Lame. I'm glad that they didn't choose this ending for the theatrical release because it would have ruined the movie. Give the vampire-zombies feelings? Seriously? Besides it was way more climactic and badass when Will Smith found the cure and gave up his life to protect it. People just like this ending because they don't like to see heroes die and also want a sequel. In my opinion this movie is one that doesn't need a sequel because it's just so good that a sequel would more than likely kill the plot(just like Pirates). Besides, most sequels today suck anyways and are just made for the money.

for those of you who think that the creatures showed no humanistic or compationate qualities at all until this ending, your wrong... all throughtout the movie they showed that that guy was that womens husband you could tell... i think this was a much better ending because it made more sense with what they had already done in the movie

Facts are facts. Reguardless who says diffrent, the original ending sucked bad. The fact the hero dies, is over done in horror type flicks anymore. The showing in this, that even though they are changed, they still hold humanistic feelings, like love, would have been a huge story maker, and a sequal booster. This alternate ending would have made the movie that much better, and more a feeling that you was not let down couse of the long constant solo storyy line driven by one man and a dog. This gives more hope for what a sequal could be, and a better contection to the "zombied" humans, showing them to be savable, in which th whole movie was shooting for, and realistic.

Well to tell you the truth, if there was anything thats that glorious about the movie, it would have to be the ending. and by changing that, I think the movie just got ruined because we see too many movies where the villains turn good and turn out to be good at the end

humm, i loved the original ending but they should have used this ending if they was gona make a sequal with Smith in it..

the movie ending was definitely better but now I can see a sequel in it. This movie is great without a sequel but i wouldn't mind seeing a sequel now.

The original was definitely better because Will Smith's character needs to be sacrificed for dramatic effect. The zombies are a walking disease, and a cure must be found at all cost! The death of one person will save millions!!!

I like the other ending better it was more of a surprise.

i really like this ending too
i have to disagree with u i think the the compation between them should that their really is a hope at fixing everything

The ending wasn't bad. I like the fact that Will Smith's character lived through the whole thing. But I didn't like the zombies or whatevers embracing each other, that was pretty craptastic.

Much better, I might have enjoyed seeing this more in the theater had it had this ending.

yea it was better than the original.

The book ending was much better, and so much emotional.

Good alternative ending.

The Reason for the alternate ending is also because of the book since the movie it self was based on a book. If you loved the movie so much go out and read the book. I believe the book is much better then the movie and it is somewhat different but the book explains everything into greater detail and you understand everything better also

well, were do they go next? rhode island, Boston, new Hampshire? how do they find a cure, i didn't see any samples kept from the test person-thing... i didn't really like this ending. why would the things be a problem if they were still humain with feelings and minds?this ending leaves many questions. the other ending should stay being the original ending. i am legend was my favorite movie and this is why i am deeply into reviewing this. i am only 14 and don't really care, but when it comes to this movie, it is cool.

I think the more tragic ending makes the movie more dramatically powerful.

WOW that is so stupid its like Will has to die to make it good

I like both endings.

WHAT IN THE HELL was this lame ass shit. ok so the crazy, vampier like ppl have feelings at the end! im sooooooooo happy that this wasnt the thearter ending, god i would have killed some1 for this lame shit.

this was better than the original

this was better than the original

kool i like both endings

I like this ending better than the one they chose. I didn't want to buy the DVD that had the alternate ending, because I had already bought the regular version. I am glad I got to see it. I like this ending better, but if they chose this ending, somebody would make a sequal, and that wouldn't be good. You can't do something this good twice, and have it be just as good, if not better.

Wow, thanks a lot for the huge spoiler. In an article that didn't seem like it would give away anything from the movie, couldn't you have just said something like "it will be interesting to see how they would make a sequel" instead of dropping a bomb like that?

will be sequel?

cool ..........very good movie .

This is so awesome. I like both endings.

Okay this ending was far better. How sad that filmmakers think Americans need some canned structure for movies let alone endings.
It is insinuating we have no taste nor do we possess the ability to enjoy films that don't follow the formula.
Shame on you, Steven Spielberg! Will Smith is a brilliant actor, I see films on his name alone and this one is no exception, rather it is probably his best work other than Pursuit of Happyness so far in his career.
Next time, leave the original ending.

lol
