- spydergt488, on 05/23/2008, -3/+208When you think about how awesome I am Legend could have been............
- mentallyinhell, on 05/23/2008, -1/+147Leave it to Hollywood to kill a perfectly good story.
- NinjaPirateDude, on 05/23/2008, -2/+96the thing about Die Hard is so true......
- talkingpidgin, on 05/23/2008, -3/+79Yippee-ki-yay, mother *****
- IKORKYI, on 05/23/2008, -2/+60no see the movie has to be somewhat good to be ruined
- Frecklefoot, on 05/23/2008, -0/+576. The Stepford Wives (2004) - Instead of having the same bleak ending as the 1975 movie, the studios forced Frank Oz to mash up the film so bad so it didn't make any sense, just so all the "popular" characters don't "really" die, they were just brainwashed. The original cut had the same, bleak ending as the original. What's wrong, Hollywood? Not all stories have happy endings... and that's okay!
- maexn, on 05/23/2008, -1/+54[...], where it is advertised as the "controversial original ending." Yes, coming to a peaceful reconciliation with your enemies is now more controversial than blowing them right the ***** up.
-nuff said. - brucemuir, on 05/23/2008, -10/+62they forgot The Golden Compass
- LogicBomB, on 05/23/2008, -0/+50They alluded to "ET" with the walkie-talkie quote but it needs to be said:
The new ET replaced all the cop's guns with ***** walkie talkies. Sound stupid? Try watching a dozen cops point walkie talkies baracade-style from behind their cop cars at the kids.
Ridiculous. - fahrvergnuugen, on 05/23/2008, -3/+50Dug for I Am Legend being ruined by Hollywood
- Willy99, on 05/23/2008, -2/+45the original I am Legend (Last Man on Earth) w/ Vincent Price is much better.
http://tesla.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/tun ... - Sommerlost, on 05/23/2008, -1/+39No joke, I saw it a few months ago. Thought most of the film was cool but didn't care for the ending... it all make sense now. I'd like to see that alternate ending...
- wanderson, on 05/23/2008, -1/+38Damn, that's really disappointing about I Am Legend. I was wondering why the ending was so out-of-sync with the rest of the movie.
- MelroseMan, on 05/23/2008, -12/+47Actually, I am legend would have been much better if it didn't have the religion sense in it. How lame.
- tradwolley, on 05/23/2008, -2/+34The ironic part is I found this list interesting enough I might have actually clicked to a second page for once. Good job cracked.
- DeviateSeptum, on 05/23/2008, -0/+26It wasn't a last minute change but look what studio heads did to Conan. Barbarian was awesome... Destroyer was some kid-friendly marketing vehicle.
- nard3456, on 05/23/2008, -1/+24Definitely I am Legend, if I were that guy I would have thrown the grenade and ran out the tunnel.
- alexduhgreat, on 05/23/2008, -1/+23That's the worst thing I've ever seen with I am Legend. The whole point to reverse the roles, and make us think is cluster ***** by Hollywood yet again.
- MikeyTwit, on 05/23/2008, -1/+21...and this is why most people just wait for the DVD (or torrent) to get the original "director's cut" or whatever and watch at home on their own home theater. No overpriced popcorn, no one spilling pop down your leg(happened to my wife the last time(and I do mean LAST time) we went to the movies 4 years ago, no annoying chatters behind or in front of you.
- chocobomog, on 05/23/2008, -4/+23The movie won best picture, is one of the highest grossing movies of all time, and is tied for most Oscars won for a single movie. I would hardly call it "ruined" by any changes to the ending.
- namelessXsilent, on 05/23/2008, -0/+19i never saw or read it, so i skipped that one to not ruin it, it wasnt hard
- drmangrum, on 05/23/2008, -2/+21That movie was horrible. My eyes bled for days after i watched that stinking pile of crap.
- georgemason01, on 05/23/2008, -2/+21I love how any message in a movie dealing with reconciling with an enemy, or a main character realizing he is the bad guy rather than his "enemy", is almost forbidden in major Hollywood movies. I'm almost inclined to see a political connection here, in which we actually don't want people to consider this line of thought lest people in America start to rethink some of the basic ideas they hold about so-called enemies and threats to them or their country.
- markperia, on 05/23/2008, -0/+17Its not just the ending that was disappointing in that movie. They messed with the pacing of the book and turned some scenes around and even replaced one of the character's names. I can understand truncating it to fit the storyline in 2 hrs but totally disregarding its pacing is unacceptable.
- stevenbrown, on 05/23/2008, -0/+16Wheres the link to page 2?
I don't understand this is all on one page? - DCJoeDogaswell, on 05/23/2008, -0/+15That's America, baby.
- knight666, on 05/23/2008, -1/+15Harry should have ***** died.
- CircleFusion, on 05/23/2008, -1/+15The moment when I felt "I Am Legend" was awesome was the scene where the zombies are huddled in a corner in a dark room. That was amazingly freaky!
