The movie should be re-titled: I am Legendaryily Boring

did you see the marketing site for I am Legend that focuses on the "god still loves us" sign. It is literally at http://www.godstilllovesus.org thought you might get a kick out of it. Your last line "Manhattan, that hotbed of secular humanism" is awesome by the way.

Did anyone notice the "Batman/Superman" Movie poster in Times Square? It suggested that there will be a Batman/Superman film released in 2010.

Well Will Smith believes in God, so what would be so outragous about him playing in a movie that talks about god? I think you're missing what made this movie a B- I don't think it was the "non-sense theology" as you say, but the fact that this disease with "rabie" like symptoms turned it's victims into superhuman zombies. It was cheesy. I mean these suckers could pick Will up and toss him across the room no problem. Weren't they suppose to be sick. And I didn't mind the narraration, it was a lazy way to get it in..but I though it emphasized the lonliness and desolation of the situation. And I agree there was not enough development on those characters..it made no sense. They were just flung in there. and the butterfly was lame but it was nice to see someone actually take a risk and throw in a line or two about God. It's not somthing you see everyday. But i think The Omega Man was better. Nice line about Rudy..haha.

28 Days Later is actually inspired and partly based on the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, so IaL is not a blatant rip-off of 28 Days Later at all.
The only thing that annoyed me about the film other than the shoddy CGI, was the major glaring plot hole (although there were other smaller ones), the film went to great efforts to show the Manhattan bridges being destroyed to cut off the island from the mainland. How then I wonder, do the woman and boy get to Manhattan to save Nevilles life?
