Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: A mainstream Hollywood actor who seems committed to igniting science fiction features, Will Smith chalked up another sizeable hit in the shape of I Am Legend, the latest cinematic adaptation of Richard Matheson's book of the same name.
This time, Smith plays Robert Neville, the last man on an Earth emptied by a deadly virus that he continues to try and find a working vaccine for. With just his dog for company, and the fear of the vampires that haunt the night never far away, I Am Legend quickly establishes itself as a taut, highly watchable blockbuster, with plenty of reasons to gnaw at your nail.
Where I Am Legend really scores is in the excellent first half. The scenes of a deserted New York are quite staggering, and it's also to Smith's immense credit that he holds the attention even though for the most part he's the only person on the screen. It's a quite wonderful opening hour that the film enjoys, and one that easily stands repeat viewings alone.
The back half of I Am Legend is, almost inevitably, not quite the match of what's gone before, as the threats of the night don't, when you finally see them, live up to expectations. Nonetheless, for Smith's performance, and the sheer quality of the build up, I Am Legend can stand side-by-side with the last take on the story, the Charlton Heston-starrer The Last Man On Earth. Take either home, and you're in for a rollicking good night in front of the telly. --Jon Foster

This is the third time Richard Matheson's excellent book has been given the big screen treatment. It works well - the atmosphere of isolation is done well, and the shots of a deserted New York are very eerie in places. Will Smith gives a good performance as the last man on earth, fighting hard to keep things together.
The action is very good, although there isn't much of it. This is a good movie to experience in the right kind of mood. Recommended.

I have mixed feelings about "I Am Legend"; Will Smith does very well as a one-man show throughout most of this film and captured the insanity that comes with the solitude very well. I especially liked the scene where he is alone in the DVD store saying to one of the plastic models: "Hello" and `say hello to me'. It really made me feel compassionate towards the character as I can't imagine what it's like to be so lonely you've resorted to speaking to inanimate objects as if they are real.
The most surprising part of the film is seeing a city, absent of life, at the beginning. It was kind of creepy with the one man, one dog and deserted land.
I think the zombies could have been made better; they could have been made ... Read More:

I've just watched this - bored on a Friday night, whilst having a rare night to myself.
And you know what, I was expecting some awful Will Smith vehicle with the worst CGI ever in the world. EVER.
Imagine my surprise when I get neither, and what I do get is a half decent, and in places rather touching portrayal of a desperate survivor played with an amazing degree of subtlety by an actor I usually avoid like the plague (see what I did there). Yes, the CGI is crap, but in no way does it really detract from the story. Some sections of the press absolutely mauled this film for a number of different reasons. Remember, the only critic that ever matters is YOU. I wouldn't even class this a guilty pleasure. Yes, it could have ... Read More:

After all the hype before release and then all the damning reviews after release I just knew this film must have potential for me to find it enjoyable. Having never read the book of the title I cannot complain the lack of faithfulness to the "supposed" source but can any film really be 100% faithful to it's source book??
Will Smith has impressed me over the years by the diverse film roles he has taken on and in this one, which for most of the film he carries the plot single-handed (apart from a great paw support from his dog!!) he reaches new heights as a solo performer, no easy feat by any actor's standards.
Most of the reviews damn the CGI and maybe they are right but for me, a child of the pre-CGI generation, I don't ... Read More:

I liked most of the film, loved the zombies/infected people and thought it was going well with quite a bit of action but then it came to the end and (I won't ruin it) it was quite dissaponting, I felt as if it was just quickly put together as they couldn't decide what to do.
Also it was wayyyy too short, by the time I got really into it and knew exactly what was happening it was practically over.
Dont get me wrong its a good film, but the end was a bit of a let down and it was short.
