"He expects a dog to have a concept of time. Or understand what he said" That dog was family to him and he'd been alone for 3 years,I'd start talking to an animal like that too
Funny thing Is some trained dogs actually have a sense of time...like sheperd dogs😂 so yeah, the guy making this video has no clue about most of the things he says
how did you miss the biggest sin of this movie. he goes to bed completely locked down and wakes up with sunlight shinning through the widows as if he never closed the metal doors
meinefressekeineahnung wieichdenkackkanalnennensoll you obviously didn’t get it. He looked at the photo of his family before sacrificing himself. He wanted to be with them
The dog dying is double sad because his daughter handed the puppy to him and told the dog to "protect daddy" as they were leaving in the helicopter. It's the last part of his child in a way and now that's been taken from him as well 😭
In the book, the dog was not his at first, he saw him around his property and realised he was not infected, spent ages trying to gain his trust and then the dog stopped showing up. Eventually he found the dog again, realised he had now become infected, gave him the cure he had been working on and the chapter ends with one short line: "Two week's later, the dog died". It was a true gut punch in the book. he finally found something that was not infected, he obsessed over it as the most important thing ever,, his heart broken to find out the dog was now infected, he worked hard to be able to get to the dog, subdue it, give it the cure and realise it did not work. One of the best chapters I have read in any book, completely undermined by this movie.
5:58 You don't tell a dog "I'll be back soon" because the dog understands the words, but because he understands the calming tone. Also being the last human alive for hundreds of miles, it's an understandable trait for the character. Just like rewinding and returning videotapes. It creates a sense of normalcy that helps prevent going insane.
@@Fredcat11 but the helicopter was not destroyed by a missile that the army used to destroy the bridges. It was destroyed by another helicopter as its pilot lost control and crashed right into his family's helicopter.
Its 2020, I thought it had been long enough, but hearing the scene with Will yelling "No no no!!" after his dog, BROKE MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN I WASNT READY.
6:58 the soldiers drawing their weapons on eachother is actually a small but genius part of the writing that I believe is there intentionally. It shows the chaos and confusion of duty during a situation like this. One military detail has been assigned to protect Col Neville while the other has been assigned to stop anyone with possible symptoms from going across. Which is why when he tried to pull his wife over, the first soldiers drew their weapons on him and out of their duty to protect Col Neville, his security detail pulled their weapons in response.
Ghosteriz no its not because of that woman. As you can see his dog dies first because the leader of zombies retaliated by making a trap for will smith... leading to the dog's death... then will got deppressed and tried to kill himself and the woman saved him.... shame that it was still dark we they got home and the zombies followed them there. Thus give the zombies knowledge of where humans hide. get it?
Movie Sin 39: He has that dog since it was a baby. You wouldn't just let your dog die that your dead child loved. That's kinda like saying:''your dad or the only living thing that loves you ran away? Just find another one.''
And he had been there after the outbreak for years at that point, i think he would've came across another one if there was one. But we did see that the darkseekers had their own dogs, maybe that ate or turned most of the dogs just wondering about.
@@chrisreaves6399 The dark seekers had their own INFECTED dogs but actual dogs are VERY rare you see dogs are only immune to the airborne virus but not the contact one like humans and if you remember there were only 1% from 6.4B people that were immune so to find a uninfected dog will he close to impossible If im correct the percentage of uninfected dogs at the start of the breakout is around 0.5% so pretty slim P.s.:Dogs were the first to be infected you can see that on a poster from the house that Neville entered The poster said: Infected dogs appear at dawn Stay in the light
he did really well with the whole kinda losing it thing. But honestly, while this is far from an amazing movie, its the best film adaptation we have by far and the book is truly amazing
@@tacomas9602 I also read the book. Honestly, the book and movie are so vastly different from each other that I consider them separate entities. The overlap was extremely small, and the movie completely missed the point of the title, especially by not going with the alternate ending. I still enjoyed both quite a bit.
"Movie predicts Batman V Superman 8 years before its release, but is unable to stop it from happening." Thank you for making me spit my drink all over my phone Cinemasins
You should watch the alternate ending. That will make a lot of sense as the creatures show signs of human like emotions. The zombie he captured was the gf/wife of the alpha zombie. He didn't care about Neville until his gf got kidnapped. The last scene shows Neville giving the girl zombie back to alpha and alpha sparing his life. This alternative ending could've cut more than 10 sin points.
BONUS SINS: In the original book, Neville does a ton more killing than healing (hence the genocide pictures in his basement), and in the final scene (where he blows up the infected with a grenade) instead he is brought into their society and executed by them, showcasing that he was in fact the monster, instead of the infected, and solidifying the name of the movie and book with this final line: "[I am] a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever. I am legend." Neville was supposed to be tradition that ended evolution, and was a commentary on how time marches on, and what was once noble and righteous can become twisted and evil, even if the actions have not changed. This movie not only destroyed that point, but turned Neville into a martyr instead of allowing the audience to understand that even with good intentions, evil can be created Ding.
It's basically the idea that ever hero is the villains villain. The infected are a whole new species that are coming into their own and building an actual hierarchy and society. Kind of a flip on the "we are the aliens" idea.
@Jules Dalton a tightass feminist? Dead memes? Did you have a stroke or are you just making this up in your imagination? I don't know what I've said to make you think either of those things 😂
You missed the fact that when he sacrificed himself so the women and boy could stay in the little bunker untill daylight well wouldn’t the zombies still stay in there during the day? Making it impossible to get back out of the bunker without being killed?
Thats why he said they wouldn’t stop if he went with them, the leader/alpha had them out for revenge because he kidnapped the woman, if he hid they would keep looking until they killed him, so he sacrifices himself, that way he could for sure take out the leader and the others would likly return to there dens as they achieved there goal and nolonger were taking orders
The biggest sin is that you keep referring to the creatures as "Zombies" when they are in fact Vampires...hence their aversion and damage from sunlight. It is also referenced in the book that they are in fact Vampires.
Not really, how is going to be able to afford all that stuff, indeed, why would he when he has all the lab tech he needs at his job. A computer at home perhaps but a family man isn't working home and away
@@Gobtik Choosing to work from the lab at his home was done for the same reason *why the dog was so important to him: His house was sentimental to him because it's a place that had memories with his wife and daughter. It's where he lived with his family before they died. He still had their pictures up in the house, and his daughter's room was just as she left it before she died. *His daughter gave him the dog "to protect him" minutes before she died.
I’ve been laughing nonstop at “Here lies our friend Fred. He got shot in the head and now he’s dead.” and “She probably heard about what you did to Fred” for 10 minutes
missed out the biggest flaw, about the ending where he sacrifices himself when he could have just thrown the grenade before crawling into the safe that had plenty of room
+ Admiral 137 So? It's not the ending they went with for the theatrical release. Alternate endings don't count, if anything its just proof of why the ending they threw together for more rating appeal was bad.
Luke Dias The alternate ending was a way of keeping Will Smith's character in the story so there could be a sequel. Because you don't go and make Will Smith the protagonist and then NOT have him in the sequel (Independence Day Resurgence) But in all seriousness, movies take plenty of liberties when it comes to taking a novel to the silver screen. Even though the idea that they weren't just mindless zombies is somewhat refreshing, it didn't jive with people so oh well, there goes that IP.
The biggest sin is the ending. The alt ending shows that the zombie Neville captured and 'cured' earlier on is in fact the Alpha female. The alpha male is only trying to get her back, showing that the zombies are not mindless, but are an organised subspecies of humanity. Furthermore, the fact that he has killed hundreds of their kind makes HIM the monster, not the zombies. A brilliant twist, but sadly we had to go for "Zombies are evil, lets kill them indiscriminately."
Uhhh, it's possible Neville had a laboratory downstairs...I mean, wasn't it his house before the whole apocalypse thing. He's a world-famous scentist no? Why can't he have a lab downstairs?
because that lab was specailised with anti zombi disease atuff only which he wouldn't be able to get unless he knew the zombi apocolypse would happen before it does
Well, they did know about the disease before it actually spread by becoming airborne and the military could have stocked him up with plenty of possible cures before the apocalypse happened.
Depends on how you see it. It probably does deserve the sin, even though its a sad moment where it basically showed he was alone for 3 years and had no one to talked to so to stimulate human contact he kept watching movies. But if he knows every single dialogue from shrek then it suggests that he mostly watched shrek which is a sin cuz he could watch any movie he wanted.
I remember one of the most heartbreaking scenes was when after sam died and he was at the woman’s house he went up to the bathroom and sat in the bathtub the same way he would sit in it to wash sam 😢
Maquian Johnson - this movies probably has the best relationship development between him and the dog of any other movie I’ve ever seen! Even the cheesy ones. Especially with the minimal dialog
I always figured the house he was living in was his house from before. The lab in the basement was already there before the outbreak because he is a scientist.
Slippery Storm what do you mean by that sarcastic response? O.o implying he wouldn't be able to? For one he's a fucking scientist and they make more than a pretty penny, especially with his talent and likely his "rank". Shut up, ignorant turkey.
I liked this movie for a while and liked it even more when I saw the alternate ending, but after hearing what the book was really about, they never explained what the title means. Apparently he is legend amongst the infected, because to them, he is the boogie man he takes them while they sleep. That's such an interesting concept.
In the book some rando average guy is the last man surviving a vampire (not zombie) pandemic, is more depressed than cool as post apocalypse dude, the dog he only finds halfway through the storyline, he doesnt have a ficking huge ass lab but figured sh*t out by being surrounded by it for ages, the "alive" woman he met was actually a vampire, oh and the ending is him realizing that while the vampires were monsters to him, he was a monster in their view
Yep, the entire concept of the book was thought provoking and a fairly original concept, and each time it has been adapted, it has been dumbed down for audiences to just another Vampire/Zombie flick. Just a complete waste of time on what is an amazing book and unique idea.
Me: When a random human dies in a movie: meh When a random, clearly inexperienced human dies in a movie: Nuuuuuuu When a villainous, clearly inexperienced human dies in a movie: Nuuuuuuu When a dog dies in a movie: How could you?!?!? When a cat dies in a movie: Whatever When any ferocious animal that can be domesticated dies: NOOOOOOO
If he wanted normality in his daily routine, then like the narrator says, why aren't there any reruns of Frasier instead of the grim reality of apocalypse?
I concur, but unfortunately Cinema Sins tries their best to not sin based on the original material. They have done it a couple times before, but rarely.
But the original ending is in the DVD, they just decided to use the stupid one. In the other ending, Smith's character Neville realizes that these creatures DO have some humanity left and the reason they're attacking is because the alpha male is looking for the girl creature that Neville captured. He lets her go and the creatures leave. In our ending, he blows them all up AND himself because.......idk, Michael Bay took over for a second or something.
just saying, the creatures in I Am Legend were "supposed" to be vampires, not zombies. that's why they are called "hemocytes", which, I accept your literal translation as true. I guess they were trying to be clever by working "blood" into the name. spoiler alert and in the ending of the actual book, it is revealed they still retained their intelligence and their sentience and had created their own society. when Neville was going around in the day, killing them, they started to imagine him as a monster. most of them had never seen him and would create myths and stories about this monster that stalks them by day and murders them. when they finally capture him, they put him on trial for what he did and sentence him to death and only then does he realize that this world no longer has a place for humans. the vampires were now the dominant species on earth and the humans were all but extinct, except for Neville. and Neville would die now, becoming nothing but ....A Legend. hence the name , I Am Legend
well... vampires arn't real and their rules and lore change with every book and movie. so to assume they NEED blood is kinda.. ya. vamps get written the way the writers want. the way its always been, the way it always will be.
+Screwy No but I would think the original ending of the movie would matter. They only changed the ending because test audience didn't like it (proving once again that test audience are stupid).
Holy crap! You're 100% correct brother. I've been calling them "cold water heaters" for fifty years because, that's what they do....heat cold water. I like the way your mind works. You're the FIRST person I've ever encountered who gets it. It's kinda like.... You can't race a car on a DRIVEWAY, but you can drive like hell on a PARKWAY. Yup, great minds do think alike.
2:15 - Dr. Neville didn't record a bunch of news because he knew he would one day be the last person in the world and would want to watch old newscasts for clues about the apocalypse. The TCR scrawled across the screen in the videos means Time Code Reading, which is used in editing videos before they are broadcast, the videos most likely came from the news station's own video library . . . which makes perfect sense3:15 - He didn't "confiscate the Brownstone", he lived in it before the apocalypse . . . notice his daughter's bedroom, with all her stuff still in it. Also, in the first flashback scene he pulls up in front of the Washington Square Arch (the same one that is shown getting blown to shit when the vampires attack his home), and meets his family coming down the stairs of that same house. Also, he is a military virologist so even if he didn't have that lab in his basement to begin with, he certainly had access to everything he would need to build said lab 4:06 - did you not watch the flashback scenes? The military blew up the bridges as part of their quarantine attempt, it was actually what was responsible for the helicopter crash that killed his family, kind of an important plot point, pay attention 8:40 - that wasn't a flashback, that was Anna driving him away from the pier
