i have been anticipating this movie ever since i heard about it (and i heard about it along time ago), alot of hype for me went into this one. Suprisingly, didn't dissapoint! G reat cinemetography! keeps you into it throughout the whole flick. 4 stars! Great work.
Make no mistake this is an Omega man re-make. I would have prefered my helicopter crash at the beginning with him crawling out and injecting himself with antivirus like in the original instead of having to wait to figure out why he was immune. Missed opportunities to drive a corvette through a plate glass window and get a cool new car everyday like in the original. But then there was a Ford product placement agreement clearly. Get a thrill from lifting Van Goughs from museum to your house? No, let's wax about Shrek instead becasue we are all morons. Nice tip of the hat to Omega man with the manaquins, but meets surviving girl & kid in a "she saves him" modern cliche. Kid is not as coo
Great, but my friend needed to change is underwear after it was over.
I was anticipating for this movie for a long time. And it did not disappoint! This has got to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. Everything was amazing. Will Smith delivered, yet again, an amazing performance. Worth the money and my time. 5 stars.
Will Smith has truly emerged as one of the great actors of his generation with his work in this absolutely mesmerizing picture. The third take on the classic novel (after 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" With Vincent Price and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man"), I am Legend is smarter, scarier and moving than its predecesors. The backstory is revealed in flash-backs, but the director allows the viewer to use his imagination when fleshing out some of the details. I found myself drawn in totally to Smith's character and the personal terror and anguish he is forced to endure. This is a credit to Smith's virtuoso acting ability and the director's decision to simplify and personalize the
Must say I was pleased with this movie. Better than anticipated. Story line holds you. Reminded me a bit of 28 days later. Worth the price for admission.
Will Smith was good. It was a bit scary but it was good! A+++
it's an alright film - not the best, despite Will Smith's very good performance....maybe better on DVD
awsome simplyawsome
even though i havent read the book, i know enough about the storyline to know that the makers of this movie did not bother even looking it up on wikipedia let alone read it! i give this movie 2 stars only coz it had good action and will smith who did a good job! but the actual story is soo much better than the "28 days later" they tried to pull off here!
The movie was good but should had been much longer with more detail leading up to the outbreak. Will Smith having flashbacks didn`t cut it with me, I wanted more about the beginning and then let the story develope...But they didn`t do it...They did it their way..Not my way pardon the pun..
THIS MOVIE WAS RIDICOLOUSLY CRAZZZYY
Great movie. Will smith did an excellent job acting this amazing character. The entire theatre was literally on the edge of thier seats yelling advice to will smith. Very good thrilling movie.
This movies does what a movie is suppose to do...entertain. Great suspense and not at all boring, I dont know what people are talking about.
Pretty good movie, I recommend this to almost anyone. Congrats, Smith, you did it again! 4 Stars!
way to go Will,
It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There were some serious "jumpy" parts. I really enjoyed it!
Disappointed.
This movie sucked. I can't believe you spent good money to make such trash. I know I didn't spend my money on it as I walked out of this piece of crap movie and demanded my money back. I only wish I could get back the hour I spent forcing myself to watch this movie.
Although the premise is a little shaky and some of the action was taut, it really was a long drawn out movie. This movie was clearly not Will's best movie. I would wait until this movie comes out on DVD.
Seeing I am Legend was money well spent. It's a great all around movie, with action, suspense, drama, and a bit of comedy. Will Smith is certainly proving to be a very talented actor, and deserves an Oscar for this role. I love how he has had both of his children in his last two movies as well.
i really really wanted to like this movie...but it fell short to my expectations. they could have made it sooo much better. The acting was really good. During the movie everyone in the theater was screaming to will smith lol. ..Entertaining but long..3***
Will Smith did an incredible acting job in this movie. Most of the time he only had a dog to speak to. Great special effects, 4 stars. I just wish people could be more considerate in the theatres - if you want to talk throughout the whole movie, you should not be there!
At least with Tom Hanks, in Castaway, you were expecting a monologue. The deer hunting and driving around in Shelby Mustangs and Ford Expeditions made for a really long FORD commercial.
Instant classic and Will Smith best acting performance ever!! I (a) great movie and he deserves an oscar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Entertaining movie. Thought provoking. Interesting Sci-Fi concept. Lots of potential. Crappy ending. Kept me interested right up to the end. Could've made some really cool spin-offs. Except the ending killed it.
