Over-hyped and inexplicably overpraised

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2007)

I am thoroughly shocked by the sheer amount of positive reviews of this woefully inept film here on the IMDb board, I had the misfortune to sit through this last night and after reading the positive reviews here I thought that I was watching a totally different film. The special effects were terrible and in 6 months time this film will look dated, the whole film was souless, not to mention clichéd, the characterisation was too generic and I can only believe the reason this film got great reviews here on IMDb was because the majority of reviewers were Will Smith fans that would have praised any film in which he starred. The Omega Man while being far from perfect is an easily superior effort and The Last Man on Earth beats it too, 2 classic films in their own right. This latest adaption of the Matheson novel is sadly lacking in all depts, it stinks of Hollywood cliché, no wonder Hollywood is churning out so much crap when this kind of movie gets treated like a masterpiece, long live The Omega Man and The last man on Earth This is an awful awful awful awful film, anyone with half a brain should avoid this like the plague
The fact that the majority of reviews of this film are positive could very possibly be down to Hollywood moles bombarding IMDb with fake reviews in order to attract the gullible