Also: •the trap was heavily implied to have been set up by Robert, but used against him by the Darkseekers •he didn't get a new dog because his daughter gave him Sam •the thing about Darkseekers being completely inhuman was Robert being in denial, you could tell by his look
+Jake Theberge no, it's an alternate ending. a deleted scene fits in with the rest. an alternative ending replaces a scene. they cannot both be present
1:01 - That looks like clear tarp. Probably from a construction/remodeling project on that building. 1:24 - He could've moved the cars himself for access.
Agreed! Seriously, if my baby Blue was in danger, I wouldn't think, I would RUN, and fuck everyone and everything else (and yes, that includes my own safety)
@@dgerdi That's a great comment, and so true. A dog would (and has, over and over and over again, throughout history) die for their owner, without thinking of their own safety
Monster Gonzo yup coward, I don’t understand how you could live a shameless life knowing that you abandoned your family, you can live like shit after leaving the last of your family for your own miserable life
MrDEA666 - In some cases, but not all. I practiced tough love with mine, and my old girl would hold out 6 days before eating things she didn't like. So, it's not a learned thing. Some dogs are just particular.
+somany5 Complete opposite. The same reason we cut infected limbs off is to stop the infected blood from flowing to the rest of the body. In a big city surrounded by many bridges connecting to the rest of the world, you cut off all simple routes of escape in order to prevent any of these vampire zombie mutants from getting to the rest of the world.
+somany5 Not really. If they weren't aware it was airborne at the time, it'd make sense to get rid of the bridge so infected wouldn't cross over it (and hopeing they couldn't swim and could still drown if they attempted to cross by water). Makes perfect sense under the circumstances, honestly.
2:13 I’m sure it’s been pointed out but the time overlay on the news reels he’s watching indicate that it’s probably archived/indexed “raw footage”. Meaning it’s likely that he went to the studio and retrieved these recordings. And we don’t have to wonder if he’s the type of person to do this... based upon everything that he has and the amount of time he’s been combing the city, and with his research with making the cure, it’s not unlikely that he would want to know if there were any known indicators or signs as to what went wrong and when people first realized it. And while, you could argue that the news isn’t the best place to do this, I think watching the news is a bit of a cathartic experience for him. Like it reminds him of the time before this, or makes the atmosphere feel matter-of-fact and normal. Meaning it makes sense both his viewing the footage (imagine how much news coverage this story (curing cancer) would have gotten... I’m sure he has thousands of hours of footage from several different NY-based stations.
neither the alt ending hints at the book ending, but the alt ending was actually shot and is part of the dvd extras. The book ending is that the hemocytes actually have a developed society and Dr. Neville has become a "daywalker" a creature of myth that hunts them in the light of day... a legend Edit: added what the book ending was
Hena pena the movie was made by an American studio and was advertised for Americans so why place it in a place most people won't recognize and have no connection to? Everyone knows about New York and everyone can spot out the landmarks of new York so they will use US cities because it works. Don't fix something that ain't broken.
I always thought Fred's head moved to the side when they zoom in on him, 7:20 check it out. Also, "Dammit woman, I told you to drive around until light, they don't know where I live!"
The biggest sin is that they changed the movie so much from the book that the title doesn't even make sense anymore. In the book, Neville goes through the city systematically killing the zombies on purpose until they catch him, at which point he realizes that they fear him, like a boogeyman. He will be their legend forever. They will tell their children, "Be good, stay in bed, or Robert Neville will get you."
+Gardevoir And they said he can find another dog just let the ONE HE HAS BEEN WITH SINCE IT WAS LITTLE GO AND DIE man wtf cinema sins this why i dont like half the shit yall say...talking evil after i just watched the one you did on lucy - via YTPak(.com)
The covering over the buildings(to contain the virus in the building) is a reflection on how frightened and desperate society would be in the face such a horrific outbreak. The soldiers drew their weapons towatds each other because they were frightened and on edge, because they were torn between duty and a natural desire to desert and go home to their families and friends during a terrifying and unprecedented crisis. The dog hearing the infected outside the house would certainly bark causing the infected to possibly investigate neville's home(a clear plot hole).He doesn't get another dog because like most dog owners he loves her and considers her family and they may not be as common as you think, domestic animals would easy picking for the infected.The bridges and tunnels were destroyed by the military to quarintine the city.(no shit?) The infected sleep standing up, Why? probably to make them even creepier and less human. In "The Omega Man" (1971) the infected were far more sofisticated. The infected set up the trap that caught neville, so the infected are barely human yet still intelligent. When Neville says he's not going to let this happen to anna, he's talking about the total extinction of humanity, he correctly believes there's still time to save our species. Anna believes the colony exists for the similar reasons neville doesn't, she needs it to be there for hope, he needs it not to be there for hope, so he can stay on his purpose in new york to find a cure. If he believed there were a colony of people just a couple of hundred miles away he might be tempted to leave it all behind and go there to join them. Neville talks the infected near the end probably for the same reasons buildings were covered in plastic: fear, desperation, an irrational attempt to fix a horrific problem.
I cried so hard when the dog dies because she looked just like my dog. She has passed away now. Rest in peace Lucy. (I don't mean to upset anyone) She was a lovely dog, born on the same day as me and was the exact age as me, she was like a sister.
Nah dude this is pretty far off the book. Twighlight and Blade 3 proved that vampire movies are retarded . . . infected cancerous zombies are way cooler
What I found weird was that when they rescanned his wife she was negative for the virus so dosent that mean that many of the other people in line be wrongly scanned?
Yes and that part was on purpose. Helps you realize how things got so bad when the technology designed to find healthy people was faulty, therefore potentially spreading the virus even further by allowing people with false positive readings to go through.
Dags are symptomatic Carriers through contact. So . Chances are. As you see later in the film. Their isnt a lot of dogs left. Also. Hes had the dog since he lost his family. Hes acting on emotion which is conveyed well in those scenes.
Hell, I had a Dobermann who lived till he was 13. I would never ever ever ever just go get me another dog!!! I would have gone to hell and back for him
Same for my Pomeranian! My he rest in piece. I'd take on the world with that dog and he'd be right by my side with that devilish grin waiting for some chaotic action.
“Viral zombie outbreak somehow destroyed three of the biggest bridges in the world” I think he forgot about the fact that the military shot down those bridges to quarantine off the city. -1 for CinemaSins.
you sinned the fact he had recorded TV broadcasts? did you not see the constant time stamp on the footage, clearly it's the studio's own recording, they do keep records, he's alone, he obviously just went down to the studio & grabbed like a months worth of tapes so he'd have TV.
3:03 it does state later some people were immune. Hence why he was so dedicated to finding a cure. Explains why he built a lab, which when you think about everything being free and his previous knowledge about medicine doesn't make a home lab a sin. Also the few people who were immune died from being physically attacked. It also explains the camp that the two found at the end.
It is that obvious, just not to you i guess. Most would assume that or make the connection. Where do you think all the footage a network replays comes from? Who would make a broadcast and not keep any record of it?
3:13- he probably has a lab because he built it years before the virus, he was apart of the military after all. 4:32- he could find another dog, but that one dog has meaning to him. He was the only other family he had after his wife and daughter died. 8:01- he probably cuddled him because he was feeling scared and sad cause he knew that his dog was pretty much already dead. Yes, he could've found a less painful, more quicker way to kill him, but it makes sense why he cuddled him then killed him.
about the lab also...i don't think its impossible either :D It is shown in the movie several times that he is obsessed with details, precision and has enormous amount of patience and perseverance. He basically wen't crazy because of this, he just cannot stop. A man like that can achieve a lot in a matter of weeks, not years, even if he started from scratch. I don't think he HAD a lab before the virus, why would he, at his own house? Same with the water heaters, yes, he probably installed them with lots of effort, and yes, he needed all. There is winter there in NYC :D And energy does not come from thin air...so that's a sin off too I think. Also the orgy of evidence in the movie -when he goes around abandoned houses- states that the virus does not killed everyone overnight. There was months of struggle where people hoarded resources - that's why he can find them in houses- and probably time for different kind of levels of actions from the military. One of them could possibly be providing him with said laboratory... ofc it's bullshit, cause it's not a wishing game at that point :DDD He would have been transported INSTANTLY to a secure facility, with his whole family. But..then the plot could not happen. :D So all in all, I think it's well written, if we can just enjoy the atmosphere and assume that we don't know shit about military and viruses and less about laboratories. :DDD And I'm sure we actually don't :)
Dude WTF? I've seen 2 version of this movie. One were he uses the granade to kill the zombies in the lab and the other version ended with him arriving to the camp with the other kid and the woman.
He makes the dog food with such resolve because the last thing his daughter did for him was give it to him and tell him to take care of him. That's also why he chases the dog into the building. The way I saw it, the dog is Robert's daughter in his mind.
Something you kind of skipped over is the ending, which had a much better deleted scene version that didn't include Neville pointlessly blowing himself up (so actually was EEEEVER so slightly closer to the source book's point about becoming a legend in the eyes of the non-human beings). Basically another sin for choosing a worse ending. *Ding*.
Absolutely, the idiotically unnecessary protagonist death is one of the most-maligned useless deaths in film. He basically sacrifices himself (and the cured vampire lady!) for no reason at all.
blasterdude3 Yes, yes, but why does he stand around with the grenade instead of just going down the hatch with the others and throwing it from there? There's literally no reason for him to die along with the zombies.
and it paints him as some sacrificial hero which is the opposite moral of the book. he's the legend, because he's the monster to the zombies. the same way we envision legendary, menacing beasts that are worthy of being vanquished and defeated are how he is viewed to "them". he's killed so many of their kind he's the villain to them. the alternate ending is a little cooler but im pretty sure he dies in the book.
In the movie he becomes a "legend" simply because he discovers the cure for zombie/vampires in what seems to be a complete accident. In the book, we find out during the story that not all of the vampires are feral. During Neville's daily vampire hunts, he has been unknowingly killing intelligent, sane vampires in addition to the completely feral ones. Neville is a "legend" because humans are now in the minority. He is the boogyman in this newly emerging vampire society, a scary story that the parents will tell their children. It's a very downbeat ending.
7:35 the zombies. Yes, it doesn't make sense with the 'MURICAN ending everybody knows, but the other, "decent" ending shows that the zombies are intelligent and they came back for the captured girl
I thought that was kind of obvious... That one zombie guy seemed pretty pissed he kidnapped the girl. Which, you know, led to him trapping will smith with the same trap he used to capture the girl, and then there's a whole revenge rage attack for the rest of the film...
I always thought it was obvious too, especially in light of the extremely sophisticated trap set up to catch Neville. That shit was mind fucking at its finest. It always disturbed me that it wasn't addressed in the theatrical release, and the deleted scene/alt ending didn't set it right either.
I am Legend makes me cry every time the moment will smith goes to the dvd place after his dog died and begs the mannequin to say hello to him I just break down crying. Shit's sad.
A lot of Neville's behavioral quirks can be explained by long-term trauma and sustained isolation. He's sane enough to know the mannequins aren't real, but by constructing a veneer of normalcy he can maintain what sanity he's got. Then the survivors come in and pretty much totally upend the world and rationalizations he constructed for himself. This narrative arc works better with the original ending (where the hemocytes are shown to be sentient and he is the monster in the night, metaphorically, which in the original story was a brilliant twist on the standard post-apoc lone survivor plot), but because it didn't test well his story ended with him blowing himself up in a cliche'd sacrifice, having learned nothing, and it comes off more like Neville simply can't accept the new status quo the other two survivors introduced.
The original ending all the elder zombie thing wanted was his wife back the way she was, It turns out that they are not devoid of human life they are actually a nocturnal species of human and actually live a life.
I think the movie acquired the sins by first off going in and saving the dog in a situation where it was a Darwin award type situation. And then later killing the dog when the poor pup tries to help its owner. If you are gonna have a pet in a movie, it should always survive. Or die quickly. Not tease death, then draw it out. sins for sadness
@jamesk479 Sam didn't die from disease. She died to the wounds, then reanimated as a zombie. He then snapped her neck, which cuts off the brain's connection, thus shutting her whole body down. Without a brain controlling the body, the zombie had no fuel, and thus died. Also, sam was no longer Sam when she turned into a zombie; she was merely a zombie. There's no need to kill someone in a merciful and painless way when they're no longer humane themselves, no?
The child doesn't have to understand what you are saying what is important is that the child feels that you are paying attention to them and they are part of what is going on.

