Mini-Review: I Am Legend But Not At The Theater
It's the second Friday in a row that it is snowing a little(few flakes). At least this time, the mini-van was not there to block me from opening my car door like last time. It was more of a windshield liquid day instead. They were about 50 peoples, which for the time of the day, was more than usual for an English movie. The price of the ticket went up this week by $0.25. So, it cost $8.00 in the afternoon.
Anyway, like you can read from my title, I was not impressed with I Am Legend. After all, it's a remake from a classic Charlton Heston movie: The Omega Man that was also a remake.
The movie was slow and with much less action than I expected. Usually, movies of that length don't spend time on the characters and more on action. But, I did jump a 2-3 times. Will Smith character Robert Neville reminded me at times of the Tom Hanks character in Cast Away. The effects were very good.
Would I recommend the movie? Yes but more on DVD which I'm sure will be longer and unrated.

I actually just wrote a review myself. It’s not really a remake of those movies, it’s based on a book, which they all were.
It was good that there was little action, because that’s not what the book was about, but this movie still missed the essence of Richard Matheson’s original story and that was a bummer for me.

Yes, I knew about the book but did not read it. I was mostly comparing it to The Omega Man movie.
