    I am Legend 2 Disc Special Edition

    Just a heads up really, seems to be the threatrical version and another version with an alternate ending

    http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/32744.../Product.html#

    Any news on the US version of this DVD release? You guys usually get better extras, better packaging and extra goodies (as proved by the "Troy Directors Cut - Ultimate Edition" that I received today).
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    All I've heard about the DVD, aside from the alternate cut, is that the extras are piss poor - *ahem* double-dip alert people ... *the world stands unsurprised*

    I enjoyed the film but wondered why they didn't use real actors as the vampires ? The CGI creatures were uninspired and not scary at all (Hard to be scared of cartoon characters).

    It also lacked more vaps and scenes of 'horror'.

    Overall, I enjoyed it, but forgettable.

    They went with CGI zombies because human actors venting like they were meant to would have collapsed.

    Quicker cuts would have easily solved that problem. A human could rapidly vent for a few seconds, then cut the angle or something.

    Or CGI on top of the people themselves surely? If they can make Transformer bots, they can make some hyper-breathe.

    If you want to save yourself some money....here's the alternate ending.

    Although it's still not the book's ending, it's better than the one we got, imo.

    I think that was a waaaaaay better ending than what was shoved onto the movie before. Much better...although I'd have preferred Smith to do the final voice over rather than whats'ername, whose character was a bit of a nuisance to be honest. When she cropped up the film took a dive...at least that ending you've linked to would have/does pick it up at the end to be a bit more in line with the first two thirds.

    And it also makes sense of the whole "infected leader" subplot. In the theatrical cut it's never explained. You're just left wondering why you keep seeing the same guy....

    that ending is like 100 times better than the one we originally saw and it makes way, way more sense. thanks for putting this up bass.

    Crrrrrrrrrrrrrap

    I think if they had just called it something else i'd be more forgiving. but the movie was just pointless ****. Smith had moments in it that were just amazing, but from a directive and overall standpoint the movie captains it's own failboat all the way back to suckalot harbor, where it promptly sank.

    I don't care what ending you take on, nothing makes that film suck any less.

    In my mind it's entertaining once or twice. Not much depth to it, but good to forget about your troubles for an hour and a half. Same as Dawn04, actually.

    Scratch that.....this film is still better than Dawn04. On several different levels.
