Will Smith stars in I Am Legend which
is based on the Last Man On Earth story and is set in a desolate New
York. I really, really enjoyed this movie which was directed by Francis
Lawrence. The movie did not try too hard with gore or cheap chases. The
build up and ending were pretty good and there is a strong sense of
desperation which Will carries well. To a certain extent the movie is a
slow burn with tension which grows to a final showdown which was
excellent. This movie is well worth a watch and very well made
technically. It does not attempt to fall back on the earlier movies and
tracks its own path. I give it a C- for not disappointing me. This
could have easily been a cheap monster movie flick but there is more to
the movie than this. Recommended.
