Nothing like the book (mild spoiler-ish)

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2008)

NB Not a spoiler if you have not read the book.
I put the book down last night and saw the film tonight...
If you changed the title and the main character's name, nobody would have recognised it.
All tolled not a bad film. There are plenty of the pretty horror movie effects we have all come to know and love over recent years.
Unfortunately this was a missed opportunity to tell the much more powerful story the base novel's author wrote.
In summary; if you liked the book try to ignore the title and use of "Robert Neville" and just enjoy a reasonably straight faced post monster apocalypse film. If you haven't read the book enjoy the film, read the book.
Should have at least kept the legend he was the same. "I am Legend", just not the same one.
