    Looks as if it's trying hard for that Fast & Furious audience.

    Somebody remind me: Has Will Smith been in a good-to-great movie in the last 20 years?
    Looking it up, in the past 20 years, I thought that Hitch and Gemini Man were pretty good, and I personally feel that I Am Legend is a genuinely phenomenal movie, and seriously underrated.

    Also didn’t mind Hancock, After Earth, or MIB3, though I’m not sure I’d concede to any of those necessarily being all too great, even if I did personally enjoy them all the same. But yeah, his track record in the past 20 years really isn’t that great.

    After that, I Am Legend should have been fantastic. Should have been.
    Literally wrote my post before even reading this, lol. As I said, underrated.

    I don’t understand how Matheson’s book has been adapted 3+ times, and never done properly.

    Not one of these adaptations seemed to understand the message of the book, and changing its ending the way they did in the Smith version was face palm worthy.

    I’ve never had an issue with its ending. *shrug*

    All the movies mentioned are terrible and I fully echo meg's feelings about I Am Legend adaptations. At least one of them has Vincent Price and Omega Man is campy fun. Smith's is the worst.

    I'm looking at IMDb now and, honestly, his last hit was really Men in Black back in 1997. Ali I think was kind of good but it certainly didn't stick in my mind.

    91% so far!!! Will no doubt go down, but still. Pretty happy as the directors are Belgians!
