Why is this so popular in USA??

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2007)

Will Smith did good, and I likes the movie at first: we saw how lonely he was, doing what he could to stay sane, talking to "Fred" and of course his dog a lot. But PLEASE tell me why mutants ALWAYS have a tendency to be 5 times stronger than humans? How can they always make an inhuman scream? It NEVER fails! Strong, aggressive and comes out at night, sound familiar. (yawn).
From a slow paced movie about a lonely guy to the action packed "strong mutants try to claw their way through and kill everybody"...... I heard about the popularity in the US, and thought, wow I've gotta see that. What a disappointment, and WHY oh WHY is this board filled with people who call it a new genre and a master piece? Seriously, WHY? Is it a new genre because the strong hungry mutants were COMPUTER ANIMATED? :o)
This movie COULD have been really good, I have to give it a 5. Will Smith and the first 30-40 minutes were pretty good.
