We saw I Am Legend last night, with Will Smith. Oh, what a fantastic movie!! I think we will have to own that DVD eventually. It was very well done. It made me cry, jump, and I even had dreams about it that kept me up for like, 3 hours last night. Yeah, kind of silly. I don’t remember a movie that last made me do that. I was very good.

Okay, so, if you haven’t seen the movie, and you are planning to, don’t read any further than this. I will now discuss the events in the movie, and there will be SPOILERS. Read: SPOILERS AHEAD!! So don’t blame me if I ruin the movie for you. Okay?

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! You’ve been warned.

I cannot, for the life of me, get over the fact that Sam died. That one part, I cried and cried and cried. I was so devastated. It was good for the movie and good for character building for Will Smith, but seriously, that really broke my heart. I mean, that was his only friend, for cripe’s sake! And what an awesome friend! I was so sad. I was so devastated.

And why on Earth did Will Smith’s character have to sacrifice himself in the end? I didn’t get that part. He could’ve pulled the plug thing on the grenade and throw it through the crack of the glass, and then climb into the cubby hole with the girl and the boy. Dave said it was to guarantee that the grenade got everyone away from the cubby hole, since those zombie freaks were obviously more intelligent than everyone had assumed (they band together, they have a leader, they planned traps, I mean, come oonn!). It made for a good ending for the overall story, but it was very sad and it broke my heart too.

Do you think there will be a sequel? I have a feeling there may be one, except Will Smith can’t be in it, so I’m not sure exactly how it would be done. I was impressed with Smith’s performance. He’s gone far since the days of Fresh Prince. Heh.
