Well, it really doesn't matter now what thread I reply to. Not having a go at anyone at all, but I agree the search function is there for a good reason.
I did not know 'I Am Legend' was originally a book. So I'm guessing the purists will nit pick, but if I'd read it, I probably would too, because the trailer left me unimpressed.
It started out looking very interesting, still a virus wipes infects mankind (which is this generations answer to atomic holocaust) that is slightly reminiscent of many films of late, but the thing that really put me off was the infected people being creatures. Films like Resident Evil or 28 Days Later (plus about a dozen direct to DVD films, lol) have trodden basically the same territory over and over again.
Sure the book may have come first (I don't know) and thats how they'll defend it, but talk about following a trend. I expected something else, what, I don't know, but something else.

Still, I'll check it out on DVD before I make up my mind. It may be a fresh take on an overused idea, who knows?