One of the best chapters I have read in any book, completely undermined by this movie.
5:58 You don't tell a dog "I'll be back soon" because the dog understands the words, but because he understands the calming tone. Also being the last human alive for hundreds of miles, it's an understandable trait for the character. Just like rewinding and returning videotapes. It creates a sense of normalcy that helps prevent going insane.
The army destroyed the bridges in the film to isolate the city 😂 it didn’t just happen
3 years have gone… and likes I got from this still tickles me
lol i was thinking the exact same thing
And that costed Robert's family as well.
@@Fredcat11 not really, the helicopter was destroyed by another helicopter that was overrun by dark seekers
@@SydneyRichelle Yes, but it still killed his family in that way.
@@Fredcat11 but the helicopter was not destroyed by a missile that the army used to destroy the bridges. It was destroyed by another helicopter as its pilot lost control and crashed right into his family's helicopter.
4:30 "just get another dog" wow you're getting a sin for that

@@Nexis1701 Agreed. I am editing it right now.
The man has two cats....well, one for sure. He doesn't think like us normal people.
Some People get way to attached to animals, it's very unhealthy. Also your saying only dog owners are normal? Or cat owners are abnormal?
People usually do get a another dog right after.....
I cried when he was talking to that mannequin and said something like "I promised a friend I would talk to you" :(
That was super sad. No one thinks about how lonely it becomes.
Same
The part that made me cry was when he was begging it to talk to him, like he finally realized that it wasn’t real
and also the “say hello to me” part
dude i almost woke up my parents bro i was sobbing
Its 2020, I thought it had been long enough, but hearing the scene with Will yelling "No no no!!" after his dog, BROKE MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN I WASNT READY.
6:58 the soldiers drawing their weapons on eachother is actually a small but genius part of the writing that I believe is there intentionally. It shows the chaos and confusion of duty during a situation like this. One military detail has been assigned to protect Col Neville while the other has been assigned to stop anyone with possible symptoms from going across. Which is why when he tried to pull his wife over, the first soldiers drew their weapons on him and out of their duty to protect Col Neville, his security detail pulled their weapons in response.

