I saw Omega Man last week, with Charlton Heston.
Here we see that the dwellers are more intelligent and however murderous not as brainless as the monsters in Smith’s movie. I liked it more than I am Legend, but that is also because Smith’s movie sucked.

The book wasn’t particularly memorable either. I know Matheson has done some good stories before like Duel–one of Spielberg’s first films–and old Twilight Zone episodes, but I wasn’t really impressed with this particular story overall. Maybe I just like the idea of the last man on earth rather than the story of the last man on earth.

The similarities to 28 Days Later were so great that it distracted me during the first half of the film. Although, as Jose points out, many special effects were terribly badly done, I did like the “look” of the deserted Manhattan, with weeds growing out of the streets.

For the rest it was, to me, boring and a little predictable here and there.

****SPOILER****
I would have found it more interesting if the lead Darkseeker had shown an interest in working together with Robert Neville instead of continuing to growl and rip things apart. But then I don’t know the original story. Was it beter than the film?

this movie insults the story much more than just the vampire issue. The last man on earth is meant to become the “legendary” killer of a new society. And he certainly isn’t supposed to have some ridiculous happy-ish ending.

It is very typical for Will Smith to play the last man on earth though… fits his ego it seems…

Actors should try out different roles. Will Smith is a very seasoned actor. He has that good sense of humour to boast. Actors with that kind of ability can literally pull of any movie. It gets very boring when you have to watch just one person acting almost the entire film.
