A complete disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (2 February 2008)

This movie does not measure up to the nuances of the book. And some parts of the narrative are inconsistent and weird... And of course, they changed the ending completely, and erased the entire point of the book...
Inconsistencies: 1) how did the woman that rescued him on the docks stay there all night and remain safe? 2) Where did she even come from? And how did she travel? How did she find out about the survivor colony, and not Will Smith? 3) Will Smith barricaded his house with impressive steel doors and bars... But the zombies broke in in about two seconds! 4) What's the deal with the boss zombie??? How did he retain his intelligence? 5) Why is the city totally clean and organized? Wouldn't you expect like total chaos and bodies everywhere when 8 million people die of a horrible disease and/or get eaten by zombies? Instead, it was like Disneyland at 2 AM.
All told, it was a fancy Hollywood production without any depth. And I thought Will Smith's acting was rather sub-par as well. His character was rather unbelievable and surreal. In fact, I liked the dog better than him.
My final pronouncement: Horrible and not worth paying 10 bucks for.
