One aspect that most people did not realize is that there is NO dramatic music during the entire movie!!! No build up music before an action scene or jump scare.
You're one of the few people who caught the meaning of the title on your own, from reactions I've seen. He is legend. He is *their* legend. He is their bogeyman. They don't think they're evil. They're just a new kind of human who can only come out at night, and while they're asleep, this dude is kidnapping and killing them.
But I think he missed the whole butterfly symbolism near the end... his little girl says in the flash back in car "look daddy, a butterfly" and then he sees butterfly tattoo on woman's neck near the end as well as the cracked glass resembling a butterfly. It's meant as God giving him a sign or that love wins out in the end.
Legend is referring to the bob marley and the wailers album. They wanted to make the world better injecting the world with their music to cure the hatred. He wanted to make the world better injecting the world with his cure.
@@bredincummings4381See, that’s the main difference between this and the original story. In the book and original movie, he wasn’t trying to cure anyone. All he wanted to do was kill every last one of them.
Your interpretation of the lead Dark Seeker’s words and thoughts is hilarious because of how spot-on it is. That is EXACTLY what he was roaring at Will, in essence.
True.. I prefer the alternate ending, too. He bringing the lady dark seeker out and the boss man picking up his woman, all of them walked out. Will and the others lived happily ever after !
@@Monicalake1 Dears are always getting chased by predators.The deer is not infected.They haven't gotten caught by zombies.The meat is good.The only thing is that it's airborne.I don't understapp
@@Monicalake1 Well, I think the meat is good if they didn't get scratched or anything. The running is nothing that's just running. The meat would be good.I think I would cook it and eat it🍽😉
I like the good ending that shows that these vampires have intelligence and feelings too (we were shown why the leader of the mutants took revenge). And in it the main character doesn't die absurdly like a kamikaze with an incendiary grenade.
Was that the alternate ending or was that the book ending? I remember an alternate ending where I think Will Smith survived but the book had the dude getting arrested by the vampires or something. It's been awhile lol
@TomBombadil89 It was the Alternate ending which was more closely related to the books. Also apparently it's the cannon ending now with the second one said to be ignoring the original ending.
@@TomBombadil89yea in the alternative ending will smith releases the mutated woman from her restraints because he realizes the mutant leader is her husband/bf. And he picks up his wife/gf and sees her as a human, he then defiantly roars telling the others to retreat and he gives will smith almost an acknowledgment that they will be back to be cured. Honestly I think this would’ve been a better ending🤣we get to realize there was still human left in the mutants, at least enough to care that much about one another and to realize they have been cured and this isn’t how they have to stay.
It wasn’t too well received cuz it was lowkey kinda weird but I enjoyed it and we know our boy survived this way and that is one of the only reasons it’s so good but mostly more intriguing
I usually pride myself on not being an overly emotional person, but I'm not gonna lie. When he was forced to put down his only friend in the entire world, I almost lost it. That hit me so hard because for me, its just me and my dog. And with my medical issues these last few years, my dog has been a lifeline for me, kind of like Sam was for him. I cant even image how hard that was. I know its fiction but still, that hit hard.
Poor Sam was the only one he had left🥺😭 His daughter gave him Sam to protect him and she died protecting him and saved his life. Thats man’s best friend right there, she’s free from all that scary crazy danger and chaos of that world now she can go to heaven to wait for him with his family… and they don’t have to wait for him too long because he went out like a hero too saving those 2 that saved him. He did it, he kept trying and never gave up and found the cure!💪 I mean losing Sam made him give up but God sent him a guardian angel to save his life because his work wasn’t done. 🔥👏😭LOVE this movie so much!!
To the darkseekers, Will Smith was the boogey man. Using his technology and near immunity to sunlight, he would come and go as he pleased, kidnapping and experimenting on them. None of those taken ever returned alive. That's his legend. The alternate ending is definitely more thought provoking, but not as cinematic.
Im not sure if anyone else left this comment but FUN FACT at 3:13 is shows a poster for Batman vs Superman which didn’t come out until 2016 and I Am Legend was released in 2007
I love how many comments here mention the better alternative ending. It's still such a shame that not everyone has seen it. It made it such a better movie overall.
Its so weird because when this movie finally became available on dvd i bought it immediately and the alternate ending was the ending it had for my dvd so i had never seen the version everyone was used to.
@@TomBombadil89 Yeah he's essentially sacrificed like a spectacle in front of all of the vampires. I don't believe we actually witness it, but we know what's coming in no uncertain terms, and Robert accepts his fate instead of trying to fight it.
