The Last Man Standing was surprisingly close to I Am Legend until the last third, maybe quarter of the movie, in which the plot shifted considerably. Regardless, both these movies suck. I can only hope that I Am Legend with Will Smith will be a more faithful telling than The Omega Man and a more interesting telling than The Last Man Standing. Certainly it will not suffer for the poor budget and production standards that these movies suffered...but they could still go horribly wrong...as they often do. let’s be clear, without giving important plot points of the book away, while The Last Man standing was closer than The Omega Man, but that’s not saying much considering The Omega Man was on of the biggest bastardization of a “based on” that I have ever seen.
