Big Willy Style likes these sort of movies doesnt he, and he acts well in them for the most part. The movie premise looks interesting, will have to wait and see what else comes out about it.

There's a slim possibility I might be interview Big Willie Style himself this week... Here's hoping, although Im not gonna hold my breath for it.

This movie comes out in the States today. I'm not going to go see it, but I'll definitely pick it up when it comes out on DVD or something.

They ran an advert for it on TV last night. It appears to be Will Smith alone in a futuristic post war New York with a load of CGI animals and monsters.

It really looks a fun movie and im a fan of will smith,really cool guy and a very good actor.From the clips i saw, it does look quite an eery film with just smith the only human around a completley deserted New York.

Torotoro....LMAO at your new avatar!

And this does look like a good movie. I have always been a big Will Smith fan.

Darth Mattitude · The Dark Admin

Well seen it, WIll Smith was superb, but for the most part the film was decidedly average with a whole bunch of ropey CGI.

I was thinking abaout going to see this DM, but I've heard mixed reviews. As a fountain of all movie knowledge and expertise, do you reckon its worth the £6.50 plus popcorn etc to go and see it?

Darth Mattitude · The Dark Admin

Depends. If your a fan of Will SMith then yes. If your looking for a decent night out then probably. If your looking for Oscar winning groundbreaking effects and a really scary movie then no.

I thought the movie was good.Not amazing,but good.the first half an hour I thought was awesome,but it slowly went down hill,and the ending was rather rushed.

neuman · A List Star

Seen this, wasnt anywhere near as good as hoped. Will did act well, but it was slow to start, nice bit of action in the middle, then crap ending. not what i was hoping for. Oh well. was worth seeing though

DVD release news...

I Am Legend DVD Announcement
Source: Warner Bros. Home EntertainmentFebruary 1, 2008

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has issued DVD release plans for the smash-hit I Am Legend starring Will Smith.

Special Edition, Standard Edition, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD/DVD incarnations are expected to street on March 18th. The Special Edition (two-discs) touts a new "controversial ending" affixed to an alternate cut of the film along with four animated comics (Death as a Gift, Isolation, Sacrificing the Few for the Many and Shelter) and DVD-ROM special features go behind-the-scenes of the production.

The standard edition comes with the comics and DVD-ROM goodies.

NymVette · Movie Producer

Got this on DVD but haven't watched it yet. It is the version with the alternate ending.

Darth Mattitude · The Dark Admin

The alternate ending is pants. The best thing about this is Will Smith who is superb throughout.

NymVette · Movie Producer

I watched it and really enjoyed it, but you could have warned me it would have me crying!

I thought the theatrical ending was good, but didn't much like the alternative ending.

I'll wrap my next comments in a spoiler as they are my thoughts about the story that would ruin bits for people not seen it yet.

Spoiler: The scene with sam getting infected and having to be killed had me crying so much.

I also had a read on the original book that I am Legend is based on. In that the disease caused symptoms similar to vampirism, so don't like light or garlic and feed on the uneffected. So they keep the aversion to UV light and a kind of feeding as effects of the disease in the film.

In the book he is trying to cure the disease too, but at the end of the novel, he has a glimpse of a future society in which infection is the norm and Neville is a murderous deviant. As this happens, he realizes that, just as vampires used to be legends in times before the infection, he is now a legend to the new "Human race" after the infection.

After reading this it makes the alternative ending as that is what they were trying to show, the infected were not the rabit crazy people they thought and had some understanding and that Will Smiths character was seen as someone killing them and not trying to save them.
