Would have been 10/10 if not for dat ending...

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2012)

What can I say? This movie could have been a classic. It should have been a classic. But then Hollywood ruined it. If it had stuck with the SOURCE MATERIAL in any way, this movie would have been a masterpiece. A blockbuster that actually conveyed a message. Instead, Hollywood dumbed it down and completely destroyed the ending, which also opens up some plot-holes in the movie.
The whole point of the movie being called "I Am Legend" is because Will Smith is the bad guy, the "legends" that the vampires refer to because he keeps going into their dwellings and snatching their kind for his research. The vampires are intelligent, benevolent creatures, trying to rescue one of their kidnapped girls. But Hollywood didn't like that ending, they wanted Will Smith to be the hero. And the original ending (that also happened to be in the novel) became a deleted scene. What a crock of mudbutt mixed with swamp ass. Way to go Hollywood.
Everything else about this movie was phenomenal. I just can't give it the 10 it deserves because of dat ending.
