Thoroughly enjoyable sci-fi thriller with a top-drawer performance from Will Smith

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2008)

I really enjoyed the two versions of "I Am Legend" I've viewed. Both the original theatrical release and the later "controversial" version are thoroughly entertaining and rewarding movies.
Will Smith is captivating as Robert Neville. As the "last man on earth", Smill manages to portray the despair, anguish and pain of the character perfectly. Watching Neville go about his daily activities remains gripping despite the normality of certain elements of it.
As the film progresses, we witness the horrors of Neville's world. This is genuinely suspenseful stuff. The swift moving, shadow-dwelling creatures that roam New York are truly blood-chilling visions.
9 out of 10. A genuine achievement with confident direction from Francis Lawrence.
