In what has been a pretty remarkable career up to now, it's this performance that fully affirms Smith as one of the great leading men of his generation.

Trouble enters only when the script overcomplicates things in the end. Until then, especially in a growling dogfight, director Francis Lawrence (Constantine) keeps you squirming.

"I Am Legend" is undeniably my favorite film in the post-apocalyptic genre. From its chilling premise to its heart-pounding action, every aspect of the movie resonated deeply with me. Will Smith's portrayal of the last surviving human in a world ravaged by a deadly virus is both captivating and poignant. The film's exploration of isolation, survival, and the human condition left a lasting impact on me. The suspenseful atmosphere and stunning visuals further heightened the experience, making it an unforgettable cinematic journey. Without revealing any spoilers, I can confidently say that "I Am Legend" is a masterpiece of its genre and a film that I cherish dearly. Whether you're a fan of post-apocalyptic stories or simply appreciate compelling storytelling, this movie is a definite must-watch.

Genuinely a fun film, I've watched this so many times. Great production value and great story.

As Tom Hanks did in "Cast Away," Will Smith pulls off this half-insane role perfectly.

Instead of maintaining its edgy sense of constant discomfort, the movie is compelled to make Neville as fuzzily adorable and messianic as possible.

A little more than halfway in, Legend, based on the book by Richard Matheson (which also spawned 1971's Omega Man and 1964's TheLast Man on Earth), deteriorates into a schlocky zombie horror flick and loses its steam.

A big part of the reason for this movie's nose dive around the one-hour mark is that, seen up close, the Infected just aren't that scary.

Unfortunately, after those first 10 minutes it’s all downhill for I Am Legend, as the film descends into a monster-movie malaise starring a horde of balding CGI monsters that look like refugees from a video game and that will scare absolutely no one, save those who worry that green-screening is ruining the movies.

Wonderful, soulful movie that entertains you from start to finish keeping you in a constant feeling of anxiety.

Will Smith's huge likability is on full display because hardly anything happens in this film and I still liked it. Better stoned.

save yourself time and do not watch this film. it is very boring and provides nothing to the audience. also has horrifically bad CGI which takes you out of the film. there are also some very bad moments throughout the film that ruins it. in conclusion, do not watch this film unless you want to bored.

Despite being well directed with a solid performance, the story fails to stay interesting. Pacing becomes too slow. The zombies are too unrealistic. There are too many unanswered questions. There's no true villain. A movie to avoid even those who are a fan of the genre.
