Good, but not as great as it could have been.

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2007)

I liked the beginning of the movie and felt the same effect that the book created. I liked the main character development and the sense of emptiness that the was created.
However, chalk me up with the group that just hated the vampires being depicted in CGI. It was comical and way too over the top. Further, there was almost zero character development with them, which is in stark contract to the book. This would have made the story much more interesting and compelling, had they spent a few minutes showing Neville interacting with them and helped to understand the sub-society that was developing.
I do not think the monsters needed to be so fast, strong, and LOUD to be scary. I also thought the end of the movie was wrapped up way too conveniently. It was just a cop out Hollywood ending.
Overall, this is a decent movie that could have been great.
