Re: I am Legend - Will Smith Last Man on Earth
I saw this last week (I was out in Hong Kong and it came out last week there). I thought it took a little while to get going although to be fair a scene needed to be set cos its not set in just a normal world. Id definitely draw comparisons with 28 days later although its not as good as that. Smiths does a fine job as per and depicts the loneliness of being the last man on earth well including some funny talking to himself type dialogue. There also a couple of real tearjerk moments (well I saw quite a few girls crying in the cinema anyway) but they were genuinely emotional. However, I thought where the villains/vampires/zombies whatever you call them were involved they could have done a lot better. They were full on cgi crud really looked like a computer game more or less and they were nowhere near as scary as they should be (in contrast with the 28 days/28 weeks later films for example). In short I would say by day its a quality piece of sci fi but by night its standard fare thriller. Worth watching though its decent and has its moments.
