Will Smith is no longer fresh prince, but Robert Nevelle in my eyes...

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2007)

To begin... this movie did exactly what so many movies have not done for me for the past 5 years (besides Lawrence of Arabia, ...heh and Superbad) it honestly made me want to see it again.
***SPOILERS***
I'm recommending this movie to everyone I know. Even if you don't like zombie movies, because my girlfriend is in that same boat and loved it. Just to clear up some confusion that people are apparently having... now where throughout the entire movie does Will Smiths character ever say that the zombies aren't intelligent!!!!!! Also in regards to other people saying that his character also said that they weren't smart and then all of a sudden they created a trap... HE NEVER EVEN SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T INTELLIGENT! All he said was that they were becoming less human. And to who ever said that you can't grow the fruits he was eating in new york city I'll be happy to show you my back yard... Granted this movie is obviously not perfect (which usually depends on who is reviewing it) but it terms of reality I think they did ...alright. Plot holes yes just as any but what movie doesn't!? And this is certainly not a movie about one man its about 3 people in many ways... Robert Nev., the dog, and you. Also many people are saying that it could of been longer and much more epic. Well personally how much more of an empty city do you want to see!? I thought that the running time was adequate although the ending was a bit rushed.
As for acting. I'd rip out my hair on Ethan's part and eh on Anna's, but Will Smith did more than save both of them. He basically owned up to how I feel anyone would act. Some people are specifically bashing the scene when he finally meets Anna and Ethan after being alone for so long. Specifically about how his reaction is totally unrealistic.. Well hello!? He's just been all by himself for the past 3 years under the suspicion that every one on earth is dead then all of a sudden his ONLY friend dies (the dog) and now he finally has someone around. Another set of hands just after when he could've really used them. obviously he'd be upset at someone not to mention a bit crazy and suffering from post dramatic stress syndrome.
***END***
I'm recommending this movie to everyone I know. Even if you don't like zombie movies, my girlfriend is in that same "I hate zombie movies" fix and loved it.
