10 Ridiculous Movie Moments That Made Everyone Irrationally Angry
5. The Sacrifice - I Am Legend
\I am legend is a great film and anyone who says otherwise has a heart of coal. The film ends with Will Smith’s Robert Neville trying to reason with murderous vampires before they kill him and his new friends. Once he learns there’s no hope, he stashes the woman and child in a crawl space and blows himself up and all the nasties with him.
Anna even begged Neville to join them, “There’s enough room,” but he responded that, “They won’t stop.” He grabbed a grenade and ran full steam at the enemy. Fans clamored that he probably could have just thrown the grenade and then quickly joined his friends and lived, and to that I say…you’re not wrong.
There’s even a deleted scene in which Neville lives, but it just doesn’t feel right. The film is called I am Legend, his family (and now his best-friend/dog) are gone, and he already tried to kill himself once before. It is a sad moment and one that could have been avoided had the character wanted to, but I’d argue he didn’t.
