I'd say it's more like Captivity. Better, though.

I Am Legend ~ first of all, I LOVE the story, so probably not a big shock that I didn't care much for this movie. It started off very promising....the first hour or so was pretty good....but unfortunately the CGI kind of ruined it for me.

We Own the Night ~ it wasn't bad....but I was a bit disappointed. The acting was fine, the story was fine....but it just wasn't very memorable. Not a terrible way to pass a couple of hours though.

I thought I am Legend was an alright film as far as action films go. But story can be so much more - and that is evident by some of the earlier adaptations.

The action was "big" and "spectacular" but the film, the characters didn't have the same depth and charm as in, say, The Omega Man.

So yeah, as a SFX spectacular it was ok, as a story it was pretty forgettable.

yeah i was really taken with that one as well.

it could have been really easy to have made a sloppy job of this but the filmmakers kept their focus on the detail and had a great cast to work with.

Dreamcatcher

pretty terrible, but kept me entertained for the simple fact that it was completely nuts.
