That was when cars on the lot actually had gasoline in them? I bet those were good times....back then rental companies probably gave you a full tank of gas standard as well.
Anything I said won't ruin the movie--not just because the movie was so bad that it can't be further tarnished--but because the course is obvious, and the good parts of the movie have nothing to do with what I mentioned. (unless you're one of the crowd who thought will smith exercising was a good point....)
Even if there had been a "Warning: Spoiler" tag in the thread, something still would have been seen...and when you elect to see the movie, you'll realize that they aren't true spoilers at all. Carlos Mencia had a rant about how the ending of the movie doesn't matter so much as how it gets there. That is true enough--the Journey is always more important than the destination.
(**if ya'll are gonna quote kenny rogers, whoever the heck that may be--ad nauseum--then I can quote mencia
)
I hear from those that saw it that the Omega Man version was far superior. B-rate 70s movies are almost always good. Star Wars, Billy Jack, Death Race 2000, Dirty Harry, The Driver.....and we all know that remakes are most often inferior.
Though I am glad that the movie deviated from the book, as in the book the mutants were more vampiric, and there was importance to the mutant leader's girl......a combination of Blade and children of men. (2 movies which started out with potential, and then failed...imo)
This movie was a first for me though--a movie which received atrocious critic reviews truly was bad. Rush Hour 3, for example, was "awarded" a 1/10 by the same local critic who gave I am Legend a 1/10. Rush Hour 3 was hilariously great.....I am legend was laughably bad...until I realized that I spent 6.25 to see the movie. Where did you see a 5 dollar matinee? Perhaps the movie was better for you as you spent less to suffer through it?
EDIT-
More Good Points:
)Maryland was Represented
)NYC died while Rent was on broadway
)Superman versus Batman was made into a movie (a laugh)
)The USS Blackbird was featured
)Will was hoist by his own petard
)4WD and Push Bars were shown in their full glory.
You know, what happened to movies having stuff after the credits? It seemed like they always did, and now they never do
