Anil Sinanan Times (UK) 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. Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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). Apr 6, 2024 Full Review George Fenwick Stuff.co.nz Will Smith is outstanding in this gripping apocalyptic tale. Oct 29, 2021 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Amazingly, [Will Smith] not only keeps it credible, he pulls it off with aplomb. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Kurtis H The movie does have its fair share of some flaws and plot holes but ignoring all that the movie was pretty good. It has great uses camera shots and angles. The movie had great background music that really made most scenes feel very emotional and intense. It has a rocky start for the movie, an emotional middle and an absolute roller coaster of emotions for the end giving of hope and sadness. Overall in my opinion great movie 7.8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review CHRISTOPHER B Película que ya había visto hace tiempo, la verdad es que es bastante buena. Obviamente ví el final alternativo y en mi opinión es mejor el final que está en la película original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Robert S Excellent movie, particularly if you're a sci-fi or post-apocalyptic movie buff. You feel like you are actually in the movie. Suspenseful, thrilling, exciting, and not a movie that you think "this could never happen." Will Smith nailed his part. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Ulises A Dark. The atmosphere is fantastic. Back when Will Smith was cool. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Jonathan O This 3rd remake of The Last Man on Earth is really solid sci-fi horror remake and is very terrifying and Will Smith performance absolutely phenomenal very raw and real and very human of being alone in a end of the world/quarantine thriller and really impressive set design but the vfx are good but for the survivals looks cgi and great script for pandemic era. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Jace E I Am Legend terrified me as a young teenager. I remember the first time seeing this movie and openly saying that I would never watch it again. That wasn't because I thought the movie was bad, but because I am an absolute wuss. Now it's 17 years later and I decided it was time to give it another go. I think that it is a decent post-apocalyptic film and a good entry in the zombie genre. On the positive side, Will Smith is fantastic in this role. His emotion is raw, the connection with the dog (Sam) is beautiful and I felt his pain throughout. Along the same lines, there is a vulnerability to the film that is captivating. I love the alone-ness that Robert Neville feels and it's evident throughout the entire movie. On the negative side, the film moves at a snail's pace. Setting the stage about the disease, the cause and the possible cure is interesting, but the plot dragged more often than not. Honestly, I think the concept is better suited for a short-film or you need to have more happen. Best Character: Sam Best Quote: "This is Ground Zero. This is my site. I can fix. I can fix this." - Robert Best Scene: Goodbye Sam Best Piece of Score: "I'm Listening" Note: The CGI in this movie has aged horribly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
