Will Smith, I hate you.

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 2017)

My intense dislike for this movie stems from its complete disregard for the book on which it is based. The story in the novel has been hacked into a nonsensical, self-serving mash-up of sci-fi / horror crap. The CGI baddies are ridiculous. They aren't even the same type of creatures in the book. Why change them? If you changed the name of the character and change the title of the movie, it would be unrecognizable as the classic novel.
The reveal at the end of the novel as to the relevance of the title, "I Am Legend," is poignant and it reinforces the underlying tone of the story. The change in the ending of the movie is pure Hollywood garbage
The tone of the story in the book was hauntingly gloomy and DARK. It was chilling and bleak. Will Smith makes the movie into fluff. I hate Will Smith more for this movie than I do for subjecting the world to his offspring.
