What I don't get about I Am Legend *SPOILRER INVOLVED*

I watched the movie online and the one thing I don't get it. At the end he finds the cure for all the infected people, and he gets it in a little vial, YAY! But surely, the next problem would be distributing this tiny ammount of liquid to the masses and masses of infected people. He wants the cure so much and whe he finally gets it its basically useless. Ah well its an alright film

The entire film was not what I expected, and really fell apart in the 3rd act... I feel they tried to do too much with the film (and the movie suffered for this) rather than doing anything well.

I thought it was a good movie. If you had seen either of the
1st two versions: Omega Man (Charlton Heston) or the
original with Vincent Price you would be saying Will deserves
an Oscar.

Not to change the subject of this thread but is that any different than if someone finds a porn site's entire member's area online and downloads it for free and then says, "well, I wasn't going to join the site, but if I can get it for free I'll take it?"

Theft is theft. They made the movie and charge a fee to watch it. If you watched it without paying that fee (or being subject to whatever terms are put forth by it IE commercials, advertising for TV and that type of thing) then it is still theft. That you would have never watched it in the first place is a moot point.

Yeah I kind of got that bit, but still he could remain at ground zero after he killed them, he didn't need to go with the woman and child to the area she was going. Anyway, best not to get too involved in it, it's a movie afterall. I did like it, though it didn't blow me away.

Another thing I hated was that the movie makes it clear that God was actually talking to the female character (who had a vision from God that there was a colony of survivors in Vermont).

So this means that God allowed the world to basically end except for a handful of people. (Another Noah's ark situation.)

i liked the omega man
assuming this one followed the same plot then the cure would be passed person to person thru the blood.

The daughter and I went to see it at the theatre last week.

My question is - how'd the surviving chick escape Manhatten in her SUV when all the bridges had been blown up (and the tunnels apparently blocked)?

Agreed - the movie fell apart towards the end. Way too many gaps in logic.

I still liked Omega Man better (hippie ghouls and all...)

The "answer" is in the blood. The girl's body produces antibodies that fight off the infection. Those antibodies and the trick to producing those antibodies can now be found in ever cell of her body and in her blood.

You did yourself a huge disservice by downloading the movie and watching it on your PC.

I just came back from watching it in IMAX, and it kicked ass.

Anyone who steals movies and watches them on their PC's is robbing both the film makers of money they deserve to make, and they are robbing themselves of the movie going experience, and the artestry of the movie itself.

Besides the very solid acting by Will Smith, the movie is stunning to look at and listen to. I know they used CG to create most of the futuristic New York City, but its done so well that there's no way of telling what is CG and what's "really there". Buildings covered in plastic. Streets overrun with grass, shrubs and wild animals. Bridges destroyed. It all looked 100% "natural". Bravo to the artists.

Next time, TREAT YOURSELF to a GOOD MOVIE EXPERIENCE. Pay the lousy $15 for the ticket and pay another $10 for the overpriced coke (who cares?). Escape for a while, and ENJOY THE MOVIE.

I've experienced the "movie going experience" - the gobs of teens who can't stop fingering each other and checking their text messages every 5 bloody minutes. Stealing movies? Please. If I was ten years younger and had a little more patience, i'd be doing exactly the same thing - 20 bucks just to watch a movie in sub par conditions is not what I consider the "movie going experience". Now in the comfort of my house with a nice strong rye and coke, now that's entertainment!

Omega Man was cheesy as hell...but still better than I Am Legend.

Meh... while I agree with what you're saying overall, I wouldn't quite call it an escape.

I saw it in theaters earlier tonight. The guys behind us were kicking our seats, text messaging and answering their phone (with their ringtones still on). Across the theater, there were teenage girls giggling and snickering through scenes that were supposed to be emotional/dramatic.

ditto on the movie going.. Only place I've almost beat up a 14 year old, THREE TIMES. Next time some stupid kid acts a fool I'm buying the biggest fucking drink they sell and dumping it on them.

i thought it was an average movie. nothing more.

and the ending in my opinion was weak... him sacrificing himself and tossing her a vial of blood saying "the antidote is in the blood" makes no sense. thats like me tossing one of you a vile of blood from someone infected with syphillis and saying "the cure is in the blood" as i hold a hand grenade to my chest.... ok... then what? thats not exactly useful information.... certainly not useful for a 200 random survivors in their small community unless they have a full lab, qualified people and all the background info on the "cure"... further, it assumes they can reproduce it into an usable treatment, in sufficient quantities.

