“Will Smith movie - Apart from not capturing the mood the mood whatsoever, it doesn't even have the correct ending to explain why it's called I am legend. When he says those last words in the novel it's ultimately the most chilling and depressed part of the book in terms of humanity.”
“great will smith movie”
“The book was written in 1954The first Movie was "The Last Man On Earth", 1961 with Vincent PriceSecond Movie was The Omega Man, 1971 with Charlton Heston. So nope not a rip off just another movie based on the book.”
“Has anyone seen the movie, "Trilogy of Terror" that came out in the mid-late 70's? One of the shorts towards the end of this book, the voodoo doll, is featured as one of those three stories within the movie (FYI...).”
“Hello, the Omega Man is one of three different movies based off of THIS book.”
“You got to be kidding this is a rip off from the movie Omega man with Charlton Heston”
“One of the most influential vampire novels of the 20th century, I Am Legend regularly appears on the "10 Best" lists of numerous critical studies of the horror genre. As Richard Matheson's third novel, it was first marketed as science fiction (for although written in 1954, the story takes place in a future 1976). A terrible plague has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive have been transformed into blood-thirsty creatures of the night. Except, that is, for Robert Neville. He alone appears to be immune to this disease, but the grim irony is that now he is the outsider. He is the legendary monster who must be destroyed because he is different from everyone else. Employing a stark, almost documentary style, Richard Matheson was one of the first writers to convince us that the undead can lurk in a local supermarket freezer as well as a remote Gothic castle. His influence on a generation of bestselling authors--including Stephen King and Dean Koontz--who first read him in their youth is, well, legendary. --Stanley Wiater”
“For camrymyst Last man on earth, starring vincent prie.”
“None of the three movies, I feel, capture the feeling of the book.”
“I am Legend. I'm a huge fan of this story. When I watched the first film with Vincent Price, Last Man on Earth, I was chilled by the story. I even went hunting for the movie several years ago in a rental place so I could rewatch it. Then last year I bought a copy on ebay.I also enjoyed the remake with Charleston Heston, Omega Man.When I heard they were making I am Legend with Will Smith, it reminded me how much I loved this story. I was very excited. So I bought the book, realizing Last Man on Earth followed the story very well.When I went to see I am Legend I was sorely disappointed.
