'I am weak' is a more appropriate title

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2008)

Movie Review for 'I Am Legend' Quite frankly, one of the most annoying movies I have seen in my entire life. The story is predominately about a man, alone, trying to find a cure to a infectious mutation virus from a bad side effect, from a cure of cancer.
The preview for the film left much to be desired for, but when I was lent it after doing someone a favour, it was extremely disappointed. It is beyond me how a movie director thought a film could be made with predominantly one character throughout most of the film. The lack of deep social interactions creates a giant void. The dialogs between the man character and his dog, and random mannequins is just not what entertains people. Sure, their are scenes which relate to the beginning of the crisis, however this hardly change the fact that this film is poorly entertaining. The lack of music, and the large amount of silence also creates the tension... of annoyance. I personally had to add low level volume techno music in the background, just to finish watching the movie.
The scenes intended to invoke emotional connections to the film were unsuccessful, due to the long, boring, silent and annoying portions of the film, which overshadows the only bearable parts.
Will Smith can play his part in the role, however the role is what is lacking. I give this half a stars. Not because it deserves it, but because maybe, just maybe, a film out is out there that is worse... and has zombies (Any film with zombies is given half a star, to make up for the rest of the film). I got to say, it takes a special ability to make a film, this horrible. I have got to say, the techno music in the background does give an extra 20 minute viewing time, before you which it off.
I recommend this film to anyone who doesn't mind, watching an hour of mind numbing boring cinematography, followed by a bit of bland zombie mayhem, and enjoys sappy ending with a supposedly legendary sort of sappy ending music.
