I Am Legend

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2008)

I Am Legend.............. Is a real shame that the adaption of a great little book, won't be a legend. I ran (almost) to the cinema to see this movie, and I confess I went twice, but I must admit I felt a wee bit let down. The opening scene had me glued firmly, but comfortably to my seat, I thought to myself here comes a great movie, even had a few goose pimples agreeing with me, then all of a sudden the glue wore off and I sat there thinking "Don't ruin this movie, did I just see a poor look-a-like from the Mummy movies?" This film had all the makings of a very atmospheric flick, the city scenes were great, even Will Smith looked fine in the middle of it all, then the story nosed dived and left me feeling no better off than the pop corn in the bottom of the carton. I'm going to confess that I will buy this on DVD, but not because I loved it, which I didn't but simply to see if I can brain wash myself into letting go of the bad points to get back to goose bump experience. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves SCI-FI and has little trouble seeing past the flaws. 6/10
