Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (6 January 2008)

First off, do not expect this movie to be anything like the book - it is almost nothing like the book. With that said, I can handle movies that are based off books and change some stuff around...but just not to this extreme. The book by Richard Matheson is a classic, and one of my favorites in the genre. This movie was typical blockbuster Hollywood. It gave the audience a happy ending (which the book was anything but). I found this to be unacceptable. He was supposed to be the last human on Earth! That is why it is titled "I am Legend". Those are his final words before he is killed in front of thousands and thousands of vampires! Now, the actual content - horrible. Is this really the best we can do with CGI now? Honestly, I felt like I was watching a movie from 10 years ago. The "infected" or vampires were downright stupid looking. They were the most unrealistic CGI work I have seen in the last 5 years or so. They would have been much better using real people for the infected. Very poorly done.
