Kevin's Watch

I will totally call Will Smith crackin at least one Michael Jackson joke at one of the albino's....

The previews look great, although Smith has become like Cruise....

Just like Cruise always has to stare into the horizon looking pensive, Smith has to spend a few minutes of screentime lifting weights.

DAMN I loved I Am Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic guy-movie!!!! The deserted, overrun NYC looked perfect. Will did his usual great job. Nasty, nasty fun!!!!

worth the trip to the theater?
if i can find another movie worth it, i could go to the afternoon show. (half price)

Definitely worth it.

They did a great job of deviating from the book enough to make an excellent adaptation, instead of failing at trying to make it a perfect copy. An awsome movie.

Good, but I thought it went downhill a bit towards the end.

disappointed. too many bogus plot clues (personally), and seemed somewhat disjointed. mom and me both: "that's it?"

Yes, I thought it was a good action flick, not great, and it is missing something...still can't put a finger on it. At the end you come out...ok, is that it? Nothing much to discuss over dinner except to comment about the good empty city FX and his dog buddy. Could have had more

Spoiler

of his flash backs, too, inorder to learn more what folks went through to lead up to the end. You see the chopter hit, and I think that was it...the last flashback...next thing you know he is alone.

One point I thought they might have covered more that would have been interesting, but the film was too shy or embarassed or to un-PC to go to indepth was

Spoiler

the role of God in the salvation of mankind. They just kind of mention it a couple times.

Maybe they were afraid of copying the idea of King's "The Stand".

I thought it was great, far better than the Heston version (which is saying something, 'cause I really like the Heston version). I agree that there was something missing, but I don't know what. I thought Smith did a marvelous job, especially conveying the edge of madness from being alone for three years.

I just saw it yesterday... I haven't read the book, so maybe that changes things, but I absolutely loved it.

Will Smith did a great job... the man can cry!

I thought it was fantastic and I think Will Smith rocks.

Of course, I love having those few seconds of screentime watching him work out. hehehehe

The Omega man scared the crap out of me when I was about 7 years old, first and last movie to ever really give me nightmares.

I liked I am Legend for the way that they shot the city scenes and the dog as a main character, I also thought that Will Smith did a good job and played it pretty dry, not too much clowning around. one of the things that I didn't like was the cgi zombies, they just seemed too much like cartoon monsters, too strong, not human enough and they all looked exactly the same ..using real people for zombies is so much more effective. part of what made the zombies in the Omega Man so disturbing was that they still had a bit of humanity left. also I thought that they could have said a lot more with a story about humanity being on the brink of extinction.

all in all though I would say that it's worth going to see on the big screen.

Saw it again. Loved it again. I gotta see The Omega Man again. It's been so many years that I barely remember it.
