I know I know, I also fucking hate Will Smith's recent work, but this movie has potential.
In a nutshell:
Viral holocaust. One man survives, only to find out everyone else's turned into a mindless vampire. He takes it upon himself to kill said vampires during the day, hiding at night. What he doesn't know is that a group of people found a pseudo-cure for the "mindless" part of the virus, and have a nocturnal society. This society has an urban legend: During the day, when nobody's awake, a boogey man kills your friends.

The comics were great.

Woh woh woh, back up. It's called "I am legend"?

Yep. grammatically incorrect titles for the win.

If Legend is used as a noun in this case, which it appears to be, it isn't grammatically incorrect at all.

Anyway it seems interesting. Might not go see it in theaters but I'll definitely rent it.

His name's Neville, though. And no, not "Neville Legend".

I like the idea. Could be a good movie, might go to the cinema for it

"Legend" could be a given title. I am Oxtail-Soup, see?

Anyway, this look lame. Kind of similar to 28 Days Later, but shitty, it would seem.

The book is also where the band He Is Legend got their name from :facts:

I'm pretty excited for this movie. It'll be neat to see an apocalyptic film with vampires instead of zombies. It's been awhile since there's been a good vampire film.

It has vampires, cool.

I still like Omega Man.

Sound's cool. I'll definately watch it, probably at the movies.

Basically, vampires that follow the stereotypical vampire rules have appeared due to an airborne sickness.

The vampires are intelligent, seeing as how they taunt, flaunt, and beg for Neville to come out.


Basically, the book is less about Vampires and more about a man's survival.

All right, I was already going to see this for sure — mostly because I got to be around where it was filming, and I wanted to see set vs. in-movie setting — but now I am going to force my friends to come along to, 'cause that actually sounds interesting.

It seems to have potential, I prefer zombies over vampires, but it still may be interesting. I will probably see it in theaters, as I tend to see movies with any amount of potential in theaters rather than waiting to rent it.
