Story = Good, Acting = Good, Scenery = Good, CGI = Awful

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2008)

At this point in time, it's safe to say that Will Smith has established himself as a great actor, best known for his heroic, action-filled roles.
However, this movie had something different. The protagonist, RObert Neville had to be skilled and intelligent, and Will Smith pulled it off nicely.
Smith made being the last man in New York very interesting. Add great scenes of an abandoned New York City, and you have the blueprints for an excellent movie. So why is I Am Legend NOT an excellent movie? I'll tell you why: the CGI was absolutely awful.
The CGI for the animals was pretty bad, but not awful. I was able to overlook that if I really tried. However, the CGI for the infected was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! They could have just as easily dressed people up as the infected but no, they HAD to use bad CGI. At times I thought Will Smith had been teleported into a video game.
However, due to the award-winning plot and acting, this movie gets a 7/10 as opposed to a 4/10.
