This is How Movies Should Be Made

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

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

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.

I Am Legend is considered a very solid book adaptation film and a well level given performance from Will Smith. This is the type of film which showed Will Smith's box office and superstardom as the film was a one-man show and a huge box office success, making $585 million worldwide. The film starts off interesting as we see what occurred in the near future in a post apocalypse world. With little dialogue, and great visuals of New York City, the film has an an inetresting and engaging tone. The second half of latter part of the film when the woman arrives, starts to trend downhill. The film is decent but feels as if it could have answered a few more unsolved questions, as it does feel relatively short. There were rumors of a sequel (or prequel) considering its box office but as of now over a decade since it's time, we know the answer.

My intense dislike for this movie stems from its complete disregard for the book on which it is based. The story in the novel has been hacked into a nonsensical, self-serving mash-up of sci-fi / horror crap. The CGI baddies are ridiculous. They aren't even the same type of creatures in the book. Why change them? If you changed the name of the character and change the title of the movie, it would be unrecognizable as the classic novel.The reveal at the end of the novel as to the relevance of the title, "I Am Legend," is poignant and it reinforces the underlying tone of the story. The change in the ending of the movie is pure Hollywood garbageThe tone of the story in the book was hauntingly gloomy and DARK. It was chilling and bleak. Will Smith makes the movie into fluff. I hate Will Smith more for this movie than I do for subjecting the world to his offspring.
