I Am Legend

This had to be one of the biggest build ups to a movie that I had seen in a long time. So it had to be good, right? Wrong!!

I was sorely disappointed with I Am Legend. Though Will Smith did a phenomenal job in portraying loneliness, I was left with the bitter taste of disgust in my mouth. The villains were unbelievable, the premise was unthinkable. I could go on, but I will not.

For those Will Smith fans (I am one of them) I Am Legend was a let down. The whole movie never spurred a fearful moment. I never felt that the hero of the movie was in danger. He was too perfect of a character. When the movie began, I already knew how it would end. Will Smith died the hero's death; for this kind of movie, it was not the appropriate ending. I felt that the protagonist (Will Smith) needed to see the fruits of his labor.

I know what you are going to say (if you have already seen the movie). Yes, he did know that he had finished his research, yes he did know that he had found the answer. However, becoming a martyr was not the high point of his career. I would not encourage anyone to see this movie.
