I caught the film last Saturday and I think it is excellent. I have not read the trilogy but I plan to do so now. I certainly hope that the film is successful enough to justify the full trilogy. I wouldn't put the film in on the level of the Ring films yet but if they make the other two with each better than the last like the Ring films it will be a classic.

I mentioned to a casual friend that I was planning to see it and he told me that there is an email going around that the movie is about killing god and the holy trinity. I laughed out loud.

I also saw the I Am Legend remake (no. 3 or 4?) and it was so-so at best
