I thought “I am Legend” was an improvement over “The Omega Man.” The Omega Man seemed pretty scary when I saw it as a kid, but I just watched it again, and now the zombies seem comically stupid to me as they are wearing monk-like robes and jumping down on people to attack them.

I preferred the original version "The Last Man on Earth", 1964, starring Vincent Price; which was much closer to the orignal novella by Robert Bloch.

Funny, I see the original story growing by accretion with each retelling.

I thought the novella excelled only in its plot, with the Vincent Price movie equally disappointing.

The latest version finally lived up to the quality of the original idea.
