This is the third time the book I Am Legend has been adapted into a movie (the first being the Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price and the second being the omega man starring charlton heston) and this one is probaly the best although This is the third time the book I Am Legend has been adapted into a movie (the first being the Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price and the second being the omega man starring charlton heston) and this one is probaly the best although not the truest to the book. However the ending still works, the scenes featuring empty streets and avenues of new york are breathtaking, superb acting from Will Smith and the dog - excellent portrayal of solitude and despair - and the CGI is pretty awesome. All these things make one awesome epic movie and another great adaption of the book. And to everyone who criticised this movie with untrue low scores, what could of made it better? It is an excellent movie but still, everyone should read the book. The book beats all adaptions, and I hate books and prefer movie adaptions. All in all a pretty tense, thrilling and ultimately excellent movie. Expand

I left the theatre thinking, "that was a solid ending," yet people are ripping it apart. Confused about that, but overall it was one of the best films of the year for me. It had it's chance to be a typical, feel good story, but it deviated from that and I found the writing to be outstanding. I'm convinced that some people are just haters and had their negative views written down before the movie began. Oh well, if you like movies, go see this. Expand

This is not like any Zombie-infection-end of the world movie ever made. The back before sunset twist just adds to to the atmosphere of this horror. I did think(slight spoiler) that bringing that lady and the kid in near the end was unnecessary, but it didn't take anything away from the film. Best movie I've ever seen in theatres. Would give it a 11/10 if I could. Expand

Thinking I went to see a movie without a monster, the trailers before the movie not only reminded me, but attested that .. It was the case .. From a first idea of disappointment, I must say that the film was able to convince me, because Will becomes the hero who saves humanity, but not only. The environment is really well done we believe it really alone, this loneliness that strengthens image in image thanks to a master's photography and a music of genius. Feeling the danger without seeing the creatures is something more piercing to the emotional levels than just showing blood and ... really great it's my 2007 movie

Certainement le premier film avec un ami #MickaelA. Pensant allé voir un film sans monstre, les bandes-annonces avant le film ne me l'on pas seulement rappelé, mais attesté que.. C'était le cas.. D'une première idée de déception, je dois dire que le film a su me convaincre, car Will devient le héros qui sauve l'humanité, mais pas seulement. L'environnement est réellement bien réalisé on le croit vraiment seul, cette solitude ce renforce d'image en image grâce à une photographie de maitre et une musique de génie. Le fait de ressentir le danger sans voir les créatures est une chose plus perforante aux niveaux émotionnels que simplement montré du sang et ... réellement génial il est mon film de 2007

He wanders alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands. I Am Legend overcomes questionable special effects and succeeds largely on the strength of Will Smith's mesmerizing performance. I'll give I Am Legend an A+. (10/10) Expand

You fear for the characters rather than the film scaring you, which is a nice variation, and only works because of the acting skills of Will Smith and some thoughtful direction. The only things that seperate this film from a perfect ten rating are the slightly frustrating ending (not because of a certain death, but because the village on uninfected seemed too convinient. It should have been overrun, thus showing the failiar of the human race.), and the length of the film. It should have been longer, the opening scenes are beautiful and the relationship between Smith and his dog works perfectly, emphesising the fact that the dog, Sam and his music are all that root him to humanity. Anyway, definate buy. Expand

Apart from the weak animation scenes, this film was terrific. Scarry, heartfelt, powerful. Good performance by Will Smith. Warning: For adults only. Kids under 18 don't bother going.

Smith was great, the NYC aftermath captivating, and the scares genuine. Several reviews mention that the final third of the film declines noticably, yet I disagree. I suppose that the very mention of God is enough to turn off those who would file a lawsuit to remove the ten commandments from public buildings rather than to simply ignore the plaques and truly observe the right of free speech and tolerance, and since militant athiests seem to be permitted to speak for everyone, a warning about the final third of the film should be expected. However, it is not evangelical, preachy, or heavy-handed. It simply suggests that faith and science can co-exist, like the crazy theory that people can. Really good movie. Expand

