Casting is always important. Always. The right person in a role and it seems written just for them; the wrong person and the whole tone of a film can tilt and miss the mark. Especially precarious is the job of casting the only role in a film. The ...
Pros: Will Smith. Interesting plot. Cons: I didn't like a few things that happened. Some of the CGI didn't look good.
Will Smith first became popular as a rapper and from starring on a television show before managing to cross over to making major movies. Most of his movies have been very successful and I have seen and enjoyed many of them. I wasn't exactly sure what ...
Pros: Smith does a wonderful job; the emptiness of New York City Cons: CGI creatures are a bit overdone; the last act of the movie
It’s almost strange watching New York City become a ghost town considering the populace that resides within the heart of Manhattan, but I Am Legend extols on the fact that, despite our supposed superiority, we will eventually be our own ...
Pros: Excellent special effects, great suspense, exciting action sequences. Cons: There were some discrepancies in the writing.
Before I get started, let me say that 1) I did not read the book, so there will not be any comparisons between the book and the movie, 2) I did not see the movie from 1997, so those comparisons will not be made, and 3) I will not reveal any major plot ...
Pros: *Exciting *Just the right amount of suspense *Great acting by Will Smith *Interesting Cons: *A couple of unnessasary scenes..not a big con though
I have enjoyed watching Will Smith in many movies and enjoyed his earliest attempts at acting in Fresh Prince of Bel Air so when my daughter asked me if I wanted to go and see his latest movie I Am Legend at a theater in the next town, on the Mega ...
Pros: amazing adaptation, Will Smith's performance, excellent visuals, cute dog Cons: the ending, the "vampires"
The latest adaptation of I Am Legend, a 1954 sci-fi novel by Richard Matheson, is a worthy addition to The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man, the two previous adaptations before it. Most folks don’t realize it, but the novel I Am Legend ...
Pros: Smith is good--most of the time, some cool empty NYC effects, nice cautionary tale... Cons: Pacing issues, Smith-as-Scientist, depressing movie...
Having two young boys, we don't get to go out to movies nearly as often as we'd like. When we do, we need to make sure it's a movie that A) is worth not only the price of the movie tickets, but also the babysitter...and B) is one that won't have one ...
Pros: Smith, dog, eerie New York landscape Cons: awfully depressing
Lying patiently atop my must-see movie list at the moment is The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, a feel-good movie about a monster entirely lacking in malicious intent. Alas, few folks share my desire to see that fuzzfest, so the other day, I ...
Pros: What if we all got infected... Cons: Oooo, New York abandoned...!
A film about AIDS, I Am Legend not only predicts the future of medical research but also establishes as a metaphor the world population as a mutated force intent on preventing a cure. The story loads the mise-en-scene with pressure points designed to ...
Pros: Plot, characters, excellent storytelling, grand emotional depth, and more.
Cons: None
They sought to build wings to the sun and at the height of the dream the beautiful wings melted and as the dream plummeted back to earth, millions died. In their scientific discovery and their haste for a utopian world, they destroyed everything leaving ...
Pros: soulful, provocative, with great performances Cons: animated zombies may be too obviously animated for zombie purists
I Am Legend is the latest - and best - version of the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson. The original story, set in Los Angeles, imagines a soul survivor of a bacterial plague, one causing widespread vampirism. This connection - between bacteriology and ...
Pros: Very slick - pure popcorn fun. Cons: No depth, no risk-taking.
In I Am Legend , Will Smith portrays Robert Neville, the sole survivor in NYC of a plague that has apparently wiped humanity from the planet. Well, most of humanity. Those who did not die degenerated into “Dark Seekers” - some sort of ...
Pros: The Isolation feels real Cons: The monsters look like crap, the story falls apart in the second reel.
Let me start off with saying that I Am Legend is an amazingly frustrating film. Half of the movie is really good and half of the movie is astoundingly bad. It's almost as if two scripts with more or less the same premise - one written by Akira Kurosawa ...
Pros: Scary; 'one alone against all odds' theme; Will Smith carries the film. Cons: Definitely not for the kids, a well-deserved PG-13. An 'Old Yeller' moment.
... Will Smith has made a career of portraying strong-willed, loner characters. While there are often other characters involved, in the end it is the Smith character that does what needs to be done to resolve the story. Case in point: I Am ...
Pros: Great set design of a dead Manhattan, fine Smith performance, grippy Cons: The last third is a routine haunted house movie
I Am Legend is the third cinematic attempt on Richard Matheson’s 1960-ish classic sci-fi novella of the same name. There, a Los Angeles suburbanite named Richard Neville appears to be the last uninfected survivor of an unnamed plague. With ...