The moment when I felt "I Am Legend" dropped a couple rungs was when the zombie dogs (and the other zombies) would not cross over that little sliver of sunlight to attack the main character and his dog. *shakes head*
But the movie was still very entertaining until...I was horribly disappointed in the ending. It would've been much more interesting to see the story described in the article (the one in the book) where the zombies show more intelligence. - SocialPoison, on 05/23/2008, -0/+14Honestly, if you're reading a book... and read an article that discusses the general plot derived from that book, how can you expect there not to be spoilers? If it was that important to you, how could you not go "Oh, I Am Legend is on this list, I'll just have to skip it?"
That's like reading a plot synopsis on IMDB and being mad that they gave away the gist of the plot. - BoneheadFarker, on 05/23/2008, -1/+15The movie itself ruined the ending for me. It was great, right up until the weird religious theme that seemed to be tacked onto the end. Turns out it really was tacked on...
- Altari, on 05/23/2008, -1/+14It would have been totally amazing had they stuck to the book. But no, we had to make things shiny and flashy and make the infected a strange mix of the Resident Evil zombies and the 30 Days of Night Vampires.
- Dokument, on 05/23/2008, -3/+15seriously. I am Legend is completely ruined for me now. I knew something was up with the way the movie flowed though, the part where he stays in the sun is kinda obvious
- DforSpiD, on 05/24/2008, -0/+12I found the same thing, by the time I got to the bottom of the page I was thinking that this is cracked, there will definitely be another page (completely ignoring the fact that the article said 5.)
Then there was no second page and I was actually disappointed. - n8f8, on 05/23/2008, -0/+12I read it and the ending I read he does find out HE is essentially the monster.
- cheech794, on 05/23/2008, -0/+12I am pretty sure that Ridley Scott never denied making that monologue for Harrison ford at the end of Balid Runner, but he fixed it on the directors cut.
- hollismb, on 05/23/2008, -0/+12Yup, I did the same thing. 'Hey, I haven't seen that movie, but plan on it... maybe I shouldn't read about how they ruined the ending?'
- Dustyb, on 05/23/2008, -0/+11The alternate ending is on that page. There is a little faster loading version on this page.
http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/must-watch- ... - fani, on 05/23/2008, -0/+11I recently watched the I Am Legend alternate ending and I was taken aback by how better that ending was. Normally, these alternate endings are a joke to make you buy a super-duper-directors-cameraman cut version of the same freakin DVD.
But not so for I Am Legend. The alternate ending was vastly superior to the theatrical ending. That should have been the ending. - Tyrghast, on 05/23/2008, -1/+12but but but but but but but but...
bear cavalry man! - warplayer, on 05/23/2008, -0/+11Speaking as a Christian, I fully agree. It just shows how lazy the writing was and how cheap of a plot device faith can be when just thrown in to try to make something "deep." Should have kept religion out of a zombie movie (which originally was a vampire novel).
- Hangly, on 05/24/2008, -0/+11There's a head zombie?
Camera focuses in on head zombie.
Head zombie looks like he's behaving intelligently.
Holy *****.
Something's going to happen.
What is it?
What does it mean?
I can't wait!

Oh. - tee349, on 05/24/2008, -0/+10why in the unholy ***** did they not use that ending? perfect
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10"Yes, coming to a peaceful reconciliation with your enemies is now more controversial than blowing them right the ***** up. "
Best line I've heard in a good while. - mwalker05, on 05/23/2008, -1/+10anybody who wants another take on I am Legend and the book its based off of should check out The Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston. Its a bit slower paced and less intense, but the vampire people are portrayed as being smart. its on netflix instant if you have an account.
- briankoenig03, on 05/23/2008, -0/+9Yes, the original ending was rejected because Smith's character would have been appeasing the zombies by realizing he was in the wrong. An appeaser just like Neville Chamberlain!
In the Hollywood ending, Smith instead acts like a Decider. - Alias12, on 05/23/2008, -0/+9Dont just blame it on hollywood, blame it on the entire dumbing down of entertainment and the willingness to accept people dont need to think.
Now lets go blow some more ***** up. - smek2, on 05/23/2008, -1/+10"The original ending is available as a bonus scene on the recent DVD release, where it is advertised as the "controversial original ending." Yes, coming to a peaceful reconciliation with your enemies is now more controversial than blowing them right the ***** up." -- sad but true. And it makes me so mad. There's nothing better and deeper then realize that all the hatred in the end is just wrong, but no, it has to be macho ***** and black and white mentality, the bad has to be killed at the end. Preferably with big explosions.
- petethepanda, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8They didn't digitally remove the blood from Die Hard 4, they digitally added it for the DVD release. The addition of swearing did much improve the feel of the movie (which surprised me to be honest), but the theatrical version still kicked WAY more ass than I thought it would.
- jgtg32a, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8Oh God that episode of South Park makes even more since now.
