I hated it. I mean, maybe the novel will be better, but as far as the film goes, they left out all the good parts—sci-fi stuff that explains the existing situation (did they have to leave out so many details in the flashbacks?) advances plot lines—and put in an extra serving of all the gross, nasty, psychotic episodes.

In fact, I don’t even know why they cast Will Smith for the part: there is absolutely nothing humorous about Robert Neville. In fact, the character of Robert Neville is at best confusing, and at worst shallow, poorly developed, and contradictory.

Anyways. I so hated losing 2 hours of sleep last night for this movie (and waking up too late), that I had to vent somewhere—and it had to be you.
