Why don't they just build on the world that already exists? Is it really that hard to come up with a decent plot?

The movie is great until the monsters show up. It would've been better to make them vampires or something else than cgi "nightstalkers" and it loses what made the story dope. You could've made them practical and it would've felt a lot better than that terrible CGI they threw up on the screen. And I know you said don't throw the book thing at you but I'm going to have to on this one point: What made the story so dope, is the idea of a new society being developed and this one guy being the holdout from an old society. He is now the monster, he is now the creature that goes bump in the night, the one the kids are afraid of and hear all these stories about because he goes around during the day and kills them in their sleep.
On point. That's what made the book ending so dope, the moment he realizes all that, that he's become literally a boogie man/ghost story figure, and that life as he knew it no longer exists had me :ohhh: & :mjcry: for him

Yup. Completely flips the story on its ear and makes you realize that maybe it is time for him to go

All those complaining about the ending, should watch the alternate version, which has the ending that makes the most sense.


And from the video, the script is entirely different. It's an original movie, they just want to attach the I Am Legend brand to it to sell. Which makes no fukking sense, since people went to see it for Will Smith vs monsters, not because of the name.
