This was split from the 'War of the Worlds: A Critique' thread after it descended into I Am Legend spoilers. Edit - So to actually answer the question - Nervous Pete |

I meant to say earlier that he was excellent in Ali. That was when he first started showing some really significant range, too. I kept forgetting it was Will Smith when I watched that (two days before I chucked my first girlfriends, uncomfortable personal life reference fans!), which is a very good sign. |

I'm glad 6 degrees was mentioned, I think I'd seen in Fresh Prince and then Bad Boys, heard his songs and then watched 6 degrees. I was absolutely amazed at how well he could act in a serious role. I've always liked him, and like his nonsense films as well as his more serious ones. Ali also being a standout example. Coincidently I watched I am Legend 2 nights ago. I thought he was pretty good in that too. I've not seen the original film/book/ending/comic whatever so have nothing to compare it to, but it did seem a bit rushed. Malc |

The only debate comes with the translation of the book to the film |

There are many photos somewhere of Will Smith grinning at a bunch of tired, drunk, bearded doom idiots. I'll see if I can get hold of them, there's a great pic of us all in a street in Coventry; it looks like Will is a part of our grimm little gang. |

After it's over, make sure you look up the far superior 'alternate ending' to quell the rage you'll undoubtedly feel. |

My dream version would be set around 1914... so we could have the Royal Flying Corps being set alight by the Heat-ray, while little trucks with machineguns race around on the ground firing ineffectually up that the tripods. But there we go. I thought it was shit. |

I always liked how the electrical storms broke all the electrical equipment, cars and watches, except for the guy's camcorder, and later the film crew's cameras. Maybe the aliens just wanted to appear on television in case any talent scouts were watching. |
