Do you feel that spoiling the story for others is appropriate?

How does that spoil it?

for all we know, Sam could be a real hunk, who wins the lottery, finds himself a really fit bird and lives the life most people dream of - which is why WWp8 is upset..

Ok it's a long shot but you'll never know till you watch it...

I think you will find that it was the screenwriters that spoilt the story.

I was extremely disapointed with I am Legend. It just doesn't make any sense and is full of inconsistencies.

I thought it was quite good actually. Got to be in the right mood though I guess.
Nice to see something slightly dramatical without too many flashing lights, missile attacks, tanks or other such. (note "without too many )

I think Empire summed it up best: Stuff that occurs during the day is excellent, as soon as night falls, it's pants!!

So, overall, average!!

The rest was a bit pants.

Wasnt overly impressed with it either, slow and dull, not enough entertainment throughout to keep me interested in it for the full duration.

Was he trying to run the dear over........or shoot them ?

He got that close to one he could have stroked it !

The rifle and scope could have nailed a dear at 3 miles...

Why didnt he drop the grenade and get in the safe with the other two ?

Why did he never take a ****, after eating all that veg, and facing all those mutants you would not expect constapation.

Why did his watch date read 08.17.05 ?

How the hell did they think a Blackbird SR71 was gong to take off and aircraft carrier ?

The film was not set in 2005, or even shot in 2005..............

The watch alarm sounds nothing like the original watch, but then again the Mustangs engine and box didnt sound anything like the real deal either.

Read the book - The title actually makes sense that way.
