And for those of you who don't think Smith could have miraculously survived the first film, then please. Maybe they'll use that development to further bastardized why he's a "legend." Idiots - including Smith, who should know better.

C'mon Hollywood! Get it together baby.

Oh and yes it would have been better if they'd found something other than cgi for the "monsters". etc, Just pointing out that it's regarded by many as a pretty decent flm, as well as a pretty entertaining one.

If they really want to make a sequel to a film that the main protagonist dies in hurry up and make us a seqwel to LEON! That of course does NOT mean it's a good idea, especially if thy go withsequel and try to keep Smith alive to guarantee the box office.

I'm taking this with a huge barrel full of salt.

"And there was Rocketman, trying to get out, and here comes the cliff, and just before the car went off the cliff, he jumped free! And all the kids cheered! But I didn't cheer. I stood right up and started shouting. This isn't what happened last week! Have you all got amnesia? They just cheated us! This isn't fair! HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCK - A - DOODIE CAR!"

"You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy."

That is all.

Fuck you, Will Smith. Fuck you Akiva Goldsmith. Fuck you anyone involved in this travesty. You've got no respect for the book, and I have no respect for you.

There, problem solved. Most of I Am Legend was decent to great, just drop the shit that didn't work and release it.

He Was Legend and I'm just Riding his Coattails to Vermont...

(fucking Hollywood retards)

I'm used to the idea of hiding spoilers for at least a few years, but I guess with the way technology's going, that window of time is closing to the day-and-date of release!

After being captured, Neville looked down from his confinement and saw all of the other sentient vamps looking at him in amazement. It was at this point that Neville realized that he was the monster, not them. He was their Legend. That's why he killed himself (although he probably would have been killed).

"Neville meets Ruth again in his prison; she informs him that she is a ranking member of this new society but unlike the others she doesn't fear and hate him. She tells him she had come to his prison to try and help him escape but that is now impossible. She acknowledges the need for Neville's execution, and slips him pills, claiming they will 'make it easier'. Emotionally broken, Neville finally accepts his fate and tearfully asks Ruth not to let this society get too brutal and heartless. Ruth kisses him and leaves.

Neville goes to his prison window and gets a glimpse of all the infected milling around in the yard waiting for his execution. When they spot him, he sees the fear, awe and horror in their eyes and he understands to them he is a scourge, just as they were a scourge to him at the beginning of the novel. Previously Neville saw the destruction of the infected survivors as a right and a moral imperative to be pursued for his own and mankind's survival, but now he finally acknowledges defeat. He is the only immune human left in the world, the only survivor of the "old race".

He glimpses a future society where infection is normal and he, Neville, is a murderous, biologic deviant. As he turns away and swallows the pills, Neville grasps the reversal that has taken place and that, just as vampires were legend in pre-infection times now he, as obsolete exemplar of old humanity, is legend in the eyes of the new race born of the infection."

Neville realizes that he will be "the boogey man" that the "new race" will tell scary stories to their children stories about around the campfire. "Be good or *The Neville" will get you". As his consciousness slips away, he concludes: "I Am Legend". Stupid fucks.

I just saw "Dead Set", and was put off by the ending the way the producer became such an illogical, irrational, bullying asshole in such a time of crisis. But then I remember crapfests like IAL and realize that such a depiction probably isn't all that far off.

No 'test screenings' no 'marketing surveys', just follow the fucking story as Richard Matheson wrote it.

Or is that too 'out there' for the nose-candy brigade?

or they can hire Tim Kring to write a time travel movie Heroe is Legend and Smith's character can use a time travel device at the last second before he blows himself up, go back in time rescue General Custer from the Indians and come back to fight the vamps.

just kidding, I love it

Too soon?

Fuck you.
