Will Smith kills his dog, cries and sings Bob Marley. It does not get better than this.

If Will Smith had said “get out of my swamp”, I would have given this five stars.

In that one scene when Smith asks the mannequin if he’s real- the mannequin ACTUALLY moves its head 💀 it’s very hard to catch but so very creepy. Btw for those of you who don’t know, there are two endings to this movie. You can watch either versions anywhere they stream.

Moments in this movie had me very close to crying as it was a pretty sad movie. Robert Neville was an amazing character and showed a lot of braveness to stay alive and save the world.

Pretty good, not at all scary though I will say. Only sad part is when the dog dies.

I Am Legend

The CGI is quite poor. It’s very hard to imagine that this was made the same year as other movies. The plot was interesting and I did love how they displayed how the loss of human interaction causes a descent into madness. Acting was spot on for basically, a one man show.

This was so cool the ending kinda shocked me, they really nailed the feeling of being all alone in a apocalypse, the alternative ending was crazy

Generally favorable reviews based on 830 Reviews

Smith, sporting a newly buffed physique, delivers an extraordinary performance as a man slowly coming unglued under the strain of no human contact and a constantly alternating role of hunter and prey.

Kirk Honeycutt

The Hollywood Reporter

Remarkably eerie yet annoyingly larded with cheap horror-film shock effects, I Am Legend stands as an effective but also irksome adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic 1954 sci-fi novel.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

The first two thirds and change of I Am Legend is terrific mindless fun: crackerjack action with gnashing vampires barely glimpsed (and scarier for that) and how’d-they-do-that New York locations that retroactively justify the traffic jams.
