I Am Legend, a worthy look

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2008)

I liked the movie I Am Legend. I like Will Smith in it. Mr Smith has movie goers either liking him or hating him. I like him. No, I haven't all his movies but the few that I do own I like a lot, and I have just added this movie to my collection. This treatment of the story reminded me a lot of 28 Days Later with a dash of The Postman and just a whiff of I, Robot. I thought that the narrative went smoothly and some of Smith's acting transcended the story, especially when he had to put down his beloved dog. I Am Legen is not a great movie but it is an entertaining one and most certainly is worth anyone's time. Some complained about the ending but one has to remember that the character was overwhelmed and new that the end was inevitable. I had no problem with it. Also, some groused that the cannibals weren't scary enough, now that really is nit picking, I thought they should look just as they looked. All in all, I liked the movie a lot and am glad I own a copy. I do not "rent" movies.
