Really nice, still could be better...

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2008)

I really liked this movie. I have to admit I wasn't expecting too much coming from Francis Lawrence due to his prior Constantine, but he surprised me in a good way with this 'I Am Legend'. Although a reminisce to Cast Away is impossible to avoid, this movie has its own excuses to twist even a bit more the 'one man in no man's land' context. And it does it pretty good, at least 3/4 of the movie. Don't get me wrong, it's not that the ending is poor or that it can be foreseen, but when 'I Am Legend' is finishing (and you feel when it's doing it) you have that annoying thing in your head that tells you "I would have liked a bit more". The idea of the movie and the way it's developed along the filming is close to superb, but suddenly it goes down abruptly enough to actually avoid the "Classic" category that it should have deserved otherwise.
