When that zombie thing tries to break the glass, will tells like the mother and the son to go into the safe. Why couldnt he just go into the safe and then just threw the grenade then quickly close the safe? I also thought that the ending was pretty bad.

I think he just felt as though there was nothing left for him. the whole time he was bent on saving humanity....fixing the problem and I think that once he found the disease he figured he had no reason to go on as he already felt that no one else was alive in the world. He did what he was suppose to....he found a cure

I didn't like the ending at all! but i think it was because Neville did not believe that there was a survivors colony at all, he had lost the only "thing" sammy that he cared about and he had no point in living anymore. Plus if he would have done this it would have risked the lives of the woman and the child so that they would never have had a chance to get the cure to the people in the survivors colony. If he did not close the safe fast enough they may have all been killed. I still hated the ending!!!

According to Neville, the vampires wouldn't stop chasing him until they killed him.
More likely, though, was that they had reshot the ending to give Neville a hero's death, rather than following the original book the film was based on.
You see, in the book, it turns out that "Anna" (there was no little kid) was actually a vampire herself. Some of the vampires had found a way to suppress their disease, and were slowly trying to rebuild society. She had been sent to spy on Neville; the man was like the bogeyman of the new vampire society -- he stalked the vampires while they slept and captured them to use as guinea pigs for his experiments.
You have to understand that this was the underlying theme of the original story -- when humanity has been replaced on Earth by the vampire, the last man on earth suddenly IS the monster. The scene where Anna and Neville are in the lab, looking at the snapshots of the failed experiments, takes on a whole new meaning when you understand this original context -- Anna is HORRIFIED at all her fellow vampires that Neville has MURDERED; and here she is in the lair of the beast!
In the book, Neville is captured by the vampires and is about to be executed by the new vampire government. As a final gesture of mercy, "Anna" gives Neville a suicide capsule; and as Neville prepares to end his life he looks out the window of his cell and sees how terrified the vampires of him. He understands that he's no longer just a man in their eyes; he's this mythical, legendary monster -- which is what the title really means.
I'm pretty sure they re-filmed the end of the movie -- there's a couple shots of Neville captured in the trailer that didn't seem to be in the film itself. Hopefully they'll offer the original ending in the DVD version.

cuz thats how it is in the book
this movie followed the book better than the other two adaptations ("The Last Man on Earth" and "The Omega Man")
but personally, i felt the same way. my explanation is this:
Will smith lost his family and eventually his only companion, Sam. the only reason he stayed in NYC was because it was "ground-zero" and he felt it was his responsibility to find the cure. At the end of the movie, he does find the cure and gives it to Anna. This eliminates any reason for Will Smith to live because he has no family, no friends (Anna and Ethan werent really friends in my mind, but thats open to interpretation), and by blowing the grenade, he insures the cure will be safe.

I didn't see this movie myself but my dad did...He was actually asking the same questions....He was saying "He didn't need to go after them with the grenade himself. He could've just thrown it and taken cover."
My dad hated the movie....He said it was the worst movie he's seen in a long time. It left him on the edge of his seat waiting for more.

He wanted to make sure that they were all dead I guess. Although, if hes dead he really can't do anything more.
It was kinda bad to end that way, and that suddenly.
