A Disappointing Adaptation...

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2007)

First off, let me just say that Will Smith's acting was great, as usual. He was the only reason why this movie is getting the good reviews. However, anyone who has actually read the book will know why I am giving this movie a low rating. The only connection between the book and the movie is the name Robert Neville. The movie was disappointing and cliché. From forced humor and excessive product placement, to predictable scares and a dry plot, this movie fails in my eyes. To anyone who has seen this movie: read the book by Richard Matheson (not the movie book, but the original book). You will be amazed by the difference.
