• Great Remake!
  I have the Charlton Heston version of this film, titled "The Omega Man," and can say that "I Am Legend" is a great remake of the story. While TOM was more religious in nature, which was accepted at the time (it was in essence a Vegetable Myth story,) IAL takes a more objective view of the story.

• Will Smith versus Act Up.
  Don't waste time with this movie. Lucky I didn't pay for it. The Omega Man was much better. This one was outright stupid. Will Smith can't act, and the bald sissys terrorizing him reminds you of an Act Up revolt. Richard Matheson's plot was drowned by the special effects.

• okay, but predictable
  This wasn't a bad movie.. but it's only 'okay.' I wish I had rented it instead of buying the blue-ray. This movie is very predictable and depends largely upon the depth of Will Smith's character. I think they made a good attempt at developing a deep character, but ultimately I think the movie fell short.
  I would recommend renting it instead of purchasing it.
