Good not great.

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2009)

Will Smith plays the last man on Earth in the 3 or so adaptation of I am legend. It's a film that is good but not great. It's got good visuals and scares but I can't quite say that it's one of the best films of the decade. I bring that up for one reason mostly. Ben Lyons, Roger Ebert's original replacement on At the movies, said that it was one of the best films ever. That guy is mentally challenged or something. He didn't really like Doubt. I can assure you that I am legend is not better than Doubt, but it is still an enjoyable film.
There isn't all that much to the plot. Will Smith plays Robert Neville, a scientist who is the last man on Earth. He is immune to the disease that occurred years ago. This disease was the cure for cancer, and everyone was actually infected by it. So Neville tries to survive nowaday from the infected zombies. He soon finds a way to cure the zombie like people. But he can't quite help at the moment. Zombie-like things aren't that understanding.
Smith is really the only famous person in this movie. Though Emma Thompson makes an appearance in the beginning. I will repeat myself once more. and hopefully I won't have to do it again. I am legend ain't art. It doesn't really come close. It scared me a few times and you know I actually think Will Smith can act. I know he likes to do "Oh hell no!" throughout everyone of his films, but I like him. Smith is good, the visuals are good, this is a good movie.
