I am Legend is cheesy and relatively dull in my opinion

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2011)

Zombies have influenced a number of horror films and I am Legend is another on the list. I think it is a pretty minor offering, with zombies that look cheesy and Will Smith's campy performance weighing it down. However the director's suspense buildup is pretty masterful, making a few truly scary moments. Manhattan looks good in post apocalyptic form, but the movie looks better on paper than it does on the silver screen, which simply is not acceptable. For zombie fans, this is too layed back. For Will Smith fans, this is perfect fodder because he yells and screams just as much here as in previous offerings.
