I expected a lot more!

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2007)

Well, I just finished watching this movie and the first thing I had to say is that although 28 days later copied its ideas from the book 'I am Legend', it was a far better version than this movie. This film lacks any empathy with the characters, the vampires are not scary, there are no shocks and I really didn't feel that Will Smith carried this film. He has been a fine actor in other roles, but I think this one was just a bit too much for him. I have not read the book so cannot comment, but was the end of this movie just tacked on or is that how the book actually ends? Such a pity, I went into this film with high hopes and left just wanting to watch 28 Days Later again instead. Well, you can all go and make your own mind up, but like a lot of blockbusters today, don't believe all of the hype.
