I guess this was just better than I expected it to be. I really did think it was gonna be a pale imitation of 28 Days Later, and it kinda was, but I was still pleasantly surprised by it. There were a few errors in the film too, but I can live with that.

Let me clarify just a bit. The special effects on the current film are far and away better (37 years later). What I felt was better about the Heston version was the script and the pacing.
I thought Will Smith did a fine job in "I Am Legend". It just seemed like the "Deer Chase" burned a lot of time with (for me) little addition to the film. To me it was a display of "look at what we can do with CGI", just for the sake of doing it.
It would not have hurt my feelings if "I Am Legend" had been 30 minutes longer and borrowed a bit more from "The Omega Man".