Will Smith is sort of let down by this movie, its not a horror, but its not a sci-fi/action. This movie could have been amazing but it isnt. Good action sequences, if your looking for action I recommend this movie, if your animal lover prepare to cry. - The Methos
Do not watch this movie if you hate horror movies or if you have recently gone through a traumatic event or loss in your life. My daughter recommended it but I suffered through the first hour and had to leave the theater before the ending because I was in tears and could not take it. Will Smith was awesome but it was just not for me.
A good movie for DVD rental but not so worth it for the theater. Like someone below said...there a few holes that don't make a lot of sense. Overall three and half stars for pure entertainment value and something to do for a couple of hours.
I saw this movie the first day it came out and i have to say, it was great!!!! Ya its not gonna appeal to some people, but i was amazed with every aspect of it. I AM LEGEND had action, drama, horror, even some comedy, oh ya did i mention HEART STOPPING, SEAT CLENCHING AND ANY OTHER EXTREME DESCRIPTIONS OF ACTION YOU CAN THINK OF. Great overall movie everyone involved.
this movie is the best movie i have ever seen in my life, i cant beleive you say thst this movie is crap, will smith is the best actor there will ever be
loved it. amazing movie. All done by will smith, he is a legend. Definately watch it.
original was great but this had better effects
The overall premise (the last man on earth) was done exceptionally well and working within that framework makes this an outstading movie. Will Smith's performance is Oscar worthy. He played just on the edge of insanity and acted with such intensity...and all by himself! The movie could most definetly gone down different avenues, pursuing the "infected" storyline, or the blockbuster action plot...but remember he is the last man on earth attempting to survive which would encompass avoiding the "infected" whenever possible outside of his work. The Bob Marley angle was COMPLETELY LAME and unnecessary (I'm a huge Bob Mar fan!), ending was weak which is why this didnt get 5 stars but if you wa
seriously, SERIOUSLY, i really think will smith deserves an award for his acting performance in this one... I'll be quite upset to say the least if he doesn't.
Okay for those of you who thought that this movie was slow, boring or not thought out well, your all mistakingly wrong. Can you honestly think that this can't happen in real life it makes you think of the reality of this can really happen. I think all of you that thought it was no good you should go in with an open mind a really take a look at the movie and not the hype because I give the director credit well done movie!!!!
What a terrible movie! I can't beleive it made 76 mill on it's first weekend. The only good part is when that kid was watching Shrek, and the trailer for The Dark Knight.
Good movie, but not great; it had great potential but fell short in the way some of the scenes were handled. I must admit I didn't understand the movie title until the end, and although the explanation made sense (sort of), I think there were many other titles they could have used that would have been better suited than, "I am Legend", for this horror based flick. R.A.N.
WAAAAY to slow. To many holes.....built as a good action flick but all the action was about 5 minutes of the total movie which was soo slow. Wait for the DVD
Very mediocre for a Will Smith movie. Rent it.
Too long and boring at times
This movie is not what it looks like. It might seem like a cool sci-fi/thriller but it is just another zombie movie but this time the zombies are more alive. I did enjoy the storyline but there was a lack of plot. The ending really shows if the movie is any good and for this, the ending was horrible.
I was pretty excited to see this movie, Will Smith did a good job except for the fact that he is the only person in the movie. The ending was terrible and their were lots of things that did not make sense. Save your money and see something else. I am still trying to figure out what all the hype is over this movie. The "Shrek Scene" made absolutely no sense to me at all.............. SAVE YOUR MONEY !!!!!!!
sick movie!!!!! nonstop action
For pure entertainment - I loved it.
It was great!
absolutely amazing !
reminded me of resident evil, but far from it,different story.also we should remember the gravity which able us to walk tall,not fly like those on the movie. good movie anyways.
Am I lame for not knowing this was a zombie movie because I intentionally ignore all talk of movies before I see them in order to avoid the overhyped-and-now-it-sucks symdrome? And remember when zombies were zombies (as in dead, ressurected people), not incredibly ill mutated alive people? Those were the days. Actually, I really enjoyed this movie. I just thought I'd comment.
This movie will definately become a "legend" as a bad movie. It rates right up there with 28 days later. Save your money and go see something else. Aweful ending.
