Re: The GD Movie Archive

The problem i have with the film is this:

In the book the main character is trying to find a cure to the vampirism. However, he also goes around exterminating the vampires. In the film the only reason Smith's character killed was as a by product of trying to save humanity. In the film the vampires remain mere animals. In the book the vampires have set up a society and are actually "just real people". As such it's the main character who is the monster (because he goes round killing all these people). This is where the book gets it's title from "I am Legend". In the book the main character becomes the horror story, the legend, that little vampires will be told by their parents to frighten them into obedience. In the film Smith becomes a legend because he finds a cure.

As such what once was a dark story which flipped the horror genre on its head just becomes another bullshit feel good movie with action in it.

As such it sucked.
