    I found it was just ok as well. I was expecting more depth in the doomsday area, being set in 2012 and all. Just sort of a journey type movie like Children of Men. Nothing that really stimulated the mind. I'd imagine it would be a good movie to do a drunken review though. Anyone notice the billboard in one of the street scenes?

    Children of Men is 10x better than I Am Legend IMO.

    I agree Children of Men was a better movie. It had a lot more suspense and had me running behind the chase. But I just felt it had an unsatisfying ending like I am Legend and left me with nothing after the movie.

    Yeah, wasn't it like a Batman & Superman movie?

    I have IAL on my netflix queue, but I have over 80 movies in queue but it may be a while.

    I saw Children of Men. I understand why you could be frustrated by the ending, but I'm slowly coming to realize that just as there are no neat, happy endings in life, why shouldn't movies reflect life? So I am starting to get infrequently bored by nice, tidy, wrapped-up-in-a-bow endings, and get some satisfaction with open-ended endings.


    Spoiler alert for Children of Men ending

    As for Children of Men, I think one could extrapolate that the ship came to pick up the pregnant girl, thus they managed to figure out why she could get pregnant, and the human race is saved. Or not.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
