If you remember, during Washington's badass phase, he has been repeatedly shot and is bleeding to death. Actually, he has been bleeding out since he was shot in the initial kidnapping. In other words, it took everything he had left to fight this last battle. Now that the girl is safe, he can let go (plus, he wanted to die anyway at one point.) I loved the ending.

I didn't bring them up and they're not exactly like the book, but they're closer than the Will Smith version. Good pointing out those two films.

The ending was such a non-event that it completely killed the drama, humour and special effects that made the movie shine in the first three quarters.

The ending was changed, period. Second, it was only marginally better. We get to see that the creatures have some sort of society, or at least feel emotional attachment, but it doesn't come close to the book and still doesn't make the title of "I am Legend" make sense.

The producers made the director reshoot it and give us an ending that made absolutely no sense. The "alternate ending" also differs from the book but it fits much more in line with the story that came before it. Plus, it set it up for sequels instead of killing the main protaganist off.

When I Am Legend came out, everybody loved it, and I thought it sucked, like you said, just because of the ending. It was a good movie, fun to watch, but the ending just killed it. I thought I was the only one. Ha. Good to hear you feel the same. Exactly, I agree. When I Am Legend came out, everybody loved it, and I thought it sucked, like you said, just because of the ending.
