Also don't forget to read the book if you haven't, it has such a sombre ending!

There's no doubt that the alternative ending is WAY better than the original one.

This is a 7... extra point with the alternative ending!

The first hour of this film is by far the strongest as Smith leads the audience through his day-to-day existence in an abandoned New York. It is a great set-up as the film gradually reveals both the central character's past and his intentions and there are some great tense sequences. It's a shame then that the introduction of other characters is the moment when the film become less interesting and the final hour devolves into rather generic action beats that are also let down by the decision to render the film's antagonists in CGI (which has also badly dated). It doesn't help that the alternate ending that is presented from the theatrical version is actually stronger, giving some additional context to the antagonists and filling in some plot holes. Quite a let-down when the film had started out so strongly, but it is still engaging enough.

"Legend" overall is one of the better movies of 2007 and a must see. Not Oscar-worthy by any stretch of the imagination, but it's certainly entertaining, realistically tense and maybe even thought provoking.

It's a good movie, though I found the alternative ending a lot better than the theatrical one.

I didn't like the end but it's a good movie

Good but not great !

This was alright but just felt pretty basic in terms of storytelling. Having said that Will Smith's performance was captivating hence why I've rated this movie as high as I have. You also have to take into account the year it was released. It's pretty decent for what they would have had to work with back then.

This is a tension filled movie with a lot of leap-out-of-your-seat frights. It manages to be a scary and intense film with minimal gore. Will Smith is fantastic here and shows none of his "Independence Day" or "Bad Boys" overages. I had been apprehensive about his ability to portray Robert Neville having read Richard Matheson's great book also named "I Am Legend". The movie does largely base itself on this book and I enjoyed many of the movie's modern interpretations. However the ending differs greatly which is a letdown. I would have loved to see the book's ending executed here. The meaning of the title as potrayed in the movie is the most disappointing thing about it. It totally lacks the "Twilight Zone" like twist of the book. Overall though this is a terrific movie.

Level "Interesting" • 7 :heart: • Entertaining and Good.

i can't believe it took me this long to watch this movie i love will smith so much jfc
