Decent Zombie Flick

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2007)

Well I took a day off from studying for my finals last night and went to see I Am Legend with the girlfriend. I guess I will go with the good before what I thought could have been better.
Will Smith as always was superb. His acting was great and you could really feel his pain at various points in the movie. Furthermore, the CGI and scenes of an abandonded New York were amazing. It really gave you an insight to what a city might look like if it became completely uninhabited. The plot development was pretty good, with a tiny bit of holes here and there that left me unsatisfied. The ending was rather abrupt as well. Also, I for the life of me, cannot understand how zombies, who were humans at one point, have superhuman strength. How in the world does that make any sense?
It all depends on what you are looking for if you I would recommend this film. If you are looking for a horror movie and want to be frightened. Go see it. If you want to see an insight into what the world would be like if a massive portion of the population was killed. Go see it. But if you want to see Will Smith in a well-written movie, with great story development, and a complete plot. I would say wait till it comes out on DVD and judge for yourself, cause I don't think it was.
