I liked some of the background music. That's pretty much all I can say for this one.

While it's a poor adaptation of Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend", it's a fairly fun 70s action/sci-fi film that works on its own so long as you're not expecting a faithful adaptation.

Easily the worst of the various adaptations of "I Am Legend". Full of 1970's cliche, it really hasn't stood the test of time very well, and Heston is almost unwatchable as the films lead. For the most part this is very poor, and only its concept saves it from complete oblivion!

Charlton Heston is finally typecast as a self-involved gun maniac on a power trip, with a penchant for shooting pseudo-religious hippies! This is the film equivalent of Limburger: you need a peculiarly discerning palate for this kind of stinky cheese. The surfeit of aviators and the terrible score made this crazy-awful-awesome.

I was a big fan of I Am Legend, minus the terrible cgi, and I was beyond excited to see this movie. Then I saw it and was pretty bored and disappointed with it. It had some good moments, but all together I'd rather watch the new one. And yes, the music didn't fit at all.

Meh. Incredibly dated and the music is godawful jarring.

Better than I thought it would be. Kind of goofy and steers pretty far from the source material, but a lot of fun. I always forgot how much one could get away with in a PG-rated film years ago.

However appealing may be the idea of being one of the few survivors of an apocalypse, nevertheless this film manages to get almost nothing right.

I wish I could like this. I like the premise, that's about it. I can enjoy cheese but this didn't do it for me, and some of the scenes were just so poorly done. The ending was awful. I wish I could have seen this back in 1971. Usually I can take into consideration that a movie is old and so I don't expect certain things, however, this movie is really dated. A good script is something that doesn't age, and this movie doesn't have it. I could have forgiven a lot had it had that one thing.

campy but a good, fun, and thrilling ride. laughable at times, but has a very real and dark atmosphere to it throughout the film.

A real Stink Bomb

great sci-fi, great comedy! who the hell "the family" got those black cloaks? some huge holes and absurdities in the script despite the great original book. nevertheless we can ignore the technological deficiencies thanks to the ideas behind.

While this film is extremely dated it was a decent 1970's post-apocalyptic thriller.

Charlton Heston as a lone survivor of the apocalypse? Ah hell, who's he going to gun down and deliver long-winded soliloquies to? Thank God for zombies.

I'd been told this was better than I am Legend's recent adaptation, but this is a lie. I have never heard a more inappropriate and distracting soundtrack...

More like a blaxploitation!

The scene with the catapult was golden.

Interesting concept, very TVish.

Great premise. I don't really care for the execution, but there's nothing that offensive about it.

the music detracts from the movie, butt other than that it was a pretty good film, for its time.

What the hell is that...

Not very good at all, the worst of the "I Am Legend" adaptations. I wonder if filmmakers in the 70's knew just how poorly the music would age. Oh and the jive-talking token black character, ugh.

I like the premise a lot (I haven't yet seen I Am Legend's other adaptations), the "family" are great villains (the best villains, for me, are those that a deluded enough to think that they are saviors/heroes), and I dig the aggressive Heston character. The first and last parts (Heston vs. family) are the best, but the middle lags. Also it's pretty dated.

Low on thrills, high on hokiness

Cheesy yet fun sf/horror adventure. See Chuck try to talk 60s and watch _Woodstock_ in his endeavor to bend over backwards to appeal to the then-modern youth market

Now this is a classic!

Good film.

Pretty weak adaptation of I am Legend, complete with Heston's ridiculous motorcycle stunts and overstuffed with Christ-imagery.