Only sin in this video is
Will Smith survived 3 years in new york city , died next day after he met a women.
Ghosteriz yeah spends 3 years with a dog he thrives and is living a comfortablish existence once he meets a woman he dies lesson learnt men
Archie Cullen That's no joke man lol
Ghosteriz no its not because of that woman. As you can see his dog dies first because the leader of zombies retaliated by making a trap for will smith... leading to the dog's death... then will got deppressed and tried to kill himself and the woman saved him.... shame that it was still dark we they got home and the zombies followed them there. Thus give the zombies knowledge of where humans hide. get it?
Mr. Fish. they followed them because she didnt wait till sunrise like Will said. its all her fault lol
Theres an alternate ending where will smith lives
Movie Sin 39: He has that dog since it was a baby. You wouldn't just let your dog die that your dead child loved. That's kinda like saying:''your dad or the only living thing that loves you ran away? Just find another one.''
@Norma Jinete frfrfr
4:30 he’s been alone for a long time and the dogs all that’s keeping him from completely losing it in my opinion it’s reasonable
And he had been there after the outbreak for years at that point, i think he would've came across another one if there was one. But we did see that the darkseekers had their own dogs, maybe that ate or turned most of the dogs just wondering about.
@@chrisreaves6399 The dark seekers had their own INFECTED dogs but actual dogs are VERY rare you see dogs are only immune to the airborne virus but not the contact one like humans and if you remember there were only 1% from 6.4B people that were immune so to find a uninfected dog will he close to impossible
If im correct the percentage of uninfected dogs at the start of the breakout is around 0.5% so pretty slim
P.s.:Dogs were the first to be infected you can see that on a poster from the house that Neville entered
The poster said:
Infected dogs appear at dawn
Stay in the light
Yup
exactly
The dog was immune to just the airborne virus and will was immune to both he may have needed the dogs blood and his blood
You should remove at least 5 sins for the superb heartfelt scene of him killing his dog. Smith knocked that out of the park bro. Comon.
Will Smith is a nonce
Smith knocked the movie out of the park. The mannequin scene after the dog... damn.
@@dixonbutts800 for those who read the book, the movie sucks. For those who didn't, or don't care, the movie is good because it keeps me on the hook.
he did really well with the whole kinda losing it thing. But honestly, while this is far from an amazing movie, its the best film adaptation we have by far and the book is truly amazing
@@tacomas9602 I also read the book. Honestly, the book and movie are so vastly different from each other that I consider them separate entities. The overlap was extremely small, and the movie completely missed the point of the title, especially by not going with the alternate ending. I still enjoyed both quite a bit.
"Movie predicts Batman V Superman 8 years before its release, but is unable to stop it from happening."
Thank you for making me spit my drink all over my phone Cinemasins
A Mouth Full of Rashes also the "you can see the suck dripping from it" comment
#minoritylife
A Mouth Full of Rashes actually it's a different Bvs movie that got cancelled or something
A Mouth Full of Rashes I just watched I Am Legend again today and just noticed that! 😂😂
Can you even count that as a prediction? Because Batman vs Superman happened PLENTY of times.
You should watch the alternate ending. That will make a lot of sense as the creatures show signs of human like emotions. The zombie he captured was the gf/wife of the alpha zombie. He didn't care about Neville until his gf got kidnapped. The last scene shows Neville giving the girl zombie back to alpha and alpha sparing his life. This alternative ending could've cut more than 10 sin points.
"Fuck you, get another dog that's not stupid" I know Jeremy's a cat person, but damn...
And the next moment he calls it a 'Great Dog' and sins the movie for fucking with him. One sin to Jeremy for not knowing what he wants.
*ding*
"Fuck you, buy a butter dish."
...
Wait, wrong website.
The fact that both the original comment and the reply have the exact same ammount of dislikes, is kinda satisfying.
Dogs can be both stupid and great.
BONUS SINS:
In the original book, Neville does a ton more killing than healing (hence the genocide pictures in his basement), and in the final scene (where he blows up the infected with a grenade) instead he is brought into their society and executed by them, showcasing that he was in fact the monster, instead of the infected, and solidifying the name of the movie and book with this final line:
"[I am] a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever. I am legend."
Neville was supposed to be tradition that ended evolution, and was a commentary on how time marches on, and what was once noble and righteous can become twisted and evil, even if the actions have not changed. This movie not only destroyed that point, but turned Neville into a martyr instead of allowing the audience to understand that even with good intentions, evil can be created
Ding.
Damn, now I kind of want to read the book.
Book sounds stupid.
Book is excellent.
damn that actually sounds like a better ending, but you know it was Will Smith so he had to be the hero bleh
It's basically the idea that ever hero is the villains villain. The infected are a whole new species that are coming into their own and building an actual hierarchy and society. Kind of a flip on the "we are the aliens" idea.
"Just go find another dog"
Cinema Sins has DEFINITELY never owned a dog!
ikr
Especially when that dog was Will Smith’s only real companion for 3 years of loneliness.
I love Jeremy, but yeah, he has cats.
@Jules Dalton are you in the year 2000, the last time that was used?
@Jules Dalton a tightass feminist? Dead memes? Did you have a stroke or are you just making this up in your imagination? I don't know what I've said to make you think either of those things 😂
You missed the fact that when he sacrificed himself so the women and boy could stay in the little bunker untill daylight well wouldn’t the zombies still stay in there during the day? Making it impossible to get back out of the bunker without being killed?
He prolly killed them all with the explosion, and for some reason, no other zombies came.
The zombies aren’t actually evil, all they wanted was to save the female zombie on the table aka the alphas lover
Thats why he said they wouldn’t stop if he went with them, the leader/alpha had them out for revenge because he kidnapped the woman, if he hid they would keep looking until they killed him, so he sacrifices himself, that way he could for sure take out the leader and the others would likly return to there dens as they achieved there goal and nolonger were taking orders
Exactly!!
one does not simply "find another dog"
Unless you dislike animals and you treat them as just pets not family and if they die just buy another one lol, btw im not one them people
True. I was thinking that as he said it.
True
also notice how he backtracks when the dog dies saying the dog was awesome etc
My Doberman male died at 13 and I would have gone to hell and back just to save him. They become family!!!
when I saw this movie, some teen yelled out "Circle Jerk" when Will's character saw the zombies standing in that room while looking for his dog...
That guy is awesome.
If this happened in Colorado, that was me lol.
As funny as that is, that guys a dick.
That movie had a different ending,did it not?
+AWESOME MAN Yeah, and a lot of people think it's better.
The bridges were blown up in the flashback he has, it was to stop people from leaving the city because they were infected.
Carrey John same
Jack™ iI
and why he is so attached to the dog is explained in another flashback. it was the last link to his family.
phyllip walker It was explained in a flashback and was the last link to his family
The biggest sin is that you keep referring to the creatures as "Zombies" when they are in fact Vampires...hence their aversion and damage from sunlight. It is also referenced in the book that they are in fact Vampires.

