I Am Legend
So, anyone on here go and watch this? What were your thoughts of the movie. Me personally, I thought it was ok but it was not as good as it seemed in the commercials and I thought it was going to be a total kick ass movie but was really dissappointed. It still had several good parts, but overall I don't think it was as good as it seemed in the commercials.

Stark: We have a HULK!
I hope it is better than the book. The book sucked. Really bad.
Do you think you had too high of expectations going in.
Probably, I read a lot of books.
I've never read the book. I'm excited for the movie, though. Reactions seem a bit on the mixed, but that won't hold back my fervor.
I've already tied your fervor up and hid him in my closet.
Really? It was one of the books kids who took a Sci Fi Writing class my senior year had to read and everyone told me it's awesome. In fact, they hated this movie just because it wasn't true at all to the novel.Originally Posted by Cim
As for me (haven't read the book), I'd agree that it was alright. It seemed that if I took the core of it, it would basically be 28 Days/Weeks Later, but less well done. Will Smith does a good job with what he has, but the script is pretty bad.
What I've been listening to:
The trailer looks good, but the whole plot has just been seen before (e.g. 28 Days Later). "The Darjeeling Limited" is coming out on the same day as "I Am Legend" over here, and I'd much rather see that. I looks really good, while "I Am Legend" just looks more and more like a generic blockbuster/action flick.
The trailer looks promising...But I don't really want to see it since his one and only friend is a dog. In movies, save those meant for children, this usually does not bode well for the dog (although there are exceptions). And I hate movies where animals get killed for drama. Yes, hurt the puppy, it'll make the audience cry but they'll still believe the character going on to find happiness without being *too* depressed about the loss of his/her puppy. Grrr.
But my friend wants to see it so I'll probably have to see it anyway. *mumbles*
忘れないように。。。
It just didn't live up to my expectations is all.
I saw it, good movie, very sad. I was really angry when (SPOILER)Sam, the dog, died, I tried to not bawl in the theater.
Yeah, thats exactly what I thought.

Stark: We have a HULK!
I thought it was a pretty great movie, but than again I have fairly loose standards for movies. Got decently intense at part, and had quite a few good moments. I'd say it's good enough to warrant a matinée showing like I did, or just wait until DVD
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
I liked it, but I didn't think it was mindblowing. I looked up the genreal plot of the original book, and that seemed very interesting. I might have to check that out sometime. Anyway, I probably liked it most than more people because I have a morbid fascination with an isolation/deserted theme. This is probably why I liked "Castaway" a lot and am obsessed with the Solitary Island sequence in FFVI. Stuff like that depresses the hell out of me, but I can't help but watch it.
It was what I expected, a good movie, but it seemed short :S
