I Am Legend overcomes questionable special effects and succeeds largely on the strength of Will Smith's mesmerizing performance.

If you ignore its flaws, I am Legend can be enjoyed as the perfect brainless Boxing Day blockbuster - but it is essentially a leftover festive turkey.

... focuses on the visceral experience of roaming an empty New York City, a metropolitan ghost town slowly being reclaimed by foliage and wildlife (ostensibly escaped from the zoo and running wild through the abandoned streets).

Such a good movie. Super suspenseful. Well written and superbly acted. It's too scary for me, but I rewatch it anyway because it is so good.

Not like the book but it’s still massively entertaining to me, I like the modern virus concept of the “vampires”. It’s got some tense, scary moments throughout, I like how Robert’s backstory is conveyed, epic conclusion.

Definitely one of Will Smiths greatest performences, with most of the movie run time alone, he shows a broken but not defeated man, on the cusp of insanity, due to past mistakes of ultimately bringing the end to civilized society,

Conforming cinematography and dodgy visual effects keep I Am Legend from becoming the creative cinematic monster it could be, but strong writing and acting from its leads pushes Francis Lawrence's zombie thriller a rotting head and shoulders above the rest just enough for the film to achieve four stars. From me, anyway.