That was his house before the outbreak
Since he’s a scientist it would make sense he has a lab in his basement
Not really, how is going to be able to afford all that stuff, indeed, why would he when he has all the lab tech he needs at his job. A computer at home perhaps but a family man isn't working home and away
@@Gobtik I think a scientist that made the cover of time probably has enough money and importamce and reason to have a home lab.
@@cdub1010 ^agree
Casey Wilder plus he was a soldier with enough importance to escape
@@Gobtik
Choosing to work from the lab at his home was done for the same reason *why the dog was so important to him:
His house was sentimental to him because it's a place that had memories with his wife and daughter.
It's where he lived with his family before they died. He still had their pictures up in the house, and his daughter's room was just as she left it before she died.
*His daughter gave him the dog "to protect him" minutes before she died.
When I've finish writing my first Hollywood Movie, Imma give Cinema Sins the script to review first...

I’ve been laughing nonstop at “Here lies our friend Fred. He got shot in the head and now he’s dead.” and “She probably heard about what you did to Fred” for 10 minutes
missed out the biggest flaw, about the ending where he sacrifices himself when he could have just thrown the grenade before crawling into the safe that had plenty of room
doiiiiii
+ Admiral 137 So? It's not the ending they went with for the theatrical release. Alternate endings don't count, if anything its just proof of why the ending they threw together for more rating appeal was bad.
Alternate ending is worse and dumb.
Alternate ending ACTUALLY fits in with the plot given the whole butterfly shenanigan, and also restores the themes of the novel.
Luke Dias The alternate ending was a way of keeping Will Smith's character in the story so there could be a sequel. Because you don't go and make Will Smith the protagonist and then NOT have him in the sequel (Independence Day Resurgence) But in all seriousness, movies take plenty of liberties when it comes to taking a novel to the silver screen. Even though the idea that they weren't just mindless zombies is somewhat refreshing, it didn't jive with people so oh well, there goes that IP.
"How has he been putting down the rats, with a heavy dictionary?" -That was actually pretty funny
When He said it, it was.

A heavy dictionary it like a REALLY big hardcover book like 1000-1500 pages

@@Camewithpotato yep
@@Camewithpotato not the first time he has done that. he's actually terrible at criticism, i guess that's not really a bad thing.
I think they just add way more sins than make sense to pad out run time.
It’s likely that he left stuff out for the sake of not having to take sins off
even with Jeremy talking over the dogs death, i cried. Shows just how powerful this movie can be
The biggest sin is the ending. The alt ending shows that the zombie Neville captured and 'cured' earlier on is in fact the Alpha female. The alpha male is only trying to get her back, showing that the zombies are not mindless, but are an organised subspecies of humanity. Furthermore, the fact that he has killed hundreds of their kind makes HIM the monster, not the zombies. A brilliant twist, but sadly we had to go for "Zombies are evil, lets kill them indiscriminately."
Well they are vampires not zombies
+Covo Thank you!
Read the book. He IS the monster.
The last man on earth ending was great
This is the third remake
+Covo they're kind of both
Uhhh, it's possible Neville had a laboratory downstairs...I mean, wasn't it his house before the whole apocalypse thing. He's a world-famous scentist no? Why can't he have a lab downstairs?
CinemaSins tends to nitpick and sin things that aren't sins so... Yeah...
because that lab was specailised with anti zombi disease atuff only which he wouldn't be able to get unless he knew the zombi apocolypse would happen before it does
Well, they did know about the disease before it actually spread by becoming airborne and the military could have stocked him up with plenty of possible cures before the apocalypse happened.
yeah that's fair to say I guess
cuz he's an idiot.FUCKING GOOD REASON!!
Should’ve taken off a sin or two for the “Will Smith impersonates Eddie Murphy” bit, it was legitimately funny😂
"I like Shrek."
Depends on how you see it. It probably does deserve the sin, even though its a sad moment where it basically showed he was alone for 3 years and had no one to talked to so to stimulate human contact he kept watching movies. But if he knows every single dialogue from shrek then it suggests that he mostly watched shrek which is a sin cuz he could watch any movie he wanted.
I remember one of the most heartbreaking scenes was when after sam died and he was at the woman’s house he went up to the bathroom and sat in the bathtub the same way he would sit in it to wash sam 😢
"That dog was awesome!" 3 minutes after explaining how "stupid" she is. Sin

@@bigmackmusic174 He meant that the audience liked the dog, sure its a idiot, but they still liked it
I always figured the house he was living in was his house from before. The lab in the basement was already there before the outbreak because he is a scientist.

