be a charlton heston fan ( a a result of the first two planet of the ape film ) and i find myself first in line the wednesday the omega man open . the newspaper ad have look spooky represent chuck and arm with a machine gun and be fire into surround darkness . the last man on earth and the copy read and . be not alone . so and there i be and snatch up a couple of the freebie lay on the concession counter mock up newspaper feature news from the end of the world . there be black and white shot from the movie . i be hook . the movie itself be a mixed bag and even then . the last man on earth wasn not exactly alone and after all . nor do he have to do his own stunt . still and the movie be great and if for no other reason than charlton heston performance . that be 1971. three decade later and while it definitely date and it still an entertaining movie to watch . vastly inferior to the novel upon which it be loosely base ( richard matheson brilliant i be legend and adapt by the corringtons and the husband and wife team who also give u the abyssmal battle for the planet of the ape ) and it nonetheless hold up a a good sf shocker still notable for heston performance . ( one can only imagine what could have be work have they opt to do the novel the justice it deserve . ) this be the second time around for i be legend while perhaps the third time will be the charm .
