Watch the movie first, then read the book, it is possible to enjoy both!

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2020)

I watched this movie years ago, and very deliberately avoided the book until i had.
I am Legend the movie is a tense, sometimes creepy, sometimes heart breaking movie of substance and quality. Will Smith does an outstanding job and I found the story and the message of the this movie compelling and powerful.
Then there is Matterson's novel. It is completely different and is seeded purely in the horror with a very different meaning to the 'I am Legend' title.
I get people hating this movie for what the filmaker's did to the story in relation to the book. But this movie is great in it's own right and I personally love the movie and the book, I just see them as completely different stories.
Great film 8/10