If you didn't know, that woman on the table WAS tht leader's wife. That's why it was 'personal' BEEF for him😂💯💯🤟 Great job btw, Your content is amazing and it keeps me watching before I go to sleep now
Classic film, been a while since I last watched it. Here's some other apocalyptic/post apocalyptic movies you should check out, Leo: Escape From New York/Escape From L.A. Equilibrium Mad Max Trilogy The Book of Eli The Road 12 Monkeys 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later
I could not stand to have writing on my glasses like that. That would aggravate me to death. That being said, I can’t wait to see your reaction to this. I’m sure it’ll be fun as always.
In the original ending, the creatures were a more advanced intelligent people and the reason they had beef with Will was exactly because he kept taking their own and experimenting on them. Test audiences didn't like it, so they made an alternate ending for the final cut that shows Will going out like a hero to save mankind. They kept the original ending as a labeled "alternate ending" on home media releases though!
Appreciate you Leo. Thanks for the regular uploads. They're always a blast. I'm gonna keep asking though, The Warriors (Theatrical Cut) Can you dig it?
Will a legend for this movie man I love his performance so much, the writing, the messages and lessons and meanings man so sad but yet so meaningful and beautiful in its own way. Never give up, even when it seems hopeless, gotta keep fighting to shine a light in the darkness to light the way for others to help others. Peace n love man love everything they includes involving Bob Marley paying homage and respect to him and his life’s contribution to the world man. One love🙏💪🔥
gosh man this movie is beyond a masterpiece and true horror but man seing this as a kid at my aunts house in abeline tx on a dingy old tv to rewatching it at my brother and sisters dads place as a teen this movie brings alot of memories back for me fr
Also in the novels the Darkseekers the monsters in the movie are basically Vampires not zombies that's why they hate sunlight and they're super pale and unless you're immune to the airborne strain you're already turned for sure. Plus if you're not immune to the contact strain like Will Smith then when one of them bites you or something like that you'll be infected with it
Hi been here since you reviewed songs that youve never heard before. You were so funny you still are and the most important you still yourself you dodnt change i love your channel ❤️ from 🇬🇧
The fact Leo said it was the dark seekers that captured Will on the first attempt seeing this movie is incredible. I never saw that before. But it makes sense the dark seekers saw what he was doing to them by capturing and using them to find a cure. They used his own tactics against Will to capture him in defense. I never understood that but after seeing the alternate ending I see the dark seekers viewed Will as the evil one trying to kill them. Mind blown
Will once said that he isn't the best actor and that he just works harder.. I think that's actually the whole secret.. nobody is born and immediately great at everything but Will has definitely become one of the best around.
He was saving the bacon for Sam, dogs need meat to survive. That's also why he was probably so intent on hunting, humans can technically survive without meat, getting nutrients other ways and if they keep everything balanced it's sustainable, he'd have known that as a scientist, but dogs just can't survive healthily without a meat based diet.
A cool interesting fact about the Darkseekers is that they wanted a more human like sound so instead of using stock sound effects of monsters or whatever they got Mike Patton of Faith No More fame to do their voice/scream.
"I'm a black guy if you couldn't tell." Ohhhhhh... I thought the camera just hadn't adjusted yet. I'm sittin here messin with the brightness of my monitor like "It's NOT Working!!" 😂😂
Ya I killed my dog but he was dying of cancer & his dysplasia & there's not a day that goes down I don't think or miss him more than life it's self. I miss my son 😢
100% agree. I never seen the alternate ending until I watched another reaction channel showed the alternate ending. To each their own but this main theatrical ending is better IMO… I’m very happy Mr. Video chose to watch the original ending
@@sagac1ous856 Technically Leo watched the "alternate ending". Movie is based off of a book. The book's ending; happy feel-good shit. Hollywood's ending; giant explosion, goes out like a badass. (:
This is remake of a Classic. The first, The Last Man on Earth with The great Vincent Price. The next and best one, The Omega Man with the equally great Charlton Heston. The Omega Man is a must watch!
Leo, the reason why the boss of the dark seekers (zombies), was so desperate to get Will, was because the one that he captured and treating, was his woman, his girlfriend.
I saw this when it came out in the movie theater as a kid with my grandmother and cousin. All we knew was that Will Smith was in it. My cousin left @ 18:30
I imagine he wanted the deer to eat, in the future. It takes a while to process one, prepare it, etc. Put it on ice, and it will last as long as the ice does.
One aspect that most people did not realize is that there is NO dramatic music during the entire movie!!! No build up music before an action scene or jump scare.
Leo understood this movie better than some of the professional reviewers who saw it back in the day.
Dude for real
He's a great reviewer.
22:27 he was saving the bacon for sam, it was a reward for anytime she finished her veggies
Great, now I'm teary eyed again... DAMN IT! lol

