The Banned I AM LEGEND Ending!, page 1

I was deeply offended by the ending to I AM LEGEND that glorified suicide bombers. Knowing this film would play the Middle East, I consider it reckless in the extreme to portray suicide bombers as heroes. Guess what? There was an alternative ending. Not only was the unused ending better than the John Wayne style heroics at the end of the film, but it's closer to the feeling of the book. What's next Hollywood? Making heroes of plane hijackers? Watch the alternative ending here- BEFORE IT GETS TAKEN DOWN!
Sadly, that no one involved in the process of making this film had a problem with portraying a suicide bomber as a hero shows how out of touch we all are with terrorism.

It's more than a bit of a stretch to say that scene that depicts Will Smith blowing himself up with a hand grenade to take out a bunch of zombies in any way glorifies real world terrorists.

I don't really agree with the OP's idea that this movie glorifies suicide bombers at all. I did find another website with the alternate ending though as it seems to have been removed from the site in the original post.

the "Zombies in love" theme justifies a good portion of the movie IMO. Right after Smith captures "Barbie" Zombie, "Ken" zombie freaks and chases her out into the sun. Smith then records how the "Nightstalkers" have lost all semblance of societal structure, clearly misinterpreting Ken's reaction to Barbie's capture as base hostility and nothing more. The capture of Barbie results in Ken's quest for retribution against smith's character which would not have happened if in fact the "Zombies" had not been in love.

Two things to remember.

These are not Zombies. They are humans with a disease.

The book recounts how Smith's character became "Legend" because he was able to move around in the sunlight and went about murdering and capturing the Infected. He became a legend in the same sense as Dracula or a Werewolf type character is legend or Myth even. In the book only the infected survived and with no uninfected people left to be compared to they became normal people.

In my opinion the "they all lived happily ever after and cured the disease" ending was much more Hollywood. The whole movie was ruined by the 10 minute Ford Mustang commercial in the beginning.

Alternative ending would have saved the movie. The moment after the Zombies left and he looks at all the pictures on the wall and realizes that he was in fact the monster. Nice

I do not see the tie to Suicide Bombers at all. Sounds like something the OP may have heard on Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck.

Well the suicide bombers we know today, sacrifice their lives to blow up innocent people. The goal of suicide bombing is to cause terror. Is this what Will Smith's character did in the movie? If so, I guess it would be a fair comparison.
