surprising quality

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2007)

in a year, where almost every cinema release is a remake or a sequel to something people have already seen. or worse, shabby adaptations of fantasy novels, i myself couldn't care less about, this film -i am legend- is a surprising pearl in a pool of mud.
yes, it also is a book adaptation, I'm well aware of the irony. this actually led me to believe, before seeing the film, it wouldn't be a surprisingly good film. thank god i was wrong
i went to see the film thinking 'how will they tell an hour and a half story, with just one character'. it seemed like an interesting exercise, and the director actually made the concept interesting. will smith proves, with this film, he is a well rounded solid actor.
I'm very happy i saw it, i wont go into detail, i don't want to spoil anything... but i recommend u go see this film, it was an amazing finish to a somewhat unfortunate year in cinema, in my opinion.
