I am Legend

The movie is the third or forth adaptation of Richard Mathesons book of the same title. the first was Last man on Earth another was Omega Man. The current one is the first to carry the title of the book.

Having read the book many years ago I unfortunatly was disapointed in a number of things that the movie did to the story. For one Will smith, while a good actor, no arguement there, doesn't quite fit the profile of Robert Neville who is of english-german decendent. Its like casting Hugh Jackman to play Ali. But this is a minor flaw.

Secondly the book portraid the 'Dark seekers/vampires' in two forms, those that died from the infection and arised beastial and those that didn't die, but suffered some of the 'side effects', nausea from garlic etc, but retained themselves. But they have organised and found a way of halting the infection but not curing it. They have become the majority and Robert the terrible scourge of their race.

Now the movie showed this slightly in the fact that the 'dark seekers', or at least one of them, had the facilties to set a trap for him that denotes intelligence and planning. But alas still cast that one as a mental case driven by the most basic of emotions.

Thirdly Robert in the book had started the slide into insanity constantly arguing/taking with himself. After all it had been three years since he had anyone to interact with short of the 'vampires' coming to his house nightly. And then hunting them during the day. Now 3 years of that is sure to tip anyone over the edge, but events help to keep him tetering on the edge.

So should you be one of the few that has read the book and enjoyed it don't go expecting the same from the movie. If you haven't read it you should enjoy it for what it is. I then recommend that you purchase the book and read it.
