The final word on I am Legend.

It missed the point...

And this is the last time I am going to complain about that. I have already made my case.

Cracked has already agreed with me once on this.

A well thought out exmination of the three films. Just one point from me. Wasn't the setting in a very empty/silent New York (juxtaposed with the noisy urban metropolis we know it to be) a way of building up tension in I am legend.

Whilst I knew of the Price original, I'd never seen it. The 'Heston packing' Omega Man was IMHO a true dystopian classic (as was Soylent Green).

I've probably just annoyed you now...

No those are good points. I just hope that you felt the Will Smith version would have been better with the original ending and no hugely bulked up Will Smith (and had actual vampires in it).
