Not the Book, Sorry

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2007)

This is another Hollywood letdown for fans of classic novels. If you were hoping that you were going to see the Richard Matheson work on the big screen, this movie will let you down.
However, is this a good movie? Yes... mostly. Will Smith does a terrific job in this movie. The right dose of Flashbacks and "Present" day action keeps the story going.
The first 3/4s of the movie is headed down a good line, different from the book, but almost seems to improve upon the original. The last fourth is where it loses touch with the viewer. I do not wish to spoil this movie for others, but the Producers tried too hard to have a happy ending for a story that is NOT supposed to have one. I do indeed mean that they just tried too hard.
