I agree with others that said the first half of "I Am Legend" was better than the second. The ending was what annoyed me since it personally felt like a cop out. The religious aspect of providence, etc, was cool but seemed a bit sudden or forced since it came suddenly towards the end. I liked the spiritual themes but I wished they would have been better developed towards the begining rather than with Anna's random remark at the end "God told me to..."

I thought the book had a cool plot and made sense with the title I Am Legend, where as this movie doesnt develop Neville as a "legend" per se.