It had a solid frame with an outstanding beginning where we witness the activities in Neville's everyday life, a exceptional mid-way point where flashbacks reveal how the overall story transpired, and a mildly satisfying ending that advanced and conclusively wrapped up the plot in a way that solely appropriate for this movie. There are minor plotholes, but it does not in any way take away from the plot nor the enjoyment of the movie as a whole. I found the movie to be VERY depressing, especially with Sam's death and the points near the end, and I wish it were longer, since I was simpily amazed by how outstanding it was but, though the ending is pretty solid, it cut short it seemed. Other than that, one of the best movies I have seen in a while. Expand

There's just something about Will Smith's performance that really puts you on the edge of your seat. Even though he's "technicaly" the only one in this new world, he keeps you entertained with the fear of the so-called zombies. It has its dramatic scenes also which were just outstanding. By the way, Sam's death was to tragic. I mean seriously, who didn't cry when Robert had to put down his dog? I never thought a movie like this could not only amaze me with its suspense, but also tug on my heart strings at the same time. The only real problem is that this movie is kinda short. I really wish this movie was much longer. But other than that, it's an amazing apocolyptic thriller done better than any other apocolyptic movie. Expand

Robert Neville the main protagonist played by Will, is a scientist globally recognised, but not even he could contain the petrifying virus at has appeared to be unstoppable. The mystery behind his immunity is unidentified but what is clear is he's "The last man on earth". After a Cancer cure gone wrong it has transformed those injected with the so called vaccine into infected man eaters who have hunted down almost every human remaining. By the time the sun rises its safe due to the infected unable to appear under the sun for unknown reasons but once the sun begins to falls the "zombies" of more intelligences seen before hunt for any life form to eat. In the end it is up to Robert Neville to find the cure in an attempt to save the remaining world. A true classic and must watch for all Zombie fans. Expand

It doesn't follow the book to the fullest though... As the book was written in the fifties they updated it more, and don't follow the main story of the book.
Such as in the book Robert Neville does not have a dog, while in the movie, Robert Neville (Played by Will Smith) has a dog.
Will Smith does a very good job in this movie, and it makes you feel lonely, as did the book. The movie did a very good job of making you ask what was going to happen next. Like in the book, Neville has flash backs about his family, these are not well done.
One scene made me almost cry, a movie has never done that before.
There is two endings but the second one is crap.
The only thing that ruins this movie is CGI monsters. WHY?
I don't remember the book having poor CGI monsters in it that don't look scary.

But anyway...
Unlike the book he has a dog, and this dog is awesome. In this world you see what Neville has to do to survive, and that is very well done.

There isn't much more I can say without spoiling it so I will leave it at that.
Watch this movie!
More importantly read the book, one of the best.

However, I wish there were more zombie scenes. This movie had few zombie scenes, but they were necessary. It is a morvelous watch, there kinds of zombie, for they are not the typical slow and bored zombie. If I need to discribe this film, I will say that it is a piece of art. Expand

The female lion appeared real, but the male lion looked extremely fake. So, with that settled, the movie was actually pretty well made. The loneliness and lack-of-human-contact psychosis exhibited by the main character was perhaps the most compelling part of this whole movie. It was unbearable to watch him lose his only living contact, the German shepherd. Like many reviewers have been saying, the ending of the movie was a bit rushed. They had a real masterpiece, then ventured off into mediocrity. I wonder if it is a function of the pressure to churn movies out as quickly as possible by the studios. It seems like no one wants to put time into making the next Titanic. One last gripe about this movie. Why did the woman at the end have to be so attractive? It's so formulaic. A good movie with a good premise doesn't need a Brazilian cutie to finish it off. Thank God they spared us from a superfluous make-out session with the main character. I thought that it was coming though. Expand

But after that, in seems as if the writers only had, like, 30 minutes left and had to wrap things up in a rushed conclusion. The characters which appears later were made important RIGHT at the conclusion, leaving the viewer feeling empty. When the action does come, it is quite exciting (and please, the effects are great. Seriously). Will Smith is outstanding, but it's a shame that the writers weren't. This movie is definitely worth seeing, just... it really could've been better. Expand
