Empty and hollow.

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2007)

Many, many years ago, this was supposed to have been a James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger film. That evidently fizzled, and somebody though The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air would be good here (probably the same idiot that made him an action hero in the first place). It's not so much that it's Will Smith's fault the movie's just wasn't entertaining in the slightest, it's more like it isn't developed well enough and you neither care no empathize with his character. You almost find yourself rooting for the zombies, who look like they walked out of a Shrek film, the CGI is that horrible! How hard was it to put makeup on some actors and only use CGI for the stunt sequences?? Seriously, there's no need use a CGI character for a close-up of a zombie shrieking! You could have put plenty of New York's homeless in makeup and given them a great working opportunity, and it would have been much cheaper! The story doesn't develop; it's just ANOTHER "New York in peril" story like all the rest of them. For once, I actually find myself wishing a movie was longer so it could have been more fleshed out. Much as you can't just put Johnny Depp's face on an awful film and think everybody and anybody will like it just by default of his association with it, same goes for Will Smith!
