I'm going to see this movie over the weekend. Did anyone see it already? Is it as good as it looks?

It looks interesting for sure, and the reviews I've heard make it sound good, and Will Smith is a good actor, so I am eager to find out what it is like.

The book is a classic, but Will Smith?! For the love of god! Its one I'll be avoiding like the plague. Obviously a kind of vampiric/mutant-like plague.
I'd rather watch the Omega man again.

I want to go see it, but the wife won't go with me, so it may be awhile before I find the time to go.

I'm sort of in the same boat. For me its that I have to find a sitter that I trust enough to leave the baby with so her father and I can slip away for a few hours, and that wont be until Christmas...I'm really hoping its still in theaters then.

Agreed completely.

Amazing book and may be a decent movie, but Will Smith has no business in it.

That's what I was wondering.

So, another movie based on an old book. I hear however some people got in a tiffy because Will Smith 'blew the ending'. How can you blow the ending of something that plenty of people have already read? My bet is the movie has been altered from the book, must be quite an alter though for the ending to be ruined.

Probably the dreaded memories of Bel Air.

It is pretty funny sometimes.

I think it will make a good movie. Will Smith is a good actor, I don't see how anyone could really hold anything against him.

hes BLACK!

not racist.

Actually his race has a big problem with him playing the part.

I read the book, and from the characteristic of Robert Neville stroking his blond hair it's inaccurate ( unless they put a wig on Will Smith and painted his face white ), not to mention the movie trailers seem to depict it to the current time-frame (If you haven't seen the trailer, it has the militia in current uniforms, the digital patterns as well as very high tech. looking fighter jets crashing into a bridge ) rather then in the middle 1970's. I will see it tomorrow regardless.

Hopefully the third attempt will be good....my dad loved the book.

I don't think a movie like this would do as well if it was set in the 1970's (I don't know much about it to be honest but it strikes me as the science-fiction type of movie that occurs in the not-so-distant future. ) Secondly, just because he doesn't fit the original character as far as physical description is concerned doesn't mean he will have a completely different personality as well. It could still hold true to the book in a lot of other ways.

I got the comic and it's really good, a little wordy, but good.
