Smith Lands on top of the box office for the 7th consecutive time.

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2008)

I don't think anyone of us is surprised to see another masterful performance from Will Smith. He is always delivering strong performances whether in romantic comedies such as Hitch or dramas like The Pursuit of Happiness. In I am Legend, Will Smith plays Robert Neville, a scientist who happens to be the only survivor in New York city to a deadly epidemic because of his immunity to the virus that's causing the epidemic.The epidemic has killed several and transformed others into vampire-like zombies who are sensitive to UV rays. With that in mind Neville(smith) roams the day wandering around the abandoned New York city looking for 'infected' zombies to trap and possibly find a cure for the epidemic. The film has superb acting and a good chemistry...between Smith and his dog. The two shine in this PG-13 remake that surpasses the original.
I was reading some of the user comments on this film, and one user complained about the film's CGI. I agree 100%. The zombies in this film didn't look nothing as good as zombies from other movies in the same genre such as 28 Days Later and Dawn of The Dead. And the zombies did look like they walked straight out of a video game. But I think the makers might have decided to create CGI zombies instead of real people with prosthetics for a reason. I think the reason is that they wanted to keep it as PG-13 as possible. Still though, I believe they could have done better with the special effects and make up.
Other than that minor problem, I am Legend is another masterpiece coming from the fresh prince. The film caught my attention from beginning to end and the film ended with a predictable but very touching and powerful ending. Spectacular film.
