Author: There are plenty of fun, or at least serviceable, video games based on movies, and there have been plenty of abominable ones as well. I’ve paid cash money to see freaky skinless zombie dogs in Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Lara Croft swing from the ceiling in at least one of the Tomb Raider movies. I’ve wisely avoided the Uwe Boll poopfests, especially Postal, an adaptation of a game that was a cheaply made piece of crap when I first played it in, oh, the early

This wasn’t a very detailed film. I liked it but was glad I saw it on cable and didn’t pay the regular movie price or I would have felt cheated. Also, his blatant advertising of Shrek in this movie was a little nauseating. Smith shouldn’t taint a good film with a mediocre one. Don’t bother buying I Legend. See it on cable or order it though internet library loan at your local library if it doesn’t have it on the shelf. Will Smith dropped it with this film.

No need to say: the edition is awesome!

2 Stars Don’t waste your time…unpleasant and full of holes
Ouch.
I’d like these 100 minutes back, please.
This was not what I’d hoped for. Matheson is a great writer but his premise and art have been sorely butchered here.
The first half is ok, though the exposition is slow and frankly tedious at times. The highlight of this film is the empty scapes of NYC, very nicely done. Buuuut, as soon as the rather boring “monsters” show up, it becomes a b-movie horror film, and all of Matheson’s concept is subsumed into a different plot line with so many holes they’re barely worth mentioning, but glaring nonetheless.
I have to wonder what the cast and crew were thinking as they “created” this. Didn’t they see what a piece of crap they were making? How can anyone spend a hundred million or whatever this tripe cost and think it was worth it when there is absolutely nothing redeeming or even remotely enjoyable therein?
Truly, you just don’t need to watch this movie. See the other cinematic versions of Matheson’s fine story, or much better yet, just read the story and get what really matters.
Loud, manipulative dystopian messiness with no redemption or cohesion.
Pass.
5 Stars Legend Ripped The Box Office! WORTH IT!!!
Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City…and maybe the world because albeit he’s a brilliant scientist, he couldn’t contain a deadly virus that is unstoppable, incurable and manmade. He is surrounded by blood thirsty overagressive infected victims.
Watching this movie by myself is not suggested for those who get passionately involved in watching movies. I almost walked out because i was so scared something was going to happen that I didn’t want to happen, but that just meant that Will Smith’s acting was so believable that I sat in my chair riveted and rocking in terror at his performance.
It had it’s great moments and I have to say it was Will Smith’s acting that really carried this movie. And I haven’t seen a movie in a long time that didn’t depend so much on CGI characters and special effects. I wish that the beginning of the movie spent more time watching the destruction and dying of mankind. That would have been better to understand and bring more pain to understanding the drive of Robert Nevell and why he was so intent on staying at Ground Zero.
I also wish the producers had invested more into the infected people because I’ve been more believable “monsters” in Lord of The Rings.
Even if you aren’t a Will Smith fan, you will enjoy this movie. I haven’t talked to the screen in a long time, but I swear I was trying to tell Will to forget the durn dog and get the heck out of there!
Go see the movie and you’ll be doing the same thing.
1 Star I AM LAME-O
I was greatly disappointed in this movie. I normally like Will Smith and zombie movies, but this was just 100 minutes of cartoonish computer generated special effects with no movie. The best part of the film was the occasional Bob Marley song. My advice is to skip I Am Legend (the movie) and buy the Bob Marley “Legend” cd instead.
