K G @KatyG-S Aug 21 The first try of "I Am Legend". When it came to adaptations from Warner Bros, its title is different from the original book & then comes a new adaptation with more faith. There will be points to my preference on "I Am Legend" (2007). Dr Robert Neville is still a brave face & daring to hunt down albino mutants with his main character energy. More positive things, I loved the the empty trashed site of the street proving life was well abandoned with some upsetting silence from a birds eye view. What hilariously lets things down is how the albino mutants are depicted as just normal humans powdered of white, which do not look so threatening at all, as if they were in the old Batman show. Those vibes. See more Keith B B @Okbullard Feb 9 It was pretty bad and not worth your time. I saw it in the 70s and couldn't remember much about it including it I liked it. Now I know, don't bother.

I Am Legend is now my favorite book, Richard Matheson is my favorite writer, and all three of the movie adaptations have stunk.

He plays Neville, a former scientist who is seemingly the last man on Earth after injecting himself with an experimental vaccine after a biological war breaks out. Spending his days hunting murderous mutants and barricading himself into an apartment at night, Neville eventually finds out there are others who are not yet infected by the biological mutation and formulates a plan to use his blood as a serum to save humankind. But he must fend off "the Family," a mutant organization aimed at eradicating any link to the past, including Neville himself. I've always enjoyed this action movie, and so I was surprised to find that some of the reviews were pretty negative at the time of release. It may not reach the heights of some classics in the genre, but I think the atmosphere of a lifeless Los Angeles is effective. The performances are solid, particularly Heston and Anthony Zerbe as the mutant leader Matthias. The central role of Neville is a great one for an actor, and all three major adaptations ("The Last Man on Earth" from 1964, this film and the 2007 "I Am Legend") provide good showcases for Vincent Price, Charlton Heston and Will Smith. So I recommend the film for its entertainment value, though some may find it dated by its 1970s stylings.
