Will Smith's new movie I AM LEGEND

caught the first showing last night at midnight... super blowed. there was this scene when they were in will's apartment and in the back round u see, clear as day, that will's character has a total grow set up with full branches of bud hanging and drying. I thought that was pretty tight......hahah

hahaha

I kinda want to read the book first.

I saw it, I am a fan of the book. It is not the book not even close, everything is different. So go see it Kant it won't ruin the book. My feelings are they took a classic book about lonliness and the fragile human mind, and the will to survive and turned it into a second rate rip of 28 Days, too much action and not enough of the despair and turmoil the last man on earth feels.

nice review... well said.. I hope to see it soon...

love

the movie was good. never read the book, but the movie was well put together.
doublestuffs18 what scen you talking about? the one in the ketchen? it looked to me it was just seedlings.but i could be wrong

I saw it tonight. I thought it was badass. My friends brought me to it and i had no idea what it was about. So it was a good surprise. Only bad thing is they killed the dog off, that was a cool dog.

Really they had marijuana plants in the movie, i must have missed it. But they did have a really nice Bob Marley ONLY sound track!

wha? I've never seen this movie and i wanna see it.

what about marijuana?

I have not read the book, so I can't be disappointed by the movie.
Regardless it looks like this movie is doing record breaking business at the box office.
I'll still probably wait for the DVD....

For anyone interested here are the numbers:
Will Smith Can Now Say 'I Am Legend': $30M Friday Debut & $80M Weekend! 'Chipmunks' Open To Cheeky $40M Wkd


SATURDAY AM: Some amazing numbers were posted Friday for this weekend's No. 1 and No. 2 movie releases. Warner Bros' I Am Legend opens closer to $80 million than the studio's hoped-for $50 million from Friday through Sunday after making a whopping $29.6 million Friday in 3,606 theaters for first place. This more than demonstrates that Will Smith is now the biggest U.S. box office stud bar none and breaks his previous opening record (I Robot's $62 mil in summer). This also will easily be the biggest December movie opening ever. Not only did I Am Legend soar past the numbers for King Kong's and Narnia's December debuts, but it looks likely to pass all three of the Lord Of the Rings trilogy's Christmas-timed openings as well, including Return Of The King's record-setting $72.6 mil.) The humongous hit is a badly needed life preserver for Warner Bros' drowning movie division, which I'm told didn't even have time to do a research screening on the film since it came in so late.
I won't have exit polling until tomorrow, but Smith is one of the few, if not only, Hollywood stars right now who tracks extremely well with both African-American and Hispanic audiences as well as whites. That accounts for why I Am Legend's numbers went through the roof even though its "last man on earth who's not alone" subject matter is a downer. (Charlton Heston starred in The Omega Man, a 1971 adaptation of I Am Legend, the post-apocalyptic novel by Richard Matheson.) "But put Will Smith into it, and it really changes the equation," a Warner Bros source told me. "It's definitely tracking four quadrant." I'm told the movie played broadly -- almost equally male/female, under age 25/over 25, ethnic/non-ethnic -- and playability was strong with all audiences being at or above the norms with males slightly stronger than females. That was evident even going into Friday, I was told, when the PG-13 thriller had definite interest among young males (74%), older males (67%), young females (56%) and older females (49%). The only question now is whether the East Coast storms will affect Saturday and Sunday turnout there, prompting one Warner exec to rue not having a degree in meteorology.
