Ahhh - now I liked Transformers - simple, cheesy, trashy entertainment that didn't require a brain cell.

I am Legend was very good in parts, the suspense was built up well and the dog was a great actor ... but the 'monsters' again were a let down - I personally think they would have been better done with real actors and good make-up/prosthetics than the poor CGI effort that was little more than run of the mill.
The main 'antagonist' constantly seemed like he was trying to take off Arnold Vosloo's screaming from 'The Mummy'.

Charlie Wilson's War and In the Valley of Elah - now those are two supurb films that I've seen recently.

K it sounds like you have similar taste in films as me - I loved Transformers cos it appealed to the big kid in me, but I Am Legend was pretty poor, the monsters were laughable at best & some of the other CGI looked like it belonged in a Playstation game.

I urge everyone to watch No Country For Old Men - superb film

Will Smith should hang his head in shame!

Know, the writers should hang there heads in shame. In fact they all should. With everybodies wages in the film industry rising to ridicoulous 6 figure sums, no wonder there are no decent films coming through at the moment. Everybody is to intereted in lining their pockets than taking an interest in actually what makes a good film worth wacthing.

Now I've looked forward to this film, and I enjoyed it.

Finally someone has decided to do something new with Movies and give a fresh approach to a suspense situation. I get annoyed when people say oh there weren't many aliens in 'Signs', I think you missed the point of the movie.

If you want a Monster movie watch Crapzilla. You want a movie that looks into everyday people dealing with crisis, this is a good contender.

I loved everything about I am Legend, all except the shocking CGI effects and crap ending.

Though these two films are excellent when compared to some of the complete trash that sits on the shelf.....The Break Up. Could of guessed what happens from the title thanks.

Agree on the 'Formers - top film, wish I could justify the £80 for the Ultimate Bumblebee toy

I am Legend - not too bad - serious story element re-writes, but then thats stock for a film of a book these days.

I LOVED the bit with the Zombie-Dogs being held back by a vanishing line of sunlight - VERY well done that bit

What he said, but then, I like films about isolation and the end of the world/fall of civilization

I thought I am Legend was a quality film, how can people say it was an abrupt ending when the star of the film is dead, it made sense, it fitted together, i thought it was good

Cloverfield made people sick apparently with the constant camera moving...
