OC,

Yes the Omega Man was was more true to the story, since the movie was written by the original author. The only problem that I have with the Omega Man when I watch it now is that it is very ’70’s. Also the Omega man did not rely on on special effects as did I am Legend.

Don’t get me wrong the effects were top notch and Will Smith did a good job. Not to give a way the end but the “Zombies” seemed to all of a sudden be too super human in strength and the end seemed rather flat.

Also to answer someone elses point, not all “Zombie” movies are the same. One of the best examples is 28 days later. What made that a good movie was not the Zombies but the differences between the ‘Good People’ (the guy, the girl, the teen and her farther) and the “Bad People” (the Army guys that were going crazy). Sorry I forgot everybodies name. 28 days later was more about a good story and the characters. Throw in some well done Zombies and you have a good movie that was not carried by the effects.

Funny thing though, I walked out of the movie feeling okay about it… and later being really pissed about it and feeling robbed once again by the lack of dedication to provide the best story possible. Instead, once again, they provide us with sensationalist bullisiht in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Omega Man (the movie) was more true to the original story than this movie was.

I’m just glad they had the Batman trailer in the movie, because I was nervous as hell about Heath Ledger as the Joker, but man, does it look RIPE for the plucking!

…There’s a .pdf file in rapidshare.de of the book.

well! the movie was nice i really liked the story but i think the ending wasn’t all that good and it was very short. and u know what the zombies leader at the end of the movie i think they could have made a whole story just for that guy.

Movie was way too short, could have been better. You forgot to mention the reason the zombies rocked so much, mike patton ( singer of faith no more) made all the voices and sounds for the zombies , all him! he rocks!

the movie was bad. What the hell!!! mark ur taste in movies is the worst i’ve seen so far from your reviews. no offence, but you need a movie therapist. Seriously!! I agree with you, zombies were scary, effect are stiff but story is not special. So he just triggers the bomb at the end like its some kind of chocolate bar? now what? Bye bye, wait! I still didn’t finish my pop corn. I thought he was getting somewhere dude.

the movie was good, the storyline was quite flowing, as mark said. the zombie’s were fast and i think smart too. it makes it more interesting than other movies.

The ending as K said, was too short or abrupt ! … there should have been a little more chase. maybe the going to the rescue colony in the night would have been more exciting.

The ending was too short and too quick.

Its almost like the guy was writing this great script, then his friends kept bugging him to go bowling until he just rushed the last three pages.

this was absolute rubbish, i don’t know why i even bothered with yet another will smith film but the premise sounded cool.
To whomever said there was a 5 million $ scene in the film, shit they wasted all that money bc the cgi was really crap and looked obviously fake the worst being the animals in the beginning.

Also technically they weren’t zombies bc they weren’t dead just infected and could be killed or saved with a cure. zombies are already dead (the living dead) and cannot be killed.
I love horror flicks but this wasn’t horror or adventure or anything, just another stupid hollywood action film
