Advantages: Tense thriller Disadvantages: Depressing at times
I am Legend is one of those frightening views of how man could end up destroying the planet that we all live on. Whereas some films focus on the nuclear threat this film actually looks t the effects of a devastating virus that mutates from a vaccination hence the effect on the population.
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 tense thriller which I really enjoyed watching. It is well acted and is one of Will Smith best films. It carries a disturbing message and also has a few rather edge of your seat scary moments in it as well as some quite dramatic scenes when you can feel the dispair that Smith goes through each day.
Overall I would recommend this film to anyone it was a lot better than I expected it to be. ...

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.

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. ...
