Don't read book first, trust me!

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2007)

OK, i was so pumped for this movie was dancing with joy when i was in the car going to the theater. about a week earlier i had picked up a copy of the book I Am Legend, mostly because i heard the book was amazing and i just enjoy getting a head start. lets just say the book was one of the coolest things I've ever read, so READ THE BOOK sometime or another. the movie on the other hand go really against what the book wanted. the first part was great, showing how lonely new york really can be by yourself, but like everyone else said, the last 3rd was TERRIBLE!!!!!!! OTHER HUMANS??? GERNADES KILLING WILL SMITH>>>????!?!?!!??!?! a colony of humans???? WTF!!! not only does it go COMPLETELY against the book, its TERRIBLE!!! will smith is great, the dog is great, graphics great, but in the end, they took a GREAT book, idea, plan, dumbed it down to hour and half, and made shoot em up. oh, also, the "creatures" were just crazy CGI folks, and guess what, well the book they were actually intelligent that creature a new culture. and also the ending, as always, the book Neville becomes a legend because he is a vampire to this new society, but movie changes that also. I'm soooo frustrated because the movie had SOOOO much potential, and i really thought it had it, but of course not, the wrong people got a hold of it so it fell apart. see this movie, cause can be good, but don't read the book till AFTER you see the movie. oh, and when the chic comes in the movie, just leave, cause there really is nothing worth it after wards.
