Default I am Legend - Movie Review.
SO I went and seen this tonight, and all I can say is I was blown away, it scared, excited and kept me entertained for the entire movie, Its quite graphic in parts and the effect are brilliant.

On the down side, the product placement and bullshit is a little over the top and stupid...

FORD obviously sponsored the movie along with Apple, apart from that grab your loved one and prepare to be taken on a very good ride.

8/10

Will Smith is so so good and appears cant actually make a bad movie.

Also will add dont just download this movie, its one I think that needs to be seen on the bigscreen

ENJOY!

Thanks for the review, I'm hanging for this movie. But here in AUS we have to wait till the 3rd Jan.

Will smith has been on fire with his movie choice for along time now. ' I ROBOT' was a very underated film.

I agree I watched 'I Robot' again the other night. Still enjoyable.

End of Line (I also watched Tron)

It was the highest grossing non-sequel movie for the opening weekend in the states all year, did about $71 million. It is also the biggest grossing Will Smith movie for the opening weekend as well (it did about 150% of Independance Day). (those numbers are close I think, I can't remember the exact detail since this morning :P)

Glad to hear you loved it Should do well in Australia to, and I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it.

p.s. You shouldn't "just download" any movies ;)

I enjoyed the original;) so this should be good.

OH, OK...so it's not a remake of 'The Last Man On Earth' from 1964 starring Vincent Price, where a biological catastrophe wipes out mankind, leaving only Vincent to battle the undead zombies.

Isn't it a remake of the Omega Man with Charlton Heston?

Sure is! He cruised in a '70 LTD in that one, and there was a Mustang-through-the-shop-window scene, as per the remake...

Yeah that's what I thought when I saw the preview! It was pretty damn B-grade though. Not exactly groundbreaking nor was it Heston's best.

No s^&t, but if you want to look at the time I posted that, as of then, there was only a video camera release. Theres this little thing called time, things change as it goes along.

2007-12-16 XviD I Am Legend (2007) *CAM*
2007-12-21 XviD I Am Legend (2007) *DVDSCR*

Now if you can figure out what that means, you will see my post was from the 17th, 4 days before the good version came out that you can actually watch.

The american gangster screener has been available for about 3 months. That is a great movie!

Wild Wild West was a shocker... other than that I agree. Admittedly that was a while ago though - probably should cut the guy a break. I remember reading somewhere he turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix to film that one.
