Has anyone seen this yet? I saw it the day it came out and two more times after that! I think this was one of the best movies I have ever seen! The only thing is that Neville didn't incorporate "I am legend." into the ending before he died like in the book. The vampires are also a little hoakie due to the fact that they cheaped out on computer graphics for them. I personally prefer this script instead.

LET THE DISCUSSING BEGIN!

I have never read the book, nor have I heard of it before I started seeing the commercials on TV. Anyways, from what I've seen on the previews, I'm guessing some sort of Resident Evil-like virus turns everyone into vampires, and for some reason, Will Smith is the only guy immune to it. Sounds cool! ^_^

Kinda sorta right. You almost have the plot right. I suggest you read the book by Richard Matheson before you see the movie.

Weren't the vampires aliens or something? That was the impression I got from the teaser umpteen months ago.

I'll have to watch this when there's a DVD release though.

No, the vampires are humans who were changed due to some lame scientists changing cancer cells to cure cancer. It worked, but either killed them or changed them into vampires later on. What idiot would test something on 10,009 people? They had 10,009 human tests and it was a 100% success. They may have cured cancer, but created something far worse that is also airborne.

A handful of humans were immune to the virus. They were either killed or changed by the vampires. Canines are only immune to the airborne, hence Neville's dog. For some reason though, Neville is immune to the airborne and the contact virus. There are different reasons in the other two movies (The Last Man On Earth, starring Vincent Price, and The Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston) I haven't gotten far enough in the book yet to where it tells why he's immune.

Not sure if you would like me to, but there is a place on the net called Joox that hosts movies. They have movies that are still in theaters and some that only have trailers. Dark Knight (the sequel to Batman Begins) was on there but was promptly deleted. It was the whole movie too! I am Legend is on there and it is a perfect copy too. It is a copy that was given to critics. If you want, I could give you the link to the site. The best thing is, It's all free. The sites get shut down eventually though for hosting those types of movies.

I can find The Last Man On Earth for you and it not be any trouble. It has no copyright so it is found in a lot of places.

Hmm...best not to directly link to the site so as to avoid any potential lawsuit for promoting pirated distribution of movies and stuff.

What about a PM. You seem to be interested or you would have just told me no. :D

I'm actually not interested, I don't support video piracy unless it's absolutely necessary (hence why I torrent anime, because it isn't sold here).

I recommend you don't PM it, it'd probably be worse than PMing porn to someone, seeing as I could get sued for it.

You actually couldn't be sued. It is just a site hosting links to the movies. Not the movies themselves. Not even the owners of the sites get sued when they get shut down.

I actually thought the ending incorporated the "Legend" part of Neville well. But then again I haven't read the book.

[SPOILERS]
When I heard "This is his legacy" at the end of the movie, it made me think of "Legend".

The end of the book actually has Neville saying "I am legend" at the end. The ending are completely different. You have to read the book if you've seen the movie or plan on it.
