Why so much hype?
Sorry, this movie sucks
A Disappointing Continuation
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
WILL SMITH is a BRILLIANT actor FACT. Smith gives a powerful & fantastic performance as the lonely last man survivor in the world,he's Robert Neville & he's surviving in New York City with just his dog but there are others but they are infected zombie types that only come out at night. I am legend is a BRILLIANTLY made sci-fi Horror Thriller that's intense & scary & emotional & that is solely because of WILL SMITH!!! His performance is BRILLIANT,his emotional eyes say it all.A true modern Classic
Next year will mark 65 years since the novel "I Am Legend" came out. It has since been turned into many movies, most notably "The Last Man on Earth" ten years after the book came out, followed seven years later by "The Omega Man" starring Charlton Heston fresh off his roles in "The Ten Commandments", "Ben-Hur", and "POTA", and then this movie, which broke records for a December gross for a movie that was later broken by other movies. Fun fact, there is a fake poster advertising a batman v superman movie that would come to be a reality almost a decade later.
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!
The dog dies and I cried so much and it ruined the whole movie for me. The dog did not need to die. This is terrible and the dog should have lived until the end. Don't get me loving this animal and then rip my heart out and stomp on it.
