Will Smith. Astonishing Performance.

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2014)

The third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name, 'I Am Legend' is a strong effort, but its Will Smith, who leaves you STUNNED with an Astonishing Performance. Though not nominated for an Oscar, Smith delivers a career-best performance.
'I Am Legend' Synopsis: Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.
'I Am Legend' is disturbing but arresting, as well. And though the narrative takes place in nothingness, it offers much more than expected. The twists & turns work hugely, while the action bits are sharply executed. Also, the journey of its protagonist Dr. Robert Neville, played by the amazing Will Smith, is captivating, overall.
Mark Protosevich & Akiva Goldsman's Adapted Screenplay is eerie, dark & yet entertaining. Francis Lawrence's Direction is suitably numb. Cinematography is outstanding. Editing is just perfect. Art Design is exemplary.
Will Smith is the life of 'I Am Legend'. No two options on that! He delivers a performance that has the potential to haunt as well as to astonish.
On the whole, 'I Am Legend' proves what a true Legend Will Smith is. Two Thumbs Up!
