Will Smith is one of the only surviving humans in a New York that has fallen into ruin and is populated by wild animals and looks like a jungle. Smith only companion is a dog with whome he uses to hunt and also for company.
This is an engaging film in which Smith turns in a good performance showing a man struggling with isolaton and the lack of human companionship. Those humans who remain have turned into a zombie like creature from whome he needs to protect himself.

Advantages: Alternate ending a must see. Disadvantages: Still just a zombie movie
After watching the movie the first time my reaction was mixed to say the least. Reading the description gives u a broad stroke to what the movie is about, but what it doesn't elaborate on is the fact that while "Will Smith comands the screen for most of the movie", most of the movie is 85% of it, leaving ur thoughts wondering at times to what to wear the next day and if u should get ur car washed. Will Smith played the character very well, making ... ...he is going thru. The ending however, is what this Special Edition is all about. Yes there are zombies, and one man fighting them off looking for a cure seems to make for a interesting (if not somewhat overdone) plot. But it's the ending that makes this movie controversial. If u have seen this movie before and thought the ending was not quite what u expected, then this DVD is for u. It gives u that warm fuzzy feeling rather than leaving u with the ...

Advantages: Great ending Disadvantages: The rest of the film
I am legend? Personally, i thought this one stunk like unwashed foot!
All in all its a film with over an hour of buildup and ten minutes of actual action at the end - touted as an action film.
Will Smith usually (and there have been exceptions in the past) does do films that are pretty good - look at Men In Black (though not the sequel!) and Hitch. Good solid releases, well received and well acted.
In all fairness to him, he did make the very ... ...well, with minimal dialogue and, quite fantastically massive amounts of pure stage direction.
I wonder if he took the movie because there wasn't much script to memorise?
Save yourself the time and effort, look for the trailer online and watch the best bits of the film in that. ...

Advantages: Its an Amazing film Disadvantages: There's none
i am legend? well what could you say about this. if your into action and will smith .. its one too watch. its an amazing film .. prob one of the best ive ever seen.It made me cry a couple of times because it sort of leads you up too stuff and your just getting too know them and then something goes wrong. if you get it on DVD it gives you a different ending when will smith doesnt actaully die .. he lives with that woman that thinks theyre's a place ... ...be when the dog 'sam' dies because she's like will smiths best friend and loves him loads and then the dogs who have been biten go for her and bit her.. then will smith hold's her and starts singing ' dont worry about a thing because every little things going too be alright' and he was right in the second ending everything was alrite. if you havent not seen this film.. youu do have too watch it. ...

Advantages: cute little dog Disadvantages: ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this film is not one of my favourites and I would have to be literally forced to watch it a 2nd time. I seriously don't want to watch this one again, if given the chance!
When my mom first picked this up in HMV, she was really, really surprised by how heavy it is. It must have cost quite a bit of money to make the case as it is completely metal, well not completely metal, only the cover and the rest is plastic inside. I presume the metal weighs down this DVD. I, too, was surprised by how heavy it was.
This DVD, as I have already mentioned, is 2 disc specialedition. The first disc is for the DVD player, this shows a few special features and the film, obviously. The second DVD is for the computer or laptop. Slipped into the side is an instructions page on "How to Get Your IAMLEGEND Digital Copy". I have not done this due to ...
Advantages: bit of a nail biter, lots of suspence Disadvantages: not alot of dialect. but there isn't anyone for him to talk to
this film starts off a little slow and i think it taks a little too long to get to know what happened. will smith doesn't speak for the majority of this film other than to his dog, but in all fairness he plays a very good part even though there isn't alot of dialect. one for the ladies as there is a a shower scene for all the will smith lovers!! special effects are good and makes you wonder what it would be like being in a city on your own. if your a dog lover then this film will get your tears flowing. overall a decent film, plenty of scares and few nail biting bits in it. definately worth a night on the couch with some pop corn.! definate buy. ...
Robert Neville is the last survivor in a post-apocalyptic New York, but there's still danger left on the city's streets.

Review
Smith bravely mines dark emotional depths (BBC, 19/03/2008)
Smith is the perfect actor... to play a survivor who has no one to talk to but his dog and himself... he also draws on the vulnerability he showed last year in THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS (Entertainment Weekly, 19/03/2008)
Slick, adrenaline-fuelled fun (Los Angeles Times, 19/03/2008)
I AM LEGEND is mind-blowing excitement (Maxim, 19/03/2008)
A scary, inventive, exciting and breathless adventure that combines the best elements of CHILDREN OF MEN, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and THE ROAD WARRIOR (New York Post, 19/03/2008)
There is something graceful and effortless about this performance (Mr Smith's), which not only shows what it might feel like to be the last man on earth, but also demonstrates what it is to be a movie star (New York Times, 19/03/2008)
Big Willie has no problem holding the screen... director Francis Lawrence (CONSTANTINE) keeps you squirming (Rolling Stone, 19/03/2008)
No one... could fail to be impressed by the gobsmacking digital creations of an empty, ruined Manhattan (The Guardian, 19/03/2008)
Smith, sporting a newly buffed physique, delivers an extraordinary performance as a man slowly coming unglued under the strain of no human contact and a constantly alternating role of hunter and prey (The Hollywood Reporter, 19/03/2008)
A beguiling portrait of ache and isolation in post-apocalyptic New York (The Times, 19/03/2008)
DVD Description
In I AM LEGEND, Will Smith joins the ranks of Vincent Price (in 1964's THE LAST MAN ON EARTH) and Charlton Heston (in 1971's OMEGA MAN) as the star of an adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name. Often surprising in its focus on loneliness and loss, this thoughtful, eerie, and restrained sci-fi horror film provides a parade of startling visuals, but never allows special effects to overcome the human element. Smith, in a strong performance very different from his usual persona, is Robert Neville, the lone survivor in a New York City where streets are overgrown and deer gambol among deserted vehicles. Following an epidemic, the Earth's population has been turned into an army of nocturnal zombies. Immune to the virus, military scientist Neville searches for a cure in his Washington Square townhouse. Haunted by visions of his family leaving quarantined Manhattan two years prior, he drives through the city with his German Shepherd, Sam, by day and barricades his home from the monsters nightly. But when Anna (Alice Braga)--another immune stranger-finds him, they will have to fight the onslaught twice as hard.
Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich's emotionally-charged script showcases the charisma of Smith, who commands the screen alone for most of the picture (aside Abbey, the talented pooch). Director Francis Lawrence (CONSTANTINE) uses music minimally, wisely allowing the eerie cityscapes to remain mostly silent. The set pieces, including an overgrown, deserted Times Square and a lion hunting a deer in the Flatrion District, are goose bump-inducing moments of stark beauty. A chilling and effective adaptation of a horror classic, I AM LEGEND is also a thought-provoking piece of Hollywood filmmaking.
