Both films seem to completely trail off from the original mood, meaning, and structure of its written counterpart.

I'll still see it but I'll in no way expect anything like the book. I just wish, as Pete said, that they didn't slap the same title on an otherwise "original" movie.
I was just making this exact same comparison to I Am Legend yesterday, after I watched World War Z. Its easy to judge each film on its own without comparison to the books, because they really have very little in common with them.