Slippery Storm he seemed pretty important with the way the military acted towards him when he tried to get his family on a helicopter...

Slippery Storm what do you mean by that sarcastic response? O.o implying he wouldn't be able to? For one he's a fucking scientist and they make more than a pretty penny, especially with his talent and likely his "rank". Shut up, ignorant turkey.
1:39 you add a sin for the dog not barking, then add one because it was barking. Seems a little harsh but ok...
The second sin was more for how long it took for the dog to start barking
hes just bullshitting some of the sins
I'm a little late but, welcome to CinemaSins.
I thought this video was in humor category because there is no way this guy can be serious about his critics
Its just unrealistic when a dog doesnt bark instantly after a dight with loud noices
I liked this movie for a while and liked it even more when I saw the alternate ending, but after hearing what the book was really about, they never explained what the title means. Apparently he is legend amongst the infected, because to them, he is the boogie man he takes them while they sleep. That's such an interesting concept.
The film has nothing in common except the title
Its a decent-ish film, and a great book but there is basically not a single shared plot element
In the book some rando average guy is the last man surviving a vampire (not zombie) pandemic, is more depressed than cool as post apocalypse dude, the dog he only finds halfway through the storyline, he doesnt have a ficking huge ass lab but figured sh*t out by being surrounded by it for ages, the "alive" woman he met was actually a vampire, oh and the ending is him realizing that while the vampires were monsters to him, he was a monster in their view
Makes me wonder why they even bothered payong royalty fees to the book author...
Yep, the entire concept of the book was thought provoking and a fairly original concept, and each time it has been adapted, it has been dumbed down for audiences to just another Vampire/Zombie flick. Just a complete waste of time on what is an amazing book and unique idea.
When I was younger I ALWAYS cried when the dog died.
Derpee Gaming why because they are cute? It bothers me more when a human dies rather than animals but maybe it's just me...
I agree. I usually don't care about animals. Big exception for this movie, because they really made you love the dog.

The biggest sin this movie has is not using the original ending,
I concur, but unfortunately Cinema Sins tries their best to not sin based on the original material. They have done it a couple times before, but rarely.
It's not really using the original plot
But the original ending is in the DVD, they just decided to use the stupid one.
In the other ending, Smith's character Neville realizes that these creatures DO have some humanity left and the reason they're attacking is because the alpha male is looking for the girl creature that Neville captured. He lets her go and the creatures leave.
In our ending, he blows them all up AND himself because.......idk, Michael Bay took over for a second or something.
You mean from the book? Cause that was the saddest ending possible!
+Legendary Detective Wobbaffet it was awesome though, and meaningful
just saying, the creatures in I Am Legend were "supposed" to be vampires, not zombies.
that's why they are called "hemocytes", which, I accept your literal translation as true. I guess they were trying to be clever by working "blood" into the name.
spoiler alert
and in the ending of the actual book, it is revealed they still retained their intelligence and their sentience and had created their own society.
when Neville was going around in the day, killing them, they started to imagine him as a monster. most of them had never seen him and would create myths and stories about this monster that stalks them by day and murders them.
when they finally capture him, they put him on trial for what he did and sentence him to death and only then does he realize that this world no longer has a place for humans.
the vampires were now the dominant species on earth and the humans were all but extinct, except for Neville.
and Neville would die now, becoming nothing but ....A Legend.
hence the name , I Am Legend
FeMaiden I don’t know I think the original film (the last man on earth) based on the book follows its source material more closely
That actually sound good. Why did they cut the part which gives the story sense
Did the book explain how the vampires survived without humans to prey on?
well there you have it
well... vampires arn't real and their rules and lore change with every book and movie. so to assume they NEED blood is kinda.. ya. vamps get written the way the writers want. the way its always been, the way it always will be.
"Trying to reason with the creatures when..."
The irony is that the creatures actually had some humanity in the original story.
Granted, Neville didn't know that at this point, but still....
The whole point of the story was that neville is the creature's boogieman. He's the monster to them.
Actually, the real irony is that in the original (and far better) ending of the film he actually does reason with the creatures....
Remember the cardinal rules of CinemaSins: "The books do not fucking matter"
+Screwy No but I would think the original ending of the movie would matter. They only changed the ending because test audience didn't like it (proving once again that test audience are stupid).
Idk about anyone else, but I could only watch this movie as a kid, before I realized how depressing the situation actually was as an adult

2:15 - Dr. Neville didn't record a bunch of news because he knew he would one day be the last person in the world and would want to watch old newscasts for clues about the apocalypse. The TCR scrawled across the screen in the videos means Time Code Reading, which is used in editing videos before they are broadcast, the videos most likely came from the news station's own video library . . . which makes perfect sense3:15 - He didn't "confiscate the Brownstone", he lived in it before the apocalypse . . . notice his daughter's bedroom, with all her stuff still in it. Also, in the first flashback scene he pulls up in front of the Washington Square Arch (the same one that is shown getting blown to shit when the vampires attack his home), and meets his family coming down the stairs of that same house. Also, he is a military virologist so even if he didn't have that lab in his basement to begin with, he certainly had access to everything he would need to build said lab 4:06 - did you not watch the flashback scenes? The military blew up the bridges as part of their quarantine attempt, it was actually what was responsible for the helicopter crash that killed his family, kind of an important plot point, pay attention 8:40 - that wasn't a flashback, that was Anna driving him away from the pier
Rotor Hed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👊
Also:
•the trap was heavily implied to have been set up by Robert, but used against him by the Darkseekers
•he didn't get a new dog because his daughter gave him Sam
•the thing about Darkseekers being completely inhuman was Robert being in denial, you could tell by his look

Also he couldn’t get a new dog because all the dogs would die of starvation if they were stuck inside or get bit within days
Bro. You just cinema sinned cinema sins :o

