I Am Legend fails to stand up to name

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2007)

As i sat on my computer a while before this movie came out, i decided to watch this trailer. The trailer was definitely amazing and made me want to go out and see this movie as soon as it came out. Sure enough, i did. Remembering how good and intense the trailer was for this movie, i had high expectations. I Am Legend started off strong, Will Smith was definitely amazing and held this movie together, yet as the movie continued it started to have downfalls and kinda just fell apart. The set up of a "deserted" New York city was definitely one of the strong points along with the acting of Smith (and only Smith alone). The creatures were corny and lame looking like something mixed from The Mummy and Shrek, and definitely not looking like an infected human. I was very disappointed with this movie and had high expectations. Overall i recommend waiting for this movie to come on DVD to see it before you go out to the theaters and waste $8.00.
