this be the second filmed version of richard matheson novel and i be legend and the first be the last man on earth and star vincent price and and the third bear the same title a the novel and and star will smith . i really enjoy the first version and and pretty much hat the third version . this version be and much close to the third version and in term of my opinion of it . i find a lot of this movie lame and lack in any real excitement . the acting be pretty poor ( though heston wasn not too bad ) . i also felt the movie be a bit too talky at time and and there be no real air of mystery to the story . have say that and there be one good thing about it . this one have a plot and ( as slow a it be ) which i felt the third one do not . it be just this side of boring and for the most part and occasionally slip over into the area of boredom . i be able to get through it . but i wouldn not care if i never saw it again . it just really do not anything for me . my vote for the omega man be a negative .
