I Am Legend (2007)

Sadly Over-hyped

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Hauntingly beautiful deserted New York City landscapes are one of the main visuals of "I am Legend". Will Smith plays the sole survivor of New York City after an virus has decimated 95% of the world population. The remaining 5% are zombies feeding on anything that breathes. Struggling to find a cure against the virus Will Smith roams the streets of New York City in complete solitude.The visuals are stunning! To see one of the most busy and well know centres of the world look completely deserted and overgrown with plants is just amazing. I am flabbergasted and in awe of the visual effects of this movie. That alone would make this movie worth watching. The acting is as good as it gets with Will Smith, who doesnt play his usual cheery self. It is pain, fear and determination that is written all over Will Smith's face throughout this movie.The suspense is thrilling from beginning to end. Although there are no humans left alive, there are still masses of zombies who will tear anyone apart. The constant looming danger of being attacked by zombies is very thrilling.There could have been an alternate more original ending, then I would have given this overwhelming visual thriller an 8. Now I lower my appreciation to a well deserved 7. Not a typical cheerful Will Smith actionmovie. This is serious stuff, brilliantly produced and visualized. And spooky!

What can I say about this movie. I loved it. But also I hated it a bit. But not for bad reason, because it was really good. An awesome story of the character, which Will Smith plays. Great effort and emotion with intence power. I can say it is very very good. Others can think otherwise, that's their right, but I think this film shows much volume and intensity. You can hate, you can like, but it was great.

This is a great movie. Very scary. It has a great story line It also has great acting. It a remake of a 1964 movie called the last man on earth. I last man on earth is awful. This is a lot better. The first remake of this movie is made it 1971 it is call Omega man. It is also very bad. This is a lot better. It has great special effects. See this movie. It is one of the best horror films ever.

I've read the book. I've seen Last Man on Earth. I've seen Omega Man. And I've seen this crap.The book is great. Last Man on Earth is great. It should have stopped there. Omega Man is a cartoon amateur mess, somewhat entertaining, it has its moments, but just a freaking joke. I Am Will Smith is a disgusting pile of crap.What's wrong with I Am Will Smith. Everything! It takes most of the crap from Omega Man and turns it into a modern shoot em up acting scene with fast zombies.I've read most of the reviews here. And some of them are great. Just click Hated It and you'll see a bunch of 1 star reviews from people who see this mess for what it is. Great lists and arguments of what is wrong with the writing, acting, directing that makes this mess. I cannot list all that here. All I will say is read the book and watch Last Man. Omega Man is a wasteland. I Am Will Smith is worse. It's just a candy and ice cream for dinner. It doesn't work. But if you don't like to think and just want to watch a bunch of fast cut action scenes and not want to think, then I Am Will Smith is the movie for you.F, 1 star
