Like my ex girlfriend, I Am Legend had such potential...I Am Legend reminds me of a girlfriend I had a couple of years ago. (Bear with my metaphor for a bit. It'll make sense, I swear.) Before our 1st date, I had heard some t...more

Overall, this film was well worth seeing. It is powerful, compelling, and disturbing. It delivers heart stopping action combined with a gripping story at the beginning. Near the end, the story kinda trips over itself and falls on its face into a cliche.I Am Legend was a wonderful film. Will Smith's was convincing and complex as the solitary Dr. Robert Neville. The first half hour of the film, aside from flashbacks, he is the only human character at ...more

Its a good story, but I think it would have been better if he ended up with the girl at the end :)I'm a sucker for action films as well as sappy chick flicks. And this was a mix of both. I think it would have been better if the main character would have ended up with the girl at the end, and not h...more

Worth seeing twice in the theater! Favorite quote-Please say hello to me!How could a possible cure for cancer bring about so much death? And so much uncertainty and lonliness? At first I thought this movie was going to be a clever new story of vampires. But was I wrong. Al...more

Daddy look, it's a butterflyI can honestly say that this is one of the best roles Will Smith had ever undertook. I was doubting this film from the beginning of its announcement that it was being conceived. From the graphic novel...more

Suspenseful, Will Smith is at his bestI've heard some bad stuff about this movie. I've heard the story sucked, it wasn't as good as it could've been, and it's unsatisfying. I personally think that's all a load of crap, and couldn't find a...more

The worst movie I have seen in years, completely depressing!I like Will Smith, I like his movies, but he missed the mark with this one. No, I should re-phrase that, Will does a very good job of acting in the movie but the director & producers totally miss the ...more

Smith gives an affecting, isolated performanceDespite deviating into cliches slightly in the last act and suffering from some poor cgi work, I Am Legend is mostly a very good film. It works on the level of a pure post-apocalyptic action/horror fi...more

"Let me save you!"I'll agree with most in the confusion that people have when it comes to simplicity and how much a film sucks. But having read this truly classic book that's had 3 filmed adaptations prior to this one,...more

"I Am Legend provides a thoroughly creepy experience that's worth the price of admission for the atmosphere alone."I am frequently disappointed by action films. They tend to be little more than excuses for elaborate fight and chase scenes with lots by the way of explosions and A-List actors and little by the way o...more

So-so adaptation is certainly dark and foreboding but littered with the clichés that 'Legend' author Richard Matheson helped to heavily influenceHave you ever wondered what it's like to be alone? No one around to talk to, flirt with or shout at. We have all been in that type of situation-only we literally haven't been like Will Smith is in "I ...more
