Went to see I Am Legend last night with doseybat and timeplease. This is another playing-it-straight zombie movie, and apparently not bearing very much resemblance to the source material.

Not sure what to make of it. I liked the details (Neville's competence at surviving - lots of cool little details there - versus his increasingly deranged state; the deserted New York; the flashbacks to the evacuation), but not the film as a whole. In particular, it would have been a better film without the last scene, leaving it more ambiguous.

Violence was relatively tame. I can see how some of the deserted-NY shots could be thought to be a bit creepy, but those were shot in a matter-of-fact way rather than for suspense.

The time he goes into the dark building, before you actually see anything? That was pretty creepy.
