Despite the fact that this is directed by the guy behind CONSTANTINE, I for one am getting pretty stoked about this.

I really like the look of this. Mind you, I liked the first teaser too, and I don't have this all-round hatred of Will Smith that so many seem to, but I hope he's in serious mode for this. It seems like it from the darker parts of the trailer anyway.

Read the book first - books are usually better than film adaptions:-

The book is great a definite recommended (one of the Sci fi masterworks series - book 2?) - really looking forward to this.

I love the book, cant believe something so short can be so awsome. Read it now, its perfect for one sitting at about 200 odd pages but not a wasted bit prose. And the mother of all endings. Very good and if the movire manages to be half as good we're in for a good show. Cant stand Omega Man and never seen Last Man the prev adaptions.

The Novel is an undisputed classic. The first trailer for the movie didn't fill me with much optimism. This second trailer is much better. I sincerely hope that there aren't to many changes from the book and that the themes(and the wonderful downbeat ending) are retained.
This is begining to look like a must see.

Oh shit. Looks like the dog dies then, I hate films where the dog dies.

Went along today and for the most part enjoyed it, but...

Why were the mutants all CGI and shit with it? In the never better 'Omega Man' they are real people who wear sun glasses and monk outfits and are clinically insane - and a lot more scarey because of it. Here it's just a lot of screaming and running.

The set up is good and flashbacks are peppered throughout which helps the pacing. The bits were Neville is unhinged, such as him talking to shop dummies, are a bit off puting and again failed to surpass Charleton who talked to himself in the cinema instead.

The final act that sees a woman and cute kid show up totally throws the whole film off and the ending is really unsatisfactory.

All in all a worthy effort that could have been so much better. 6/10

Oh and the dog gets bitten and he strangles it.

Got the book for Chrimbo and read it on the day. Fantastic book. I can't expect the film to come anywhere near it, but I'm still looking forward to the film.

The novel or graphic novel PJ? The Steve Niles book is great and a faithful reproduction of the novel. The Will Smith film retains the title, character name and set up but that's it. The stuff at the end, which makes sense of the title, is lost completely.
