I am Legend–wait for it–ary
General December 13th, 2007
As appealing as it sounds to hear how the Fresh Prince handles life when he’s the only person left alive in an urban jungle, I think I’m going to let this movie pass. The loss/inner struggle (with a doggie,) is interesting. However, the ‘healing the diseased’ and fear element seems too zombie-ish for my liking, so I’ll probably not watch it. I should probably watch at least I, Robot and Pursuit of Happyness first.
About
Everything I’ve read/heard says this is going to be a very good movie. It’s based off the book and apparently does a good job of following it. Also, it is a remake of Charlton Heston’s Omega Man and Vincent Price’s The Last Man on Earth. I think I might actually have to see this one in the theaters.
Well, the fear element in the book is vampires, so you aren’t too far off on the zombie comment!
I don’t do the undead. (And if anything happens to the dog, I’m walking out… Damn you Dances with Wolves)
I recall watching the “teaser” trailer for this movie several months ago and being very interested. Then I went to the website and saw references to the un-dead and completely lost interest. It’s a shame, because it looked like it could be great movie until that point.
Saw it last night. I really liked it, but anyone with problems with the undead or bad things happening to dogs should *not* see it. In other words, Dave would REALLY dislike this movie.
