Just got back... I liked it. Very cool to see NYC completely deserted. Entertaining movie, and I loved Will Smith.
I, too, thought he should have thrown the grenade past the glass, but I can see why he didn't.

Anyone wonder how the girl and boy got on and off the island? The tunnel was flooded and the bridges blown to crap.

Better off silent
I am sure they could have borrowed a boat and no one would have minded and it was probably the same one they came in on.

right, but he then could have gone out through that little door that the lady and her kid did...

i thought it was okay. not great, not bad. I will ask this though. How many movies has Will Smith made where he's literally responsible for saving the planet? Two MIBs, Independence Day, I Am Legend, I Robot... that's 5 off the top of my head.

The problem
I thought it was okay, the infected people were pretty weak. Are we really supposed to believe a virus turned a human into a Star Wars character?

It wasn't a door to anywhere. It was an incenerator door. The lady and kid just waited until morning to come out. If he had gone in there the monsters would have kept coming after them and they would have been trapped. He saved them by killing the monsters and himself.

i didn't read the book, but it was something like this, a clever twist, that i expected rather than a mere zombie movie, which i found disappointing. it was 28 days later with better writing. i would have liked to have seen something more along the lines of how you describe the book.
It's a good thing he found an infinite supply of "Sta-bil" so that he could stabilize all the gasoline in the city so it would burn 1000 days later.... Likewise, nice that he could get an entire genetic engineering and serum lab into the basement of his NY townhome...
Intense and depressing. Some great visuals and at least a B+ acting job by Will Smith. Overall, 2.5 out of 4 stars.
Glad I saw it at matinée prices

Saw it with my son today. We both liked it. I kept thinking that the zombies were just trying to get the female back. I thought it would turn out that they were smarter than he thought and that they viewed him as the bad guy for kidnapping one of them, and they were just trying to rescue her.

I just read today that the original ending had Will Smith's character give the girl zombie back and then they left him alone, and then he and the other two all went to Vermont together. Apparently it tested poorly so they changed it.

While I would have loved for Neville to have survived and gone on to Vermont I know that it wouldn't have been a good ending for the movie. Now, it would have been an awesome ending only if his family was in Vermont .... but it makes sense ...
his wife and daughter die, his dog dies, and then he dies
Plus.... He was partially responsible for the creation of the virus in the first place....
Him dying at the end did make sense.

As to your spoiler:
What? Where did you get that idea from? He was responsible for finding a cure. Not for creating the vaccine. At least I think I'm right.
Heu....
Heu... you might well be right... I don't think it was ever specifically said he was part of the team that came up with the cure for cancer. However, because of his repeated insistence that "I can fix this," he gave me the impression that he bore some responsibility for the mess. Anyone else have a take on this?

Neville might be responsible for the virus,
and he was immune to it in the movie right?
how was that?

I think because he lost everything, he felt if he fixed it, it would bring everything back. Some British lady created it.
Yeah, I know she was the one on the interview, but he could well have been "on the team" that invented the cancer cure. His attitude just seemed to me to convey some ownership, cuz he was so into finding the cure (without having anyone identified who was afflicted). Guess we both could be right, as nothing was really said either way.
