Not me personally…
I went to see I Am Legend today. It wasn’t the worst film I’ve ever seen, but I did catch myself thinking it was a really long 1 hour 40 minutes! There were lots of great scenes of a completely deserted New York, but that was about the best of it. I think the most annoying thing about the film is it didn’t really go anywhere. It just sort-of meandered. I still think the trailer looks cool!

I just thought the film just ended, I mean like in 5 mins, he has foudn another person alive, got the cure and saved humanity?
Did you see that place where the survivors were staying? I am surprised they survived at all?
Posted 26 Dec 2007 at 11:20 pm ¶I really liked the film up until the end. It was wrapped up too tidy. Of course I had a million questions afterward like why didn’t the zombies know where he lived before? Didn’t they watch everything he did which is how they set the trap? Why didn’t the zombies hunt the deer? Why did the electricity still work? Etc…
Posted 01 Jan 2008 at 1:10 am ¶Hi.
I think I got the answer to some of those things.
1) He mentioned to the girl about whether the Zombies followed them home. I guess this implies he usually took care not to be followed home, presumably by going home in daylight. He also washed the steps down with water. I assumed this was to wash off his scent.
2) I guess they did hunt the deer. Maybe the deer ran out of the city centre at night.
3) They showed some Honda generators in his house at the start. I guess this was his only electricity.
The whole point of I Am Legend is explained here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend). I think the original story was a lot more insightful than the rubbish ending used in the film.

Posted 04 Jan 2008 at 9:20 pm ¶I was wondering if they blew up the bridges so no one could leave Manhattan, how did the girl and boy get there and then how did they leave? Manhattan is an island.
Posted 05 Jan 2008 at 3:35 am ¶Good question. All the other questions and comments seem to be either a matter of opinion or easily answered. But how did she get into Manhattan from maryland where she said she traveled from and then to Vermont? If they blew up all the bridges one would assume all the tunnels were blocked off somehow. Very good observation if you ask me. Does anyone have the answer?
Posted 05 Jan 2008 at 4:08 am ¶I think that she drove to the other port of the city, and took a boat to Manhattan. I dont think that tunnels were made because that wouldve just been another way that the Dark Seekers could escape. As everyone else, i dont have an actual answer, i just say that this is the best guess.
Posted 06 Jan 2008 at 4:30 am ¶She tells him that she traveled on a boat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Posted 07 Jan 2008 at 7:52 pm ¶I do like these sort of films (28 weeks etc) but the infected in ‘I am legend’ just pushed this film to far. The only redeeming feature is will smith
Posted 10 Jan 2008 at 5:19 pm ¶The question is: Who set the trap that caught Will Smith? The Dark Seekers couldn’t have set it – the only tool they seem to be able to use is thier heads (to break things, attack trucks and smash windows, etc). So “who set the trap that Will was snared in” is the big questions because the Dark Seekers don’t know how to use a hammer much less set a snare trap – much less bait it… much less… Aw heck, just go with it I suppose. Who set the damn trap?!?!?!
Of course Will hunts deer, he would crave meat. Remember, how he flipped on the girl? He was saving the bacon he said. The only stuff he took from the appartment he broke into was meat (spam and a can of salmon). Makes sense since all meat would have spoiled quickly (or been ravinously consumed early on by Dark Seekers who also ate the non-infected survirors).
This begs another question -since the Dark Seekers were cannibals, why didn’t they eat each other?
Nope, the only mistake is the trap. I can forgive the cannibalism thing – they’re flocking / hearding / packing… whatever.
Great movie. Can’t wait until the DVD is released. Until then, I’m going to order Omega Man from Netflix.
Great movie!
Posted 21 Jan 2008 at 6:15 am ¶ABOUT THE DARK SEEKERS AND THE TRAP. I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO SUGGEST THAT THEY WERE DEVELOPING SOME SORT OF INTELLIGENCE AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION AMONGST THEMSELVES , ONE IN PARTICULAR THE MAIN DARK SEEKER. HE SET THE TRAP AFTER WILL CAPTURED THE FEMALE ONE TO DO THE TESTS ON. I THINK HE WANTED HER BACK. I WITH THEY HAD DEVELOPED THAT ANGLE A BIT MORE.
ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE MOVIE IS THAT THE FLASH BACKS SHOULD HAVE GONE A LITTLE FURTHER, THEY JUST STOP WHEN THE HELICOPTER WHERE HIS FAMILY BLEW UP, THEY SHOULD HAVE SHOWED MORE ON WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER THAT – IT WAS THREE YEARS PRIOR!!!
AS SOON AS I SAW THERE WAS A DOG I KNOW IT WAS GOING TO DIE, I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ARE SO FULL OF SHIT, THEY COULDN’T MAKE THE BLACK GUY DIE BECAUSE HE IS THE MAIN AND ONE OF THE ONLY CHARACTERS SO THEY KILL THE DOG INSTEAD – THAT WAS MY THINKING UNTIL I SAW HE DIED IN THE END OF COURSE!!!
Posted 24 Jan 2008 at 8:34 am ¶Who cares the dog should of just died without the drama, and will smith is an idiot irobot was his best film and haha to the helicopter that pilot was crap!!!
Posted 30 Jan 2008 at 3:52 pm ¶Entertaining movie but I was disappointed. Not a plausible story. Read All of Yesterdays Tomorrows.
Posted 02 Feb 2008 at 3:05 am ¶what the hell the dog shouldent have died i allways cry when things like that happen to dog over all i think it was a good film but the dog dying just spoild it and i cried for a long time
Posted 18 Mar 2008 at 3:06 pm ¶p.s f**k off to anyone who says im a pussy coz i cried and to anyone who thinks the dog should have died
Posted 18 Mar 2008 at 3:09 pm ¶Hi.
I’d rather you didn’t speak like that on my blog.
Cheers

