Azure Prower Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Will Smith has a good track records for entertaining movies. So I'll be seeing this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ He's a good sci-fi star and a good actor when given the chance. A get the sense that this movie won't be too corny, unlike a few recent movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'd be more impressed with vampires these days if they spent less time sucking cock and more time sucking blood. I don't like you, at all. Also, I'll definitely go see it when it's out. Or download. One of the two. Will Smith will probably do a good job if he can keep typical crappy punchlines for great justice out of the picture.

Devyn Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Like Metatron, I share his hatred of vampires. Even when I was a kid, they never scared me, because they were so human-like. Also, I've done a lot of study of vampires (and other popular monsters), and the Hollywood portrayals of them are horribly inaccurate. Real vampires don't suck blood, they suck your life energy away. They don't have fangs either. They are more like a dark force that absorbs your energy so that they can keep from breaking apart. But, if you like 'em, that's okay with me.

Fritz the Cat Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 No, don't get me wrong; vampires were cool once, but then they just went gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably do have a point, but since this is a forum I REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT! EDIT: ALSO! I WILL GIVE NO REASON TO WHY I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE NOT. NOT EVEN DISCUSSING IT! YEAH!

EdgeCrusher Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Went and saw it last night at 12:45 at the new Imax theater here. First Imax movie Ive ever seen, and I thought it was really good. Hated one part of it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Spoilers, of course. Highlight to read, blah, blah, blah... Man, did they just hire the guys that did The Mummy or what? Those "vampires" were... uninspired. I expected them to start spewing locusts out of their mouths at any moment. The rest of the movie wasn't too bad. I think I heard people crying a bit when the dog died. Overall, I think it was actually pretty good. Somethings sort of stuck out, but for a guy that was stuck in a city filled with creatures trying to find and kill him every night, and being alone with only a dog and random mannequins... Will Smith did a good job. A far cry from his early acting (namely, Fresh Prince) Spoilers end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Real vampires"??? Hollywood portrayals are "inaccurate"? Vampires don't exist to begin with, so how the hell can you do a study on them? Random comic books and B-movies?

Dhsu Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Haha, I was about to say something about that, but it looks like you got it covered. I enjoyed the movie. The CG quality didn't bother me for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I thought Will Smith did a remarkably good job given the source material -- he continues to be extremely talented when he steps outside his comedic sci-fi roots (MiB, Independence Day).

Haganegiri Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Please note that Culturekoi has been blacklisted. Why are you blacklisting Culturekoi? If anything, blacklist Superhim for his racist remarks. Culturekoi was being humorous and making fun of Superhim's racist post. Anyways, It was much better than I thought it was going to be. Will Smith was top game for his acting in this. A lot of the movie focus's on him being alone with his dog, and it worked well. Him going nuts basically. I won't say anymore. But it is definitely worth a matinée showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
about:blank Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I just saw it yesterday. I thought it was great, Will Smith did a great job in his role, it was certainly an interesting departure from his norm. I'm not going to spoil anything, but for a movie that was supposed to be about zombie vampire things, it had some surprisingly emotional moments.

Effector Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Saw it last night. I enjoyed it a lot... Probably the most out of all the movies I seen this year. Well, at least in the top five. Surprisingly emotional. I wanted it to be more than just a zombie movie (something emotional), but I really didn't expect it - was pleasantly surprised. I wish the Dark Seekers' gain of intelligence had been played up more. I was glad to see The Family and Matthias from The Omega Man gone, but I would have liked a little brainier monsters. The feeling of an empty city was amazing. I didn't miss the "oh no, dreary apocalyptic city" so much. The images of nature taking back NYC were very compelling. Especially loved the idea of Neville's set schedule and routine. Preparing, hunting, testing, training. Especially a breath of fresh air after every other survival film (be it zombies, vampires, whatever) wherein the characters are mostly running from... Anyway, very good movie. Recommended.

I-n-j-i-n Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I don't think anything this year can top No Country for Old Men this year, but I'm looking forward to watching it. Sadly, all the theaters I know of were sold out of tickets. Will Smith has a crazy drawing power.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So, did anyone else notice all the "future" movies that appeared as posters and billboards in the background? Namely, the Green Lantern and the Batman and Superman ones? Someone else said they saw a live-action Teen Titans poster at the video store in a scene. Subtle hints of movies to come, or just rubbing it in our faces (seeing how those movies never came to be because of the whole death of mankind thing)?

Zombie Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I saw the movie today, and obviously, it was nothing like the book. It wasn't bad though, Will was great. The only things that annoyed me was the whole "survivors colony" thing. I dunno, It just did not fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effector Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The only things that annoyed me was the whole "survivors colony" thing. I dunno, It just did not fit. Yeah, I agree. I wonder how it would have been if the last scene had been the woman and the child just driving off? Kept the argument of the existence of the colony going even out of the theater.

I giggled to myself at the Batman-Superman movie. Didn't see the Green Lantern one. Highly doubt it's a hint, just something for comic fans to drool over. Speaking of comic books, the trailer for The Dark Knight made me excited. Looking forward to that interpretation of The Joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The Green Lantern movie is scheduled for 2010, which makes me think a World's Finest movie is actually in the works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono26 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 6 MINS OF BATMAN!!!!! was better than all of I am legend... not a bad movie at all though. i thought the pacing was kind of weird. when the climax came it didnt feel like it was the right time. but good movie. looked awesome in imax.

Ser371 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I got a sneak preview of the movie a while back, kinda liked it, kinda didn't, but I also missed out on the Batman promo because it was an early screening. Not that anyone gives half a damn, but I wrote a review of it. http://www.forcbyc.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 "Real vampires"??? Hollywood portrayals are "inaccurate"? Vampires don't exist to begin with, so how the hell can you do a study on them? Random comic books and B-movies? Who decides what the 'accurate' portrayal is? No, you can study them. They have been horribly mis-represented by American pop-culture (you can blame the Brits for this too). Americans don't even know what they really are. I research paranormal phenomena, it's something I've done for ten years now, and whether they are real are not, Hollywood's portrayal is a far cry from that of the original vampire. Also, don't be so quick to dismiss things as non-existent. But that's a PPR-type thing, and I'll try to keep from going too far here.

The Author Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Also, don't be so quick to dismiss things as non-existent. Like invisible bedroom elves. They are tiny, quick, invisible and crafty. In fact, the fact that you cannot see them proves their existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
