half was good plot holes not good cgi needed more time to expand and explain i could see the book being much better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"first half was good plot holes not good cgi needed more time to expand and explain i could see the book being much better" Yeah that kind of sums it up for me too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They should use stop motion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, would've actually been an improvement over the CGI. That is not an exaggeration. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seriously! The zombies looked like the "I Robot"'s with a different skin rendering. Fucking lazy hollywood . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the zombies were awful, it looked like they'd used the same model for each one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i m legend, u r history |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well maybe there will be a decent remake in 2250 . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought that, too! Did you notice the scene where the "alpha male" is directing the waves of infected at Neville's house and one of the mutants runs past the Alpha male wearing almost identical clothing? It looked as though the animators made 2 models, a male and a female, and copied and pasted them around the screen, making only minor adjustments to the clothing. sloppy filmmaking. |
||||||||
|

The only thing I liked about the film was the fact that it was in New York. Especially the scene in the Met. The film must have been made by a religious nutjob. Notice how the outbreak happened in a progressive and artistic city such as New York, and the safe haven was found in some small middle-american religious town in Maryland. |
