I certainly aimed at his street cred which is why I picked on the hardest looking of the fcuktards to give some abuse to. He looked like he was going to cry after I'd whispered in his ear what I'd do to him if he didn't shut the **** up.

Went to watch it today, it's typical hollywood fodder albeit with a few nice production touches, particularly the attention to detail in a desolate new york.
Other than that it's a crock of bull.
More amusingly I was sharing the cinema with a gang of juveniles who seemed to think using their phones and talking throughout the movie was acceptable. After 5 mins I said 'SHUT THE **** UP'- this worked for around 10 mins then the noise level began to creep up. The largest male was wearing a 'beanie hat' so I kicked the back of his seat as he made some smart **** comments about an XTC overdose as the vampire/mutant in the movie fitted given exposure to daylight. He looked at me and I then snatched the beanie from the top of his head and threw it down the aisle. Along with the comment to all of them '**** with me anymore and I'll punch your ******* lights out you little *****'. This seemed to amuse some of the other patrons in the cinema who'd spent their time making 'shhhh' noises and complaining to each other about the little *****.
They were good as gold throughout the rest of the film and didn't dare even look at me when it finished.
Quite honestly I'd have been prepared to break the nose of the leader in order to teach them a lesson.
Little wakners.

Although the cocky wakners didn't look much like kids when the light went up. More like potential gun wielding rapist crack fiends.
Back to the film it was ruined in typical style by having a 'happy ending'. Omega man was miles better as is Matheson's book.

Hmmm i take it by having a happy ending it does not follow the outcome of the original film that was released in the fifties then?

I just went to the cinema for the first time in a while and I was hugely disappointed with the film. I thought it would be much better, and after the dog thing the movie just got silly and didn't make any sense at all.

^^^ what he said.
First hour was well made and errie, after that it just went to mush.
Lots of things left unexplained, the plot gave way 100% to CGI and that was all she wrote.
Left me disappointed and robbed of something that had the makings of a very good film.
Could have given it at least another 40 minutes and made something of it, explained quite a few missing pieces that didn't make sense.
And why all of a sudden did God have to come into it? She "had a feeling" give me a break!
The original book called them vampires, the Omega Man had "the family" and I am Legend had CGI leftovers from The Mummy.
It could have been so much better.....

Bit of a let down, agree that it all went down hill after the first hour or so.
Maybe the directors cut has an alternate ending or add just a bit more 'meat' to the plot?
I really don't think the zombies had the intelligence to set the the trap with the manequin.
Also how did the zombies track them back to his house? I missed that bit.

The book ends with the protagonist (ie Will Smith in the film) being executed by a group of vampires who are forming their own society to replace the now dead human civilisation.
Rather than some numb-nuts hollywood american survivalist compound crap where humans survive and the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE is preserved, hallelujah!
