I know this movie came out awhile ago... but what did you people think of it? I read the book before I watched the movie, and in my opinion, the movie was mediocre compared to the book. The movie in itself was all right, but in comparison to the book, it could've been better. Hahaha.

I've never seen/read it, is that the one where Will Smith is trying to get a better job so he can take care of his son?

Yes sir! If you enjoy reading, I do highly recommend the book first before you watch the movie. The movie makes sense on it's own...don't get me wrong, but the book does fill in nicely. The movie itself is based solely upon the highlight in the protangonist's life (whom Will Smith portrays) and nothing more. I personally liked the author's early childhood to young adult years the best rather than just what the movie is about.

Sounds pretty good, I'll have to go to the library soon & see if I can pick it up/order it. I like reading a lot lol, I don't get a chance to read too often though :'(

I have been wanting to see that movie. I think I would see it even if it was really bad just because I love Will Smith, lol.




I SO can't wait till I Am Legend comes out.

It's this new movie that Will Smith is coming out in where I think natural disaster hits the world or some alien invasion (one of those two...but I'm thinking the former...) and there is no one left on the planet but him. Yet...we all know there's a twist. :P I'm interested in seeing it, too...more solely because of Will Smith than the storyline. Hahaha

I'm hoping for aliens =P
Being the only person left on the world would suck.
Being the only male left on the planet would be pretty cool, but only because you get to repopulate =)

This suddenly reminds me of an anime I watched called Evangelion... the ending to the movie was so messed up...

It's based on the Richard Matheson book which is called "I Am Legend" where Will Smith plays a guy that basically has to survive in a world where everyone has turned into zombies. Atleast that's how the book goes. It's really good.

Will do. Thank you :D I recommend you read Haruki Murakami's novel South of the Border, West of the Sun for something interesting.
