another remake gone bad

Rating: 3/10 (10 December 2007)

so another remake, and yet again we are reminded that we live in a dumbed down age. all the complexity of the book and previous films gone, instead a two dimensional b horror movie. Heston's the omega man improved on the novel by creating "the family", here robert neville has a worthy adversary, albeit a mad one. in legend they are super vampires who fly thru the air and growl a lot. much of the film's running time is wasted on pointless scenes that really do not add to the character or plot, the flashbacks with the family are utterly pointless, in the omega man, the end is logical and poignant, here it is meaningless, he really does not have to do what he does, (i will not say what it is, you will see when you see the movie, which by the way you should see on DVD, as its pretty much a waste of time and money to pay and see it in a theatre) by the way the screening i saw on Friday was far too loud, the film was far too loud, all noise and thunder no meat on them bones on a different note, i too have noticed the number of 10/10 votes this has gained, and judging from the fact people have voted and added a comment without seeing the film is pretty mind boggling , why is this allowed
