They don't sleep in coffins and hate garlic and he doesn't drive stakes through their hearts to kill them. So they were not what people would typically think of vampires at all.

They were cannibalistic and primitive devolved humans.
Or they did a piss poor job of making it into a movie because someone like myself who hasn't read the box are going to get the opinion that 1. There were just mutated humans or 2. They failed to explain they are Vampires.
So the creatures from The Descent are Vampires also? Because
these creatures as similar to the ones in I Am Legend.

And I don't see the point of bringing The Descent into all of this. The Descent hardly had any similarities to vampires.
Just got back. Alot of people hype this film up to be scary. It's not that scary, well few jump scenes here and there but no horror. SUSPENSE! Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Not too much action but enough, this is a suspense film. I thought it was great although it was too short, didn't reach the 2hour mark. Definately worth a watch at the theater. 4 1/2 out of 5 for me. Go see it!

I don't remember vampire bats in the book... if you had read the book you would have found that it wasn't all cliche and it turned a lot of things on its head when it came to the crosses/garlic etc.As for the film, it was a waste of what could have been an excellent film. They ruined the ending.
What i saw about the vampire bats was that Neville in the book thought he was immune because he was bitten by a vampire bat, but that's just what I read online, could be wrong.
Ah I thought you meant changing into bats etc and silly things like that. Yes there is a part in the book where he mentions bitten by a bat, and also a part where he says one of the 'vampires' is dumb because he is trying to jump in the air and fly like a bat. Something like that.
The Omega Man is a 'homage' to the novel, not exactly like it, but at least it was not under the same name.
Will Smith's acting seems too predictable to me. I will be seeing this movie on Boxing Day, however, I can already see Will Smiths one dimensional character completely destroying the complex character of Neville.
Neville is supposed to be an average man, not some Dr marine with infinite amount of scientific knowledge.
Although, the movie may be good, ie, may be entertaining.
Holywood-isation of a classic was never successful, as it in almost all cases, downplayed the story, simplified its characters and either relied the whole movie on famous actors, or CGI.

I thought Will Smith did an excellent job. One of the highlights of the movie, actually.

As of today. I Am Legend has only made...$137.4 million and a total of $157.2 million worldwide. Smith fell a whopping 56% in its second week of release. I Am Legend has not lived up to expectations as it must pick up the pace if it expects to become a hit.

I don't. I thought he was horrible, the lady was plausible, but not great. Don't get me wrong though, the man can act, it just wasn't one of his better performances.
