I AM LEGEND quesion?!


Question: If you saw it did you like it? I liked it up until the last half. I mean the movie is goin great....then poof this chick and her kid comes along and shes a messenger of God? I have no problems with God im a christian but come on that came completely out of left field out of place and just plain dumb in the story thats was going on. Also did the dark seekers look cheesy to you they kind of looked like the mummy from the movies with brendan frasier. Too much CGI i guess. Lastly i dont think they explained enough about them. I mean they say they had no intelligernce but that one did set up the trap amongst other things and he was kind of the alpha male. Any thoughts?

I saw it. I agree with you. I love the movie up until the dog dies. Then this woman and this kid comes along....and they survived? I mean this woman was not "outback/outdoor" type. She seemed small and weak to fight the infected. Plus she's dragging this kid, another liability to survive.
As for the infected who somehow managed to gather up more infected....that was too much...its too comic.

Things were pretty great in the beginning up until the dead dog and the lady and the kid.

I think that's a very common complaint is that the movie wasn't long enough to develop the storyline...I'm not sure why they decided to do that because I definitely wouldn't have minded another 20min, especially when the ending left a little something to be desired. Yeah the CGI wasn't the best either and I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be vampires or zombies, they sort of acted like a combination of them. So overall, the ending diminished the story for me. The original story from the book was supposed to be more meaningful. The only thing I really like about it is Will Smith's acting.

Hell even the apes left the trees to become us did they not The movie I am legend is actually a repeat of a movie that starred Charleton Heston

If you didn't know .. I AM LEGEND is based on a novel by Richard Matheson. The ending was changed in the movie to "accommodate" audiences. Read the book, you will find out that the ending is 100x better!!

*I also agree the ending could of been better, that God thing out of no where did not flow with the movie at all.

I enjoyed the movie. The messenger of god thing didn't bother me much. I was expecting someone to appear eventually, since he was sending out the daily broadcasts. The dark seekers did look a bit cheesy. Their mouths opened too wide, I think. It was only Will Smith's character that said they had no intelligence, but he was wrong. I think it resulted in him letting his guard down, which is why he got caught by their trap. The main thing I didn't like was the very end. What happened after it? Other than the voice over saying that they found the cure, etc, etc. I'd actually like to see some of the things happening at the end. But that's a problem I have with Hollywood movies in general, they end the movie immediately after the climax. There's no actual conclusion or closure. Most movies seem to make you guess what happened afterwards.

I assumed Anna was on a boat, but it made me wonder how she got off the island. That was never explained. Deer can swim, but it's probably not so likely that so many would swim over to the island, I don't think.

yeah i definetly noticed that it seemed almost rushed

but it was awesome

im reading the book(Short story) now

It was well worth it, it was just movie producers using religion in a movie. One thought, man can't cure something that's deadly and when it's uncontrolled.

ya i was also pretty thrown off by the girl, i kinda wanted it to be just him and his dog. that was sooooo sad when she died. but it was weird cuz i went through the whole movie thinking sam was a boy and then when she was dieng all of the sudden he called her samantha, that threw me off too. but anyway, i agree about the whole not explaining enough thing. i think there was alot of stuff that they did not explain, like i didnt catch if they ever actually tod us WHY he was immune to the virus both ways and why the dog was immune only 1 way. and the whole end was confusing to me, when he cured them i mean. and also i think that it was pretty dumb bc he could have easily saved himself by going down their with them and then throwing he bomb. but anyway i did like the movie aven tho it got confusing.

I totally agree. Really good and interesting movie for a time. Some parts seemed to drag on. The girl's character seems somewhat unrealistic, how could she survive on her own for years and then make such a stupid mistake with him? And my sentiments exactly about the dark seekers, they seemed way smarter then he made them out to be. I had to go back and ask one of my friends who had read the book to clear up some points for me. And it turns out that the movie really skewed the book anyway. Overall good movie, for a blockbuster, and a great scary movie.

I agree with you you didnt get enough time to relate with that hcik and her kid I would have actually prefered they did instead of the guy. the dark seekers did set up the trap but he wasnt sure they had no intelligence he just said they were ignoring their basic needs and he wasnt sure why.it could have been revenge from when will smith went into the building chasing his dog and he then set up a trap after he saved his dog so he could find another patient for his experiments.Then when he got the girl dark seeker the head dark seeker tried to follow them out but could not b/c of the light .sorry I know it sounds confusing

What's there to explain about the mutants?

Yes, I liked the movie. There was a reason Anna came at the second hald of the movie. What if she didn't come? How would the movie end? If she didn't come how would he send out the cure for the virus? Would the title even be "I am Legend" if she didn't come? So yes, Anna was neccessary to the movie's plot. The thing about how the mutants looked like is your opinion. There was enough CGI in the movie. I think you meant, the CGI was messed up. As for the mutants, yes they were explained in the movie. That's why Anna was needed. When she came, he explained the mutants to her. This is what he explained......

Dr. Alice Krippin (Emma Thompson) manipulated a measles virus so that it would only attack cancerous cells, in effect curing cancer. Unfortunately, the virus (called the Krippin Virus, or KV) soon mutated, becoming communicable through the air and causing undesirable effects. It killed the vast majority of the population (90%). In everyone else, except for the 1% of the population who were immune, it caused extreme aggression, loss of pigmentation, shallow and rapid respiration, hyper-metabolism, and hyper-sensitivity to light. It essentially caused humans and animals to become vampires, which in this movie are referred to as "Dark Seekers".

How do you know the Alpha Male set the trap? There was no scene showing it make that. Well, it does seem the most apparent explanation. So Will Smith might have mistaken their intelligence.

1. I am legend is actually a novel. If you buy it and read it, you may find the answer to many of your questions.
2. The mutants/vampires looked just fine to me.
3. The movie is only 90 minutes long, so they did not have that much time to make it that accurate.
4. About the girl... Well, there had to be a twist somehow!!!!
5. When you see I Am Legend, and right immediately you watch 30 days of night just like I did, you realize what a good movie the first one is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw it and agree with you. The creatures also reminded me of "The Mummy". Their mouths opened a little too far and where did that sound come from. Obviously the virus mutated their jaws and voice-boxes. I didn't have a problem with the Christian references, I just think he should of been a little happier to see humans than he was. I mean five minutes before that he was crying to a mannequin to say hello to him. I also wondered how the creatures got intelligent and how they knew to use "Fred" the mannequin from outside the video store. I wondered how the creatures tracked them home when they were in a vehicle. I mean the woman and boy didn't put any liquid down to cover their scent like the doctor did, but they were in a vehicle. Yeah, it was dark, but the creatures weren't that fast and if they could smell well enough to track a moving vehicle, they should of been able to find him long before that. Another question I had is why after the creatures trapped the doc and released the dogs, and after the light had faded, why didn't they attack with the dogs? They explained the virus as turning 5% of the non-immune into zombies resembling the onset of rabies, and if it were they would be violent and stronger, but not as fast and strong or as smart as these creatures were. My biggest question: Why didnt the doctor (Will Smith) throw the dang grenade through the glass and hide with the woman and her boy? They even said there was plenty of room, they survived, and you dont have to self-detonate a grenade, it has a fuse. Really, being that he was a soldier and had access to every piece of military equipment in New York, he should of had more than a grenade and some claymores out side his house. I would of been sleeping in a tank with a .50 cal. turret gun and about 20 rocket launchers with the surronding blocks wired with C4, Claymores, PMN mines, Comp-B, and a few 100 lb. bombs to level the entire area around me.

I liked it. But it was very sad
