I do not really know why, but this movie really rocks - it has great atmosphere, really cool performance by Charlton Heston and it was very enjoyable. I was satisfied as much, as it was possible.
I do however, have a doubts with calling this 'an adaptation' of the novel 'I am Legend'. There is no real connection - many elements were present in the book, but others were altered or added - and, in my opinion, those changes went that deep, that this movie stands on his own. Overall idea is other for the movie and for the novel. It is very hard to make a one-actor movie for 2 hours. That what is great in the novel, doesn't necessary look so good in the movie. That is completely different type of media.
But for adapting the idea itself - About a regular guy fighting alone with the nations of creatures he doesn't fully understand - it comes closer than 2007 movie.
So movie is great, give it a watch, but read the book afterwords - you'll be still surprised.

Extremaly bad movie. It seems that actors knew that it is going to be bad and they look embarrassed saying those over the top lines and terrible, cheesy speeches. In fact, Daniel Olbryski seems to make fun of his very own character. Maybe Zebrowski was trying to do something about this abomination of nature, however he fails miserably. This film is an insult for every fan of the book and every fan of fantasy fiction. Thank god someone made a game based on a book and altered English title (from Hexer to The Witcher). The most punishing and painful memory, that i remember from watching this disaster is the scene when Dragon, the only special effect in the movie appears. He looks like he belongs to the video game from times of first PlayStation and Nintendo 64- just terrible. Considering everything written above, this movie should be considered to be a easiest, however most painful, way of committing suicide.
