Move over "The Stand" - I am Legend is in town

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2008)

This movie was everything that The Stand tried to be. The Stand was a great book but the made for TV movie was not quite as good as this. I did like the Will Smith character in this and he did a great job. Interesting scene were he was trapped by the Zombie and almost munched by the dogs! I liked how he walked around New York and that there were weeds everywhere, especially coming up from the cracks in the pavement. However, the highlight was that main Zombie who was incredibly angry. He was seething anger and even took it out on the other Zombie's toward the end. I have to wonder what the rest of the world was like. I am getting tired of all the great movies centering around New York City. Why not Albuquerque or Phoenix? Anyway, great movie and the eerie vacant NYC was great visual eye candy! Not too much in the way of gore which surprised me. I wonder why there were no zombie cats?
