Customer Rating:      Summary: I Am Legend Comment: This was an interesting movie. Not exactly one of Will Smith's best, but a very interesting one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Some Nice Touches in a Modern Update Comment: I went into this movie with mixed feelings. I am a big fan of the original Charlton Heston version The Omega Man [Blu-ray] And I am an even bigger fan of the book I Am Legend
If you just take it as a movie it is an average movie and most of the stuff was acceptable hollywood fun. But there are two things about this movie that make it just a little bit special:
Peppered through Will Smith's Mansion are some actual Van Gogh Paintings. I mean the real thing. I read that they actually got to use the real ones in the movie. The camera, director, actors, don't focus on the paintings. They are just there - and they are absolutely magnificent. You can't help but be drawn to them.
And they are there in the movie for a reason. The movie is all about the potential end of humanity and the pictures say (without uttering a word) that humanity, is sometimes capable of a beauty that goes beyond words. Breathtaking.
Also, Will Smith launches into a little soliloquy about Bob Marley that comes very close to the same effect. It will choke you up even if you never heard a single Bob Marley song.
Because they are so different it is almost a contradiction to use Bob Marley and Vincent Van Gogh in the same movie as examples but that is the beauty of humanity.
Customer Rating:      Summary: DVD unplayable, damaged HD-DVD player Comment: Fresh out of the package, never before played, this HD-DVD pixeleated, skipped and threw my HD-DVD player into an error code and worse yet my HD-DVD player became locled and unrespondant.
NOT Satisied.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I Am Legend Comment: I watched the "Omega Man" years ago and loved it. I was aprehensive to watch the new remake. I can tell you I like the effects in the new movie. There are some twists and turns I was not expecting in "I Am Legend" and some tear gerking moments that were not present in the old movie. Overall I liked "I Am Legend", was a bit disapointed in the ending. Entertaining, what else do you want in a movie. I'll watch it again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I Am Legend on HD-DVD!! Comment: I have to admit I was a bit scared when the war of HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray came to a halt with Blu-Ray being the winner. But there are still good HD-DVD movies available out there, and this is one of them for sure! Has the original movie that was in theatres, and the alternate version! You get great sound, and a FABULOUS picture on your High Def TV. This is an item that you shouldn't pass up!
