I am Legend

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2008)

Will Smith Carries this movie with a stunning Oscar-worthy performance. As is his character, Will Smith is famed for putting 100% into the things he does. In this case, he put in 110%. The Entire movie from the acting to the music to the message was enjoyable and worth while.
I think the critics are over hyping the "fact" that the movie adaptation strayed too far from the book. I found it the opposite. The movie and book had the same basic themes, the movie contained direct quotes, and the only main difference was that the endings were different, which then made the book convey one message while the movie conveyed a different message. However, both messages are powerful and worth conveying, I think so who cares? Anyway, the things the movie did change from the book were only devices used to strengthen the message of the movie, so I think that Hollywood did a good job taking a good story and turning it into something people in present day can get a good message out of.
