edro - go in here and stay until called for.....

/a rip-off!?! good grief!

Just stay on the fail boat, skipper. Everything will be all right. 28 days later. Or was it 28 weeks later, I forget. You can eat crabby balls with seaman sauce while you wait. :beer:

God damn, 28 Weeks Later is on HBO right now. I prefer the charming pleasantry of Lord of the Rings battle sequences to this.
Those poor camera operators must have had HUGE muscles in their arms from shaking the damn cameras so much.

I love this thread.

I love this way of thinking

Oooh, burn!!

 

[Dedpuhl]

28 Days/Weeks later cracked me up with the running zombie-like people.

I Am Legend > 28 Days Later. At least I Am Legend had a good plot.

I Am Legend with the original ending was awful, the alternate ending was slightly better.

Self pwnage...... I love it!

Well, there's nothing that isn't completely wrong here. I Am Legend was reasonably entertaining, but 28 Days Later was actually a good movie, with serious depth.

But seriously,

Virus creates zombies.
Its contagious to everyone except a minor few.
Entire island/city has to be evacuated (Manhattan vs England).
Survivors must travel to the last known survivor camp.
Survivors broadcast messages via radio to alert other survivors.

refers to EVERY apocalyptic monster/zombie movie ever made. There were dozens of them, decades before 28 Days Later. So OP is pwnt, even if I Am Legend wasn't based on a 1950's novel. Which it is.

 

[HannibalX]

Damn.

That is all.

 

[Enig101]

I liked 28 Days Later a lot, it had a cool atmosphere. I Am Legend was just a lot of good solo acting by Will Smith.

Both movies are good, but...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.. ripoff?.. Hahahahahahahahahahaha... etc

 

[StinkyPinky]

Holy self-ownage batman!

 

[edro]

Hey, at least I called it beforehand in my OP.

Maybe 28 Days Later is a ripoff of another movie, in which case, I am late on my rant.

 

[Soundmanred]

So now you're saying that 28 Days Later was a ripoff of the original (Last Man/Omega Man) and then I Am Legend was a ripoff of 28 Days Later?
That's even worse.

 

[daveymark]

OP got fvcking selfPWNT

certainly not ownage of the year, but definitely up there

No, the woman still had the virus, she just didn't exhibit any symptoms. She's a carrier. She still had the virus, therefore she's not immune to it.

Join edro in the failing corner, failure.

The woman in #2 is sort of the anti-thesis to the man in #1. The man in #1 was able to duplicate the virus with intense human emotions of rage. The woman in #2 was able to suppress the virus with intense human emotions of sympathy? Perhaps? Forgiveness? They thought it was some sort of gene that would pass onto their children, but it seemed to just be a trend in the series where by specific individuals can accomplish great feats of willpower over the virus. It is one of the most interesting parts of both stories, IMO.

Also, 28 series is fucking leaps and bounds over the movie version of I am Legend. If for the no other reason that the retarded butterfly "all things have meaning" bullshit. Yea. He cracked the glass in a butterfly formation. Ok. Go choke on a grenade and die. Oh you did, thanks.

Edit: Also, while I definitely would not want to bother arguing I am Legend as a ripoff of 28 days. It is worth mentioning that just because a movie is based off of a very old book, it does not mean it can't ripoff a more a recent movie. Most movies based on books take an overwhelming number of liberties towards their source of origin. Those liberties can then be wholly unique or 'inspired' by another source.

WTF... this is a huge, blatant ripoff of 28 Days Later (2002).

Anyway, it's not just a zombie movie... it has many of the exact same scenes and plots.

Virus creates zombies.
Its contagious to everyone except a minor few.
Entire island/city has to be evacuated (Manhattan vs England).
Survivors must travel to the last known survivor camp.
Survivors broadcast messages via radio to alert other survivors.

At least on I Am Legend the zombies were harmed by UV light... otherwise, this would have been the exact same movie.

28 Days Later was much much better IMO.
Much lower budget, I am sure... but it used real actors, not horrible looking CG.

All your marketing crap can't make a movie great.

They weren't zombies, they were vampires dumbass.

Also, it wasn't just Manhattan. It was the entire world.

Rip off or not, it still sucked.
