Well made film, but un-original

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2008)

When i first saw the trailer for "I am Legend", i was intrigued by the mysteriousness of the story. Although the beginning was rather slow-moving, it still made me watch quite intently, with light humour. However, the more i watched, the more it turned into another one of those monster movies...with a similar story-line of "28 weeks later" where humans turn into monsters with super-strength and kill other humans and the hero tries to save everyone, or run away.
Although with the un-original movie story line, it does have a slower moving story than the other plain horrors and we really get to know and connect with the main character (Smith).
But i'm still let down by this movie, as i did not know it was based on a book. So i guess i was just hoping for something special...but i was sadly mistaken...
