Some film should just be taken for what it is...

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2008)

... and this is one of those times. I should think "I Am Legend" holds itself up pretty well given the genre that it was working in. This judgment is made in comparison to various other zombie flicks of its kind, and I found it to be more engaging and almost unique. I reckon one could never get away from the stereotypical scenario of "genetic mutation breeds zombies who later decide to take over the world". But the focus on the human emotions/psychology in this one is refreshing and that is a pulling factor in my opinion.
For that alone, the movie deserves extra points. This is by no means Oscar winning material, but like I mentioned, it does well in the genre that it represents.
Will Smith should be proud of himself. If not for him, the movie wouldn't have been believable nor would I enjoy myself as much as I did with this one. For that alone, I shall give it 8 stars.