Tread Carefully Your Thoughts Can Kill You your comment insunuates that you have had past dogs that have passed away and that makes me sad
Tread Carefully Your Thoughts Can Kill You - I was about to make this comment. I have had now TWO very picky German Shepherds.
Especially German Shepherds. Those dogs are smarter than most humans.
MrDEA666 - In some cases, but not all. I practiced tough love with mine, and my old girl would hold out 6 days before eating things she didn't like. So, it's not a learned thing. Some dogs are just particular.
Squirrel Guy I'm from the sticks. If a dog gets "picky" just let the fucker starve...its a dog
I'm surprised he didn't sin the sacrificing himself bit. He coulda just thrown the grenade and then hopped in with them
4:00 pretty sure the bridge was destroyed to prevent the infection from spreading
Sounds like a terrible way to stop an infection from spreading
+somany5 Complete opposite. The same reason we cut infected limbs off is to stop the infected blood from flowing to the rest of the body. In a big city surrounded by many bridges connecting to the rest of the world, you cut off all simple routes of escape in order to prevent any of these vampire zombie mutants from getting to the rest of the world.
+somany5 Not really. If they weren't aware it was airborne at the time, it'd make sense to get rid of the bridge so infected wouldn't cross over it (and hopeing they couldn't swim and could still drown if they attempted to cross by water).
Makes perfect sense under the circumstances, honestly.
the movie literally shows jets blowing the bridges up with missiles during the last flashback
2:13 I’m sure it’s been pointed out but the time overlay on the news reels he’s watching indicate that it’s probably archived/indexed “raw footage”. Meaning it’s likely that he went to the studio and retrieved these recordings.
And we don’t have to wonder if he’s the type of person to do this... based upon everything that he has and the amount of time he’s been combing the city, and with his research with making the cure, it’s not unlikely that he would want to know if there were any known indicators or signs as to what went wrong and when people first realized it.
And while, you could argue that the news isn’t the best place to do this, I think watching the news is a bit of a cathartic experience for him. Like it reminds him of the time before this, or makes the atmosphere feel matter-of-fact and normal.
Meaning it makes sense both his viewing the footage (imagine how much news coverage this story (curing cancer) would have gotten... I’m sure he has thousands of hours of footage from several different NY-based stations.
I'm adding an extra like 10 sins because the alternate ending of the movie was better than the regular ending
It was a lot better
Agreed, it still wouldn't have saved the film but at least was slightly more interesting by comparison.
what was the alternate ending? was it after the credits or in a book?
neither the alt ending hints at the book ending, but the alt ending was actually shot and is part of the dvd extras. The book ending is that the hemocytes actually have a developed society and Dr. Neville has become a "daywalker" a creature of myth that hunts them in the light of day... a legend
Edit: added what the book ending was
You forgot the bit where he suicides at the end instead being executed for hunting said hemocytes (or as they were in the book, vampires).
dog dying in any movie should be like MINIMUM of 100 sins
Yes - exactly!!!!!!
CinemaSins missed one sin... The woman used his bacon... HE WAS SAVING THAT BACON... HE WAS SAVING IT...
And in all these kind of movies, when something happens, its ALWAYS in america. Why not asia or europe, or fucking ocean?
Hena pena Yeah zombies in the ocean how did you get that brilliant idea?
It's probably easier to make them about America just because the people making the movie are probably in America.
Hena pena the movie was made by an American studio and was advertised for Americans so why place it in a place most people won't recognize and have no connection to? Everyone knows about New York and everyone can spot out the landmarks of new York so they will use US cities because it works. Don't fix something that ain't broken.
Hena pena Watch Train To Busan for a Korean zombie apocalypse
HE BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE SHREK

They blew the bridges out in an attempt to quarantine
No they didn't. They just shut down all the restaurants and gyms, then made everyone wear masks.
@@schmidtythekidd yes they did, it was to contain the outbreak which failed smhhh
Yes.
I always thought Fred's head moved to the side when they zoom in on him, 7:20 check it out.
Also, "Dammit woman, I told you to drive around until light, they don't know where I live!"
How'd she find where he lived?
@@curtiskretzer8898 he(Will Smith’s character) told her where he lived and said stay out til dawn, they don’t know where I live.
The biggest sin is that they changed the movie so much from the book that the title doesn't even make sense anymore. In the book, Neville goes through the city systematically killing the zombies on purpose until they catch him, at which point he realizes that they fear him, like a boogeyman. He will be their legend forever. They will tell their children, "Be good, stay in bed, or Robert Neville will get you."
Stephanie Kneeland This makes me want to go out and actually buy the book.
ok, i'm interested, i'm definetely gonna buy the book
The Vincent Price movie was fantastic and really played on that aspect of it.
There's a fucking book
I'm too broke to buy, so imma find a free pdf...
I'm pretty sure in the movie they blew up the bridges to prevent the spread of the virus. Am I wrong?
You're right,this is just a satirical video so maybe he left it out purposefully or just didn't notice it
will smith is a wicked scientist or army or anything he can and that woman is always right for everything so they build the bridge. awesome right...?
As if the virus will walk their way from the city to the rest of the world, they are airborne dude, they don't need birdges.
Kaustuv Pradhan It was the beginning of the virus,I'm pretty sure they didn't know it was airborne
Yeah, thats why they were being evacuated by helicopter.
my gosh the whole dog dying arc made me cry so so much when I saw this move...

The covering over the buildings(to contain the virus in the building)
is a reflection on how frightened and desperate society would be in the face such a horrific outbreak. The soldiers drew their weapons towatds each other because they were frightened and on edge, because they were torn between duty and a natural desire to desert and go home to their families and friends during a terrifying and unprecedented crisis. The dog hearing the infected outside the house would certainly bark causing the infected to possibly investigate neville's home(a clear plot hole).He doesn't get another dog because like most dog owners he loves her and considers her family and they may not be as common as you think, domestic animals would easy picking for the infected.The bridges and tunnels were destroyed by the military to quarintine the city.(no shit?) The infected sleep standing up, Why? probably to make them even creepier and less human. In "The Omega Man" (1971) the infected were far more sofisticated. The infected set up the trap that caught neville, so the infected are barely human yet still intelligent. When Neville says he's not going to let this happen to anna, he's talking about the total extinction of humanity, he correctly believes there's still time to save our species. Anna believes the colony exists for the similar reasons neville doesn't, she needs it to be there for hope, he needs it not to be there for hope, so he can stay on his purpose in new york to find a cure. If he believed there were a colony of people just a couple of hundred miles away he might be tempted to leave it all behind and go there to join them. Neville talks the infected near the end probably for the same reasons buildings were covered in plastic: fear, desperation, an irrational attempt to fix a horrific problem.
What I dont get is when that girl shows up in his house EATS HIS BACON and pulls a gun on him...like BRO he was saving that bacon
I hated her immediately
@@K37-h1z same
I cried so hard when the dog dies because she looked just like my dog. She has passed away now. Rest in peace Lucy. (I don't mean to upset anyone) She was a lovely dog, born on the same day as me and was the exact age as me, she was like a sister.
sorry for ur loss dude. must've been a great dog.
im so sorry love, its ok

Fun fact: these aren't zombies, based on the book they are vampires basically.
The directors for the movie made them seem more akin to zombies though.
What if...they were BOTH! *DUN DUN DUUUUUN!*
Their also intelligent In the book
yall made me wanna re-read the book again
Nah dude this is pretty far off the book. Twighlight and Blade 3 proved that vampire movies are retarded . . . infected cancerous zombies are way cooler
What I found weird was that when they rescanned his wife she was negative for the virus so dosent that mean that many of the other people in line be wrongly scanned?
yeah but that doesnt matter
Yes and that part was on purpose. Helps you realize how things got so bad when the technology designed to find healthy people was faulty, therefore potentially spreading the virus even further by allowing people with false positive readings to go through.
Dags are symptomatic Carriers through contact. So . Chances are. As you see later in the film. Their isnt a lot of dogs left. Also. Hes had the dog since he lost his family. Hes acting on emotion which is conveyed well in those scenes.
What are dags
Dags? Are you Mickey from snatch?
A dag is same as a dork.
It's Aussie slang.
A "dag" is actually a bit of poo that hangs off a sheeps bottom.

