    Eh? Bolt what?

    It's a Norinco M304, an exact clone of the original M14 rifle, complete with receiver cutouts to allow installation of a full-auto selector.

I thought he would have been liike boom chikky wowow. You know after like beating off to shrek for three years and all lol. Jokes. Great movie, ending was suspect but supposedly there will be an alternate ending on the dvd. The legend bit was neville suposedly being a legendary vampire hunter not a legendary suicide bomber lol

    Yeah, it's worth reading up on the film on Wikipedia. The long history of the project (it was kicked off in 1996 and was originally supposed to star Arnold Schwarzenegger and be directed by Ridley Scott!) is interesting.

    It was more of a last minute "shall we go to the movies" thing. Thoroughly enjoyed myself too. And would recommend it to anyone that hasn't been.

    So what is the "real" ending?

    because the movies one was a bit of an anti climax...

    Huh.
    I was reading the review in The Harold this morning (which basically said it wasn't very good), and thought exactly the same thing!
    It's funny I read this just now - a gurrrl in our office was just this moment saying how she couldn't sleep last night coz she was so skeeeeerrd after going to see the movie.
    I was too, after "The Omega Man", but then I was about 15 or summat at the time.

    That's sort of what The Harold said too - they thought it was very odd that the zombies had strange Spiderman-like powers.

    I must make a point of not going to see this movie...

    Wikipedia describes the book in detail.

    Pfft, I could of done that... but being the lazy sod I am, thought you would give me the condenced 2 sentence version of the ending.

    BTW - I agree it was pretty scary, modern day techniques makes stuff a lot more "graphic" - shudder....

    I walked in with one thought before I saw it "Jo, the dog is going to die... dont you dare cry...."

    Popular Mechanics (I think) did an article, apparently, on the plausibility of the various elements of the movie, such as Will Smith's character's approach to survival, the way the Brooklyn Bridge was demolished, the physiology of the 'Infected', etc.

    It's really not such a bad film. As 'boo' movies with decent plots and ideas go, it'd be near the top of the list. As good as 'Signs', in my opinion.

    And I'm not ashamed to say that I jumped in my chair and went 'eek' quite a few times while watching it. That's what I call 'value for money entertainment'.

    nih...the ending was fine, it was an ending.

    if it had been a mushy ending where he fell in love with the irish chick and escaped the vampire zombie you'd have moaned that it was a typical hollywood ending.

    ol robert didn't have a need to live any more, the only reason he'd continued living was to find the cure to the virius that he saw as taking his family.

    the movie is more psychological than most people pick up on, his own dementia, the psychology of the vampire zombies etc

    personally I loved it, if only the vampire zombies had been scarier...like 28 days later scary...which is also based on II am legend.

    same, I don't usually do horror for it's eternally damned cliches, camera angles and pathetic characters

    the 28 films though have been very cool, focusing as much on other problems but still keeping you shit scared.
