I am Legend

I doubt they could trigger the instinctive part of the mind to be carnivors of their own kind with a toxic chemical, still saving the intellegince of a human being.

 

I wasn't planning on seeing this, but you guy's make it sound to awesome. I think I will now =)

 

i think i'll buy it and throw it into my collection

 

*SPOILER ALERT!!! READ AT YOUR OWN CAUTION*

a scientist finds a cure for cancer, where you get virus that is suppose to cure the cancer
3 years later, will smith aka robert is hunting for moose meat (canadian?) for food
next day, while hunting, his dog, samantha, goes in a dark alley to chase after a moose
he goes in, very frightened, and searches for the dog
he gets ambushed by the mutants with the supposely cancer cure virus and jumps out the window to the light
the mutant that hold on to robert while falling gets owned by the beam of light

next day, he sets out a trap to get a mutant for tests
he captures one and ties it so it cannot attack
he injects something in the mutant he have captive and it suddenly becomes aggressive and dies
he injects something else and it is alive again

next day
he goes out to hunt again but he finds a doll out in front of a building while it is suppose to stay somewhere else and not move
he walks towards it after he shoots it just to get captured by the trap the mutants learned from robert
it is almost dark and robert wakes up and sets himself free
he lands on a sharp object which makes his right leg disabled
he crawls back to his car and the mutant finds him and sets out mutant dogs
he and sam fights off the mutant dogs and sam gets bitten

back in the lab, samantha gets the mutant virus and robert has no choice but to choke it to death
later in the night, he gets pissed off and goes out to revenge the mutants
they outsmart him and one of the mutant goes in the car to kill him but luckily someone alive saves robert

the next day, robert figures out that a woman named anna and her child ethan helped him
they have a conversation and later in the day, the mutants goes to his house because the mutants tracked down where he was

they hide in the lab behind the glass where the mutant robert captured is in
they notices that the mutant held captive is now a human without the disease
the mutants go in to the lab and starts attacking the glass which does nothing while robert is shouting out that he can save the mutants
the mutant leader comes out and starts bashing the glass until it starts breaking

robert takes a blood injecting thing and sucks it out of the human that was a mutant and gives it to anna and ethan and have them hide in a small cave since there is nowhere else to go and he wants to save them

robert goes muslim at the last second and gets out a gernade and suicides along with the mutants that broke in to his house

anna and ethan goes out the next day and goes to a surviving territory and gives the blood which is known to be a cure

I SAID IT WILL BE A SPOILER
IF YOU READ, THAT SUCKS FOR YOU DONT BLAME ME I WARNED YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THE POST

 

I hate how they look when they scream. It's like they have no teeth...

 

no teeth hu?? attack of the super powered old people

 

the flashbacks are fantastic , like when the dark seekers took down the helicopters.

 

There was an entire scene dedicated to showing off Will Smith's huge chest muscles.

That's all I'm saying.

 

alright read the book by now, and the book is less of a scifi thriller then the move, but more focused to the major changed in society due to the mutations. The "vampires" form their own civilization as the new humans and only Dr. Neville is left , killing them left and right. Thus the roles of predator and prey are reverese, where humans used to fear the vampires in legends as potential predators and an endangerment to the life of their kinsmen and villages , the new humans or "vampires" have regarded Dr. Neville in the same manner, to which point they hunt down and execute him and so he passes into legend as a monster.

 

The first movie where a zombie is ''smart'' learn the tricks of the human unlike the mindless one

 

Ensomgrav: that sounds like it would have made a much more interesting movie. I think some of that was hinted in the movie, but it certainly wasn't what it was focusing on.

 

I really liked I am Legend how it is now, but yes it would make a good movie with the exact same story neon. Just i dont think the public would enjoy it as much with the old plot. Remember Hollywood and Will Smith are out to make money.

 

They are out to make money but a better story line is a better story line. The book makes the name of the movie make sense. Its totally intriguing twist on monsters and legends. Hollywood gets so short sighted some times.
The thing is a better story last longer. Some movies make a fist full of cash on the first week they open then you never hear from them again while others remain popular forever and continue making money forever. Those end up making more money in the long run. Its the movies that make you think, reevaluate preconceived notions about life in this world that last. This movie didn't do that for me. It was a good concept poorly executed. Will was good in it though, of course.

 

It had such a melancholy atmosphere to it, like so many other films released that month. Makes you cry =(
