    I Am Will Smith

    That is the only film in that whole list that people should have even bothered seeing, let alone listing as their favorite.

    thatd an odd pick wocky, since you don't appreciate it when things stray from their source material

    I don't mind changes, so long as they are well thought out and add something to the overall artistry. For instance, I am a huge fan of both the original Planet of the Apes film, and even more enthusiastically of the reboot series, but both of those diverge widely from the novel on which they were based.

    I don't understand the grammar of that sentence. I don't even know what Turner & Hooch is. I have no idea why there are a bunch of crazy animal movies bunched in with a Will Smith classic.

    Did you see how quickly Wocky apologised publicly to Diggy for an error in the Star Wars thread.

    It was, as time lengths go, appropriate.

    Meaning, he can do it.

    Well thought out, like how the book I am Legend was trying to show Robert Neville as the true monster and largely portrayed vampires sympathetically which the movie completely ignored and pretty much changed the entire point of the story?

    Well thought out doesn't mean "same as the original." It means well thought out. It would have been stupid to take any point away from the story. Instead, this version was an extended meditation on loneliness. It was a powerful reassertion of the long-held mantra "no man is an island" amidst an incipient tide of libertarianism. In that way, the message of film is especially powerful and relevant in the age of Donald Trump.
