"I Am Legend" Banned?

I can see your point in that. The only "good" movies I've seen from China are kung-fu type films. They have that down to a T, but everything else seems to be a struggle.

the movie called "the criature" was a very non american movie, i simply loved the idea of making the criature running loose like an wild animal......
but yeah, china blocked but they can't block all the movies.....

Unfortunately, that's basically every other horror slasher flick in existence, it's been done to death.

I'm not surprised at all, but I will never understand why. Apparently China has also banned all Hollywood Movies for the next three months in order to "protect its film industry". It's crazy.

This was the country that cut from Pirates of the Caribbean 2/3 scenes of cannibalism and Zhou Runfa's parts for seemingly no reason. The censoring is so strict I wonder if anyone there can still make any sense of any foreign film being shown anymore.

Truth is, the vast majority of people there who watch foreign films watch bootleg DVDs. It's just the way it is, so chances are, if you have a friend living in China and you want him/her to watch film X uncensored, it's usually no trouble at all.
