I Am Legend

Though the plot is familiar with the other remakes of Matheson's book Will Smith does a commendable and convincing job as the last man left alive. The story is about a man that tried to cure the virus that a doctor... Full review

Overall extremly great movie. Will Smith does a wonderfull job playing basically the only character in the movie. Very suspensfull for all 2 hours of the movie as well as being very scary without using any cheap tricks to get you... Full review

Will Smith is solid, believable, and entertaining. Setting is done very well. CG is way over done, an almost 28 weeks later gone video game.. Some intense scenes. Could have easily pleased audiences with 40 more minutes at the pace it... Full review

The 1954 sci-fi/vampire novel "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson has now been filmed three times: as "The Last Man On Earth" in 1964 originally scripted by Matheson himself (which I have never seen), as "The Omega Man" in 1971... Full review

Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way - Will Smith is excellent, as usual. The scenes of an abandoned New York are amazing, in much the same way as the shots of a deserted London in 28 Days... Full review

I hope this is the last incarnation of Richard Mathesons's brilliant classic. Why does Hollywood have to mess with perfection? I was anxious to see it, having read the book several times, and I'm a fan of Hollywood's first impression... Full review

This film could easily have filled 2.5 hours of content. Why did it only last 1.5? I want more back story. I want more character development, especially toward the end. I want to know more about what happened, and how... Full review

Normally I have an opinion on a movie when it's over, I can reflect on it for a few minutes and then I'm done with. It becomes cataloged in my brain as 'awesome' 'pretty good' 'worst.movie.ever.' or a host of other... Full review

At first, I thought that this movie would be okay at best, abysmal at worst. But I was pleasantly surprised to see Will Smith, "Robert Neville," give a spectacular performance, full of emotion and anger, and bordering a bit on... Full review

If I could sum this movie up in one sentence, it would be this: Go Will. Will Smith is the driving force of I Am Legend. His performance as Dr. Robert Neville is impeccable. Living in a deserted NY city, his... Full review

The depiction of the eerily overgrown city is one of the first genuine and unobtrusive testaments to the groundbreaking power of computer-generated effects in years. Somewhere in Act III, the movie goes zombie crazy. ... Full Review

Lawrence is pretty good at the spectacular stuff, like the big nighttime evacuation scene, which is the kind of set piece these movies exist for. In the '64 version, Price drives around town in a station wagon to perform various odd and sometimes gruesome tasks, and the movie quietly manages to make this a parody of a typical suburban shopping trip. ...

I Am Legend" has a new idea or two up its sleeve, but is sure to disappoint purists and while its computer generated images of a New York City overgrown with weeds and run down with neglect are thoroughly convincing, any living being created via hard drive is so thoroughly cartoonish that any real threat is vaporized. ...

And, unlike the previous films, there is an over-reliance on CGI that ultimately renders this action flick’s second half far too implausible as the phoney looking “dark seekers” are needlessly endowed with super-human strengths and powers. And while he ups the action ante, celebrated screenwriter Akiva Goldsmith makes an admirable attempt to explore the central character’s sense of personal loss (as evidenced in the poignant flashback sequences) and the realisation of his impending solitary... ...
