Not The Worst Zombie Movie, But...

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2013)

This movie is definitely worth watching if you're a fan of zombie movies, but... there are two HUGE turn-offs.
(1) The most obvious flaw, are the so-called monsters. They are so poorly-done and unrealistic, it's actually cringe-worthy. The supposedly scary infected humans (half-vampires or whatever they're supposed to be), look ridiculous and cartoonish. The scenes in which these computer-generated characters are present, are embarrassing to watch. I know nothing about movie-making, but even I cringed when these creatures (or rather cartoon characters) stepped into the picture.
(2) I was offended by the religious propaganda that is, quite obviously, being promoted in this movie.
--- Plus, a few more: - Will Smith is a decent actor, but he is, essentially, playing Will Smith in every movie. It doesn't help matters that there was hardly any character development in "I Am Legend". You don't see Will Smith's character, you see Will Smith.

That kid (Ethan), was really quite annoying. I think the movie would've been better without him. The first annoying kid (Will Smith's daughter) would've been enough. More than enough.

There are quite a few very obvious plot holes. For example, how did Anna manage to drag a guy, who is twice her weight, out of an upside down car and shove him into hers, while there was a bunch of hungry monsters right there, and her own 10 year old kid to protect at the same time? - The scene where Sam (the dog) is bitten by a monster (cartoon) dog, is utterly ridiculous. Especially the situation with the ray of light.

--- There are more things I found obnoxious and out of place, but the point is: this movie is O.K., but really could've been SO much better with a bit more effort/consideration.
