8. I Am Legend: Before The Legend
It's A Sequel To... I Am Legend (2007) One could easily argue that there is no movie type quite so asinine as that of the "prequel," because c'mon, when do they ever really work? And even if a prequel does come out okay in the end somehow, they're rarely able to reach very impressive heights in the drama department - we know who lives and dies already, and what's supposed to happen in the future, so what's the point? The point is that it doesn't matter, apparently: be quiet! If you've seen the first
I Am Legend with Will Smith, you'll know that his character, scientist Robert Neville, dies at the end, which means that the only way to expand this story is to go backwards. The rumoured sequel, since cancelled, was supposed to chronicle the end of the world, as Neville raced about trying to prevent it. So just another generic apocalypse movie, then? "Yup," said the fictional producer of this movie I just made up. "Exactly that."
Nutty Movie Sequel Rating: 7/10
