Now see, I am just the opposite. I wasn't a big fan of Omega Man but love The Last Man in Earth.
As far as I Am Legend goes, I thought it was enjoyable enough. I enjoy most of Will Smiths movies, and this one was no exception.
It did stray well away from the book, but for a "reimagined" effort, it was decent enough and worth a watch.

_____________________________________________
Good comments, Wade! 
We all know how difficult it is to enjoy a movie which was based on a book we loved, if the movie makes changes we resent. It's also hard to enjoy a remake if we loved the original and the new version is different in certain ways.
A person's expectations and preconceived ideas can spoil our enjoyment of a movie, regardless of how good it is in it's own unique way.
