Excellent Film

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2007)

This is an excellent horror film with chilling characterizations especially from Will Smith himself. Leading the cast and telling the story, Will Smith does an excellent job of taking us on a tour of a devastated New York destroyed by a vision of hope gone bad. The story unfolds in atypical fashion letting us glimpse in parts just how the problem with the 'mutants' manifested. We care about the plight of Dr. Robert Neville in his bid to save his family, his friends, and especially the human species itself. The media of film is one of legal hypnosis, and this film certainly takes advantage of some seriously lifelike visuals, both living and nonliving, in order to convey a sense of nature gone wrong at the hands of well meaning human beings.
As a composition, Legend is a well put together orchestration of acting, setting, and direction that more than entertains the horror story buff. Legend is everything that a horror film is designed to be: nail biting entertainment done well. Typical horror films either fall short in terms of action, acting, story, or special effects/setting. An imbalance in any of these factors typically results in boredom. However the story of Legend Robert Neville is certainly filled to the core with excitement. Excellently done. :D GLEE.
