Not awful, just disappointing!

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2008)

Will Smith is perhaps one of the best actors for action and adventure type films, and his role in I Am Legend definitely is no exception for the talented actor.
Alas, he is by far the best thing in this weak, tepid and ultimately lacklustre horror/thriller from the director of Constantine.
His role manages to hold together over an hour and a half of bad special effects, bad soundtrack and bad acting, apart from Smith himself the acting efforts put in by his co-stars are average at best.
The CGI creatures were too cartoon like to provide genuine scares, and unfortunately the film falls flat on its face. Unfortunately for Smith, his emotional and strong performance is lost in a shambles of a blockbuster.
It starts out well, but ends up being a huge disappointment.
