What a weird name for a movie... but still a Will Smith starrer with such a weird title would have a lot of expectations. Guys guys... that dude is a great actor... everybody loved him in "The pursuit of happYness". I did too and he almost made me cry with his exceptional performance. So here we were.. got the front row tickets about 5 metres from the screen gonna watch the legend movie!!
The movie opens with a news clip showing a mad scientist boasting of finding a cure to cancer by "reprogramming a virus" (how lame could that be... but wait the movie gets lamer every minute)... haan so where were we... yeah she grins all the time expecting a Nobel for her miracle virus. Fast forward 3 years... every human is dead except for our MAN... Willy is the only dude alive on this planet !!!!
He drives around in an extra shiny '07 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500... WOW what a ride !! He uses it to hunt deers/antelopes/lamas/camels/etc on the streets of Manhattan Island, er which now is a jungle ... hmm lame ?? yeah it is. But our dude aint that good in shootin n drivin at the same time... I was praying that he doesnt bang tht God of a car into some tree !! Well, the loser doesnt kill any deer and decides to starve for the day!!
It appears that the cancer cure virus mutated and killed everyone and the survivors turned to some nocturnal zombies who feed on those who are alive... yuck!!
Our dude somehow is immune and he also doubles up as a Bio-hazard scientist who is hellbent at finding a cure and save the planet!! The entire movie was a dud... it was like rolling "Cast Away" and "Resident Evil" into one single movie :-(
I was so disappointed to see an actor of Willy's calibre being wasted over a lame sci-fi movie !! The only good things in the movie were the Ford Mustang, Will's M-16 rifle and his bitch.. er i mean the real female dog. The critter was a damn good actor. The movie ends with the line "blah blah blah... blah blah blah...more blah blah blah... and this is his legend" and u feel like cryin out loud "I am MORON" !!!
Hmmm but what if you were in his position... unleashed in a city all alone among wild animals, zombies, a ford mustang, an assault rifle and a bitch to help you out... wouldnt that be fun ?? huh ??

Now thats what i call a killer review.
Dude u rock. I liked it .. definitely linking it at my site Sanity, Insanity and Moi
Thanx for the warning..was planning to watch it..now will wait till its shown on HBO/AXN
PUHLEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEEEE!!!
I LOVED THE MOVIE!!
it has been remade 3 times.. its a box office block buster and a best seller book!!!!
the idea was novel.. and entertaining too.. i dono y u didnt like it
escaped the assault thanks to sacrifices made by u ppl.. nd as it seems the so called legend is predominantly shit.. so lets change the focus from shit to something brilliant... yup, taare zameen par..
when u talk abt good movies they hav instances wher they wander briefly.. mighty briefly.. maybe a song, a comedy sequence or watever.. but couldn't find nething like that in tzp.. captivating throughout .. kudos to aamir on his directorial debut..
We all know abt aamir the actor, no surprises on that part.. but hw cud he extract such a performance from that kid!!! Darsheel safary has done an al pacino.. u can't recognise the actor from the character.. havn't seen many kids so expressive with their eyes.. you cud c the colors through them, nd so his pain.. wow!!
aamir the director was a pleasant surprise.. he was intent on capturing the world through young ishaan's eyes.. nd has done it brilliantly.. the way aamir uses that chinese toy-box to tell Ishaan's problem to his dad lingers in ur mind.. nd it has a message to all parents, not to keep pushing their kids to improbable targets.. As aamir says to the principal, “Ishaan just has to score passing marks, his destiny lies elsewhere.”
i'm not betting this wud make up for aamir's previous oscar disappointment, but the class is up there.. my eyes were moist by the time i got out from the theatre.. bet many wud hav battled hard to check their tears...
Ghosty!! Hello!!! :)
Ur review conveys the same sentiment which I have heard from others.
But the part of ur post which I liked most was - "The only good things in the movie were the Ford Mustang, Will's M-16 rifle and his bitch.. er i mean the real female dog ."
Found this part very hilarious. LoL!!!
Was it that bad, I refused to watch it with a friend who was very stubborn about going to the will smith movie. Me, on the other hand wanted to watch kaalai by simbhu. Ticket woman says, ' Kyaalai has a sound issue, it’s a minute late to the visuals’. The man (my friend) has a lit up face, when I look at him(thinking of ‘I am legend’). I went back to the ticket lady and say, How about Bheema?
I never heard the end of it. Bheema turned out to the biggest of disappointments in my life.