You know...I think that in a couple more movies and you could start saying "will smith working out cliche".
“Viral zombie outbreak somehow destroyed three of the biggest bridges in the world”
I think he forgot about the fact that the military shot down those bridges to quarantine off the city. -1 for CinemaSins.
knock knock
who's there
SUDDEN LION
Certified Destroyer lmao.
you sinned the fact he had recorded TV broadcasts?
did you not see the constant time stamp on the footage, clearly it's the studio's own recording, they do keep records, he's alone, he obviously just went down to the studio & grabbed like a months worth of tapes so he'd have TV.
Fuzzy Duo that actually isnt that obvious. I didn't know studios actually kept all of their recordings
3:03 it does state later some people were immune. Hence why he was so dedicated to finding a cure. Explains why he built a lab, which when you think about everything being free and his previous knowledge about medicine doesn't make a home lab a sin.
Also the few people who were immune died from being physically attacked.
It also explains the camp that the two found at the end.
He has sins for everything, its satire dumbass.
It is that obvious, just not to you i guess. Most would assume that or make the connection. Where do you think all the footage a network replays comes from? Who would make a broadcast and not keep any record of it?
fearingz satire of movies or critiques?
4:05 didn't they blow the bridges up so you can't get to Manhattan?
Yep
you mean leave manhattan
The helicopter crashed in to the bridges
The bridges were destroyed by the military to keep the infected zombies on Manhattan. So no idea why he thinks the zombies destroyed the bridges.
Robert Frowny Jr 08:07 ugly thick lips
3:13- he probably has a lab because he built it years before the virus, he was apart of the military after all.
4:32- he could find another dog, but that one dog has meaning to him. He was the only other family he had after his wife and daughter died.
8:01- he probably cuddled him because he was feeling scared and sad cause he knew that his dog was pretty much already dead. Yes, he could've found a less painful, more quicker way to kill him, but it makes sense why he cuddled him then killed him.
about the lab also...i don't think its impossible either :D It is shown in the movie several times that he is obsessed with details, precision and has enormous amount of patience and perseverance.
He basically wen't crazy because of this, he just cannot stop. A man like that can achieve a lot in a matter of weeks, not years, even if he started from scratch.
I don't think he HAD a lab before the virus, why would he, at his own house? Same with the water heaters, yes, he probably installed them with lots of effort, and yes, he needed all.
There is winter there in NYC :D And energy does not come from thin air...so that's a sin off too I think.
Also the orgy of evidence in the movie -when he goes around abandoned houses- states that the virus does not killed everyone overnight.
There was months of struggle where people hoarded resources - that's why he can find them in houses- and probably time for different kind of levels of actions from the military.
One of them could possibly be providing him with said laboratory... ofc it's bullshit, cause it's not a wishing game at that point :DDD He would have been transported INSTANTLY to a secure facility, with his whole family.
But..then the plot could not happen. :D So all in all, I think it's well written, if we can just enjoy the atmosphere and assume that we don't know shit about military and viruses and less about laboratories. :DDD And I'm sure we actually don't :)
Dude WTF? I've seen 2 version of this movie. One were he uses the granade to kill the zombies in the lab and the other version ended with him arriving to the camp with the other kid and the woman.
HKS 302 there is two ending. The one where he lives is the alternate one.
I remember that too
I never seen the 2nd ending
The ending where he lives should've been the final edit tbh
@@jrlopez1027. a grenade goin off in a basement that size would have killed him even if he threw it, look up blast overpressure.

When the dog died, I died.
ikr
Good, can I have all your Air Jordans?
Don't ask a corpse, just take em.
same!!
You're the dog then?
He makes the dog food with such resolve because the last thing his daughter did for him was give it to him and tell him to take care of him. That's also why he chases the dog into the building. The way I saw it, the dog is Robert's daughter in his mind.
Everything was good. Even when he screwed up the dark seekers couldn't find his home.
Women walks in and suddenly they all ambush his house
Lesson of the story: never let a woman in your house
@@Tristinthereviewguy2003 if she ain't your mom or your sister don't let her in
They should have all went to the lab right away!
They tracked him via the women.
Yea he already warned her not to let them be tracked but ugh
You made me remember how awesome this movie is XD It's amazing how hearing the flaws of a film can make you realise how flawless it is.
Something you kind of skipped over is the ending, which had a much better deleted scene version that didn't include Neville pointlessly blowing himself up (so actually was EEEEVER so slightly closer to the source book's point about becoming a legend in the eyes of the non-human beings).
Basically another sin for choosing a worse ending. *Ding*.
Absolutely, the idiotically unnecessary protagonist death is one of the most-maligned useless deaths in film. He basically sacrifices himself (and the cured vampire lady!) for no reason at all.
I sort of assumed it was so the not-zombies couldn't follow them.
blasterdude3
Yes, yes, but why does he stand around with the grenade instead of just going down the hatch with the others and throwing it from there? There's literally no reason for him to die along with the zombies.
and it paints him as some sacrificial hero which is the opposite moral of the book.
he's the legend, because he's the monster to the zombies. the same way we envision legendary, menacing beasts that are worthy of being vanquished and defeated are how he is viewed to "them". he's killed so many of their kind he's the villain to them. the alternate ending is a little cooler but im pretty sure he dies in the book.
In the movie he becomes a "legend" simply because he discovers the cure for zombie/vampires in what seems to be a complete accident.
In the book, we find out during the story that not all of the vampires are feral. During Neville's daily vampire hunts, he has been unknowingly killing intelligent, sane vampires in addition to the completely feral ones. Neville is a "legend" because humans are now in the minority. He is the boogyman in this newly emerging vampire society, a scary story that the parents will tell their children. It's a very downbeat ending.
7:35 the zombies.
Yes, it doesn't make sense with the 'MURICAN ending everybody knows, but the other, "decent" ending shows that the zombies are intelligent and they came back for the captured girl
Find 'N' Frag r
I thought that was kind of obvious... That one zombie guy seemed pretty pissed he kidnapped the girl. Which, you know, led to him trapping will smith with the same trap he used to capture the girl, and then there's a whole revenge rage attack for the rest of the film...
exsactly
I always thought it was obvious too, especially in light of the extremely sophisticated trap set up to catch Neville. That shit was mind fucking at its finest. It always disturbed me that it wasn't addressed in the theatrical release, and the deleted scene/alt ending didn't set it right either.
Was the alternate ending really only played in the US? Cause if so, that's some bullshit. The alternate ending is way better.
I am Legend makes me cry every time the moment will smith goes to the dvd place after his dog died and begs the mannequin to say hello to him I just break down crying. Shit's sad.
2:15 bro you’ve been doing this for too long to not know that he clearly got the news broadcast from NBC which is HQ’d in NYC.
3:42 never noticed that forsgadowing about the dog dying
forshadowing
Me neither
Nice eye
+Blake Watson still it was funny
Not foreshadowing. Just plot information about what happened to the animals.
A lot of Neville's behavioral quirks can be explained by long-term trauma and sustained isolation. He's sane enough to know the mannequins aren't real, but by constructing a veneer of normalcy he can maintain what sanity he's got. Then the survivors come in and pretty much totally upend the world and rationalizations he constructed for himself. This narrative arc works better with the original ending (where the hemocytes are shown to be sentient and he is the monster in the night, metaphorically, which in the original story was a brilliant twist on the standard post-apoc lone survivor plot), but because it didn't test well his story ended with him blowing himself up in a cliche'd sacrifice, having learned nothing, and it comes off more like Neville simply can't accept the new status quo the other two survivors introduced.
Plus 100 sins for changing the original ending
What was the original ending?
what was it?
The original ending all the elder zombie thing wanted was his wife back the way she was, It turns out that they are not devoid of human life they are actually a nocturnal species of human and actually live a life.
just as they were his boogie man, he was theirs. there is an alternate ending on youtube for this movie. it's the better ending in my opinion.
You are talking about the blu-ray alternative ending,not the one in the actual movie or in the cinemas
Will Smith : Survived 3 years with a loyal German Shepherd Dog. Died after a day with a woman.
Alright, so you sin him for not ditching the dog in the beginning in the zombie den, then sin the movie for killing the dog? *ding*
calm yourself child
@jamesk479 it wasnt a he. He calls the dog sam all through the film. Until she is bitten and he whimpers 'samantha' also he snaps its neck.
I think the movie acquired the sins by first off going in and saving the dog in a situation where it was a Darwin award type situation. And then later killing the dog when the poor pup tries to help its owner. If you are gonna have a pet in a movie, it should always survive. Or die quickly. Not tease death, then draw it out. sins for sadness
@jamesk479 Sam didn't die from disease. She died to the wounds, then reanimated as a zombie. He then snapped her neck, which cuts off the brain's connection, thus shutting her whole body down. Without a brain controlling the body, the zombie had no fuel, and thus died. Also, sam was no longer Sam when she turned into a zombie; she was merely a zombie. There's no need to kill someone in a merciful and painless way when they're no longer humane themselves, no?
Lol true
7:20 anyone see the mannequin (fred's) head move? always baffled me haha