Posted 18 Mar 2008 at 6:47 pm ¶I believe the infected set the trap for Smith, however my bf thinks Smith set it and forgot cos he was going crazy? It’s good to watch a film that causes debate. Preferred the alternative ending though!
Posted 16 Jun 2008 at 12:01 am ¶I almost wasn’t going to comment to this blog until I saw how late the last post was. I thought the movie was okay. They should have been able to deveop the story and characters more completely, since it wasn’t to many characters in this movie to work with. The flashbacks should have been more in depth. I guess they stopped becuase they wanted to build the suspense of what the infected people looked like. Which would have been easy if they used more creativty. They could of used shadows and the shaky camera coming at you too cover that up. Movies do seem to mimic each other with that drawing stuff out to long. I would have been maybe a little more disappointed if I saw this in a movie, but I saw it on bootleg and it was watchable. I do hate when movie makers think every movie goer doesn’t pay attention to detail. Like where the two survivors came from, and who set the trap. They should have showed that leader infected do some other clever things. Also it would have been nice if Will Smith and the leader met earlier in some close call. This move would have been better if they had some more survivors and was able to form bond with each other. Plus that could have made the story have more possibilities. The 3 year gap didn’t help at all.
Posted 17 Jun 2008 at 7:43 am ¶If you read the Wikipedia post on I Am Legend you will see the original story and film had a lot more story. Not only were there the uninfected and the infected, but there was an additional section of the population that were infected, but retained normal mental function…

This would have added depth to the story.

Posted 10 Jul 2008 at 9:20 am ¶Anna drove over the George..bridge…somethingcause they didn’t destroy that one. You can see that in one of the deleted scenes.
The electricity didn’t work, Robert Neville had generators running on oil. Since the Zombies can’t be out in sunlight, they cannot see where Robert lives. He poors vinegar on all his cloths and everywhere he goes to hide his scent. Ofcourse Dark Seekers hunt the deers, but deers are not dumb. I guess that they hid themselves during nightfall. When Sam runs into the dark, they really does eat the deer. So why shouldn’t they hunt them?
I am legend was a great movie. I didn’t really like the end. But everything else was on point. Will Smith is a very talented man.