His acting in this is underated. The sam scene and please say hello to me really hits hard
I HIGHLY recommend watching the alternate ending!!!! it changes the entire ending, DRASTICALLY, and honestly it makes it so much better IMO.
True.. I prefer the alternate ending, too. He bringing the lady dark seeker out and the boss man picking up his woman, all of them walked out. Will and the others lived happily ever after !
They’re also using the alternate ending for the second movie
This was the first time i saw this ending. The dvd i have has a different ending
Yep definitely better. Makes more sense too.
@@XboxPHILLYGAMER12second movie?
Between choking out your own dog and asking a mannequin to please respond...I got very caught up in the intensity
I think he still wanted the deer for food because there aint no meat around.Just canned food and stuff.He has some bacon saved
Wouldn't the deer meat be ruined from being terrified during the chase.

“Look like his son & wife.” lol Leo he had a daughter. Crazy thing, the child actor is his real life daughter willow.
I love how many comments here mention the better alternative ending. It's still such a shame that not everyone has seen it. It made it such a better movie overall.

Its so weird because when this movie finally became available on dvd i bought it immediately and the alternate ending was the ending it had for my dvd so i had never seen the version everyone was used to.
Sam was a real one. Never seen tears in a movie theatre like the scene where Sam dies.
This is one of the BEST SADDEST REALEST MOVIES IVE EVER SEEN..... I CRY EVERYTIME...... WILL SMITH GONNA HELD HOSTAGE FOR THIS MOVIE..... 😪😪😪😪
I love this movie in the 1950s book robert neville does die, same with original movie. Glad you got the original ending.

"Year One" Jack Black. Pleas react.
YES or Land of the Lost with Will Farrell 😂
@magua6157 Land of the lost is hilarious 😂
Thanks for always coming with that content!
I Am Legend is like Cast Away with Tom Hanks... Will and Tom seem to carry movies even with little dialog.

Greatest reviewer Leo this is a banger of a movie man thank you sir can’t wait for the next video bro 👍
You have gotta see the alternate ending to this movie, it explains a lot more as to why the infected leader guy was gunning for Will! It is deep!
Also in the novels the Darkseekers the monsters in the movie are basically Vampires not zombies that's why they hate sunlight and they're super pale and unless you're immune to the airborne strain you're already turned for sure. Plus if you're not immune to the contact strain like Will Smith then when one of them bites you or something like that you'll be infected with it

the ALT ending is better imo, and that's the one they are going with, coz Will is in I Am Legend 2...

Yes they did the new I Am Legend movie is coming soon.
I read the book by Matheson a couple years before this movie came out. In the book it's a white guy in LA.
Not alot of people know when Will Smith did this movie that little girl was his real daughter willow ...
Train to busan ,thats my wish Leo
There’s an alternate ending where Will does not die and they are using that to create a part two which is coming out fairly soon
"Light up the darkness..."
This is remake of a Classic. The first, The Last Man on Earth with The great Vincent Price. The next and best one, The Omega Man with the equally great Charlton Heston. The Omega Man is a must watch!
Cool reaction!
The last man on earth *1964
The omega man *1971
R worth watching
Anyone interested should Check out the alternate ending, there is a sequel coming out and it uses the alternate ending instead of the orginal.
Imagine Sam was John Wick's dog. This plague would be no more within a day!
Leo, the reason why the boss of the dark seekers (zombies), was so desperate to get Will, was because the one that he captured and treating, was his woman, his girlfriend.
