Total Anti-Climax

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2008)

When i went to go and see the movie "I am legend", I was anticipating an exciting, action packed film, and above all else a change from what I have been previously used to with previous zombie/apocalyptic movies. 'I Am Legend' was none of these.
There was an extraordinary amount of hype building up to this movie, with posters all around London, adverts being repeated continuously on the television, and reviews saying that this film is brilliant and a 'must see'. I myself regard Will Smith as being a good actor, who is best suited for comedies, but also has an ability to be convincing in serious roles of films. I really liked him in films such as Bad Boy's, Independence Day and Ali. In i am legend, Smith just did not deliver the goods on a performance scale and to be honest, i was quite disappointed.
The film itself lacked any fantastic plot, it was hazy and didn't explain things enough to the audience. The scene where Smith is exercising and doing pull ups without his shirt on (included in the trailer), had nothing to do with the film, and was obviously just to show everyone his figure that he had obviously worked very hard on getting.
The zombies in the film looked too computer generated and to me weren't convincing enough.
In conclusion, I feel that perhaps Will Smith thinks too highly of himself, and that he can now get away with making films such as I am Legend, which will gross huge amounts of money, and do all of this by himself, with no supporting cast what-so-ever.
My rating is 2/10. Should have been called I am Boring.