Maybe instead of comparing it to Omega Man, try comparing it the actual book it was based on.

In the book, the bad guys were basically vampires, but they could still talk, etc.

At the end of the book he gets captured by a group of the vampires, who have created a new society and are getting along just fine. However to them, he is a monster of legend, that kills them without provocation. Ironically he realizes that humans are "obsolote" and he is now the monster, not the vampires, and thus he offs himself.

That's a cool ending. I think it'd be hard to put that version on film.

maybe you upload it to a p2p network where people can share it with millions of others, which is probably where you got the movie from.

As I said in another thread, there were many things that they hoped could just be explained away with imagination but really should have just been cleared up with a line or two of dialog or something.
Like the monster setting the trap in the puddle with the dummy. Why didn't Will's character go "They aren't supposed to be able to do that!" rather than leave us wondering if the monster really did do it, or if it was one of Will's old traps that he just forgot about (or what ever else our imagination could fill in the blanks with)?
Other than the few times these things occurred, it was a very well done movie.

I dunno why so many say the movie sucked. I thought it was pretty good. Only thing I thought was a little lame was him driving through the streets chasing the deer.

In reality after the few years actually in much less time, the gas would have gone bad. So there would have been no driving around like that 3 or 4 years later.

Theft is theft. They made the movie and charge a fee to watch it. If you watched it without paying that fee (or being subject to whatever terms are put forth by it IE commercials, advertising for TV and that type of thing) then it is still theft. That you would have never watched it in the first place is a moot point.
Then I'm a thief, don't really care

made sense for his character arc...there needed to be some kind of redemption for letting the virus spread. The scene in the lab at the end really fit(and was well done also, with the silence and music). If he lived, I would have been pissed.

people were pissed that the woman and child showed up in the last third, but for me, it made the movie better. I wasn't expecting it, and those two characters were necessary to bring the story to its conclusion. Sure, there's holes in the story, such as distribution of cure, how did Ana get into manhattan if the bridges were all blown, etc...but some disbelief has to be suspended. Jesus.

Standards are so fucking high for movies these days, even from people who have no business being critics. When I was in the men's room after seeing Legend, there about 10 morons in there dissing on it, with the most idiotic critiques I've ever heard. They just sounded like retards, and it made me realize that any movie that requires the slightest amount of thought is rejected. Not that it was a Kubrick film, but the movie was a cut above the standard multiplex horse shit.

The 1970s version of the film was much better. Check out Omega Man.

Let's see...

So in your world - someone who pays the admission price isn't allowed to have an opinion on the movie. Someone who questions basic flaws in plot logic is labeled a "moron" or "retard"?

Standards aren't high for movies these days. I think its the fact that Hollywood has crammed so much second-rate, regurgitated crap down the pipe lately that people have become justifiably jaded and skeptical.

Yes, the movie DID have its moments - the scenes of a desolate New York were well done and Smith carried the movie fairly well (like Hanks had to in Castaway).

But like several have pointed out - why the insults to our collective intelligence by leaving us to feel gullible with the logic gaps...when some things could have been easily explained with a few simple lines of dialogue, had the filmmakers cared to spend a little more time with the details.

The bit I thought was good, was when 'McLuvin' tried to purchase the liquor with the fake ID... Classic

Well, you weren't there, I was. Don't take it so personally. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean I'm calling you retarded.

I was referring to the idiots in the bathroom, who to me, are a good barometer for the average movie-going public.

"so that dummy was real? How did he get outside?"

"He shoulda banged that chick, yo"

During the movie, people were laughing at the "Please talk to me" scene, which was not deliberately funny. There just happened to be a lot of idiots in that showing, no doubt drawn in by Will Smith, but they weren't ready for something semi-cerebral.
