I kinda am. It *is* a really good book and the film looks like they just changed up all kinda shit. Lions running around and whatnot. That's not the vibe of the book. The book is all about loner paranoia and a retelling of the vampire mythos.
F*** Will Smith and all the intellectually lazy SOBs in Hollywood who run around thinking they can "improve upon" everything that's already been done.
Read the book, rent 'Omega Man' (or 'The Last Man on Earth' with Vincent Price), or - on second thought - just read the book, which is excellent.
Hell...uh...to the YES.
Matheson is a big fave of mine, and specifically in his case (and generally in respect to the garbage that passes for movie "adaptations") I just get tired of the endless stream of crap. If anything good comes out of this it'll be that 'I Am Legend' will come out in a cheap trade paperback version and people will have the opportunity to get at the source material.

This will happen. So why are you mad?
Movies like this always increase interest in the book they are adapted from. A ton of people will see the movie and then read the book, no doubt agreeing with you that "the book was better."

Because a veritable army of humps will exit the theaters, never go anywhere near the book and will spend the rest of their miserable lives ignorant of Matheson's original vision. If your going to shit on someone's book, at least change the title.

I don't know if I'm ready to deal with HC post Star Wars.
Forget about HC, it's all about the supporting cast and visual effects! Bilson in a bra! Samuel Jackson reprising his "Unbreakable" voodooman role! Crazed visual effects!

Jeah!
You sound like you liked "Transformers" too.
As for special effects, isn't this basically the same shit as:
Come on man you know you wanna see this dude "jump" into a bank and then have Sam Jackson pull him through the ether with some tractor gun..and BILSON, son!!!!
hahaha, nahh I hated that Transformers crap except for Megan Fox haha!

I'm with Oliver, I can't stand HC. I think he's one of the worst actors I've ever seen. This movie looks like something I would have watched when I was 14.
I live within walking distance of the freeway in Omega Man (210 in Sylmar).
As for the "book is better than the movie" stuff, i feel like such an anti-intellectual for not reading the novels assocated with so many classic movies. I guess I should start.

If Matheson's willing to let it go, so am I.
The Silent hill movie had a big omega man/last man on earth influence.

Anyone excited about "The Mist" ? That was a nice Stephen King story actually.

Do I really need a whole movie?
