He wanders alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.

I believe they wrote this part for Denzel. Too bad they cast Will Smith.

I didn't enjoy this one. The Omega man with Charlton Heston is a far superior movie.

Great movie! But could have done without him having to kill his dog. That ruined it for me 😥

It was good. I read the book awhile ago and the story in the book is much better than the story of this movie. I was disappointed that they didn't just stick to that.

This is a great film. Will Smith gives a great and heartbreaking performance. The plot is good and there are a few sad and emotional moments so don't watch if you're easily upset. The CGI hasn't aged well, as the infected look like video game monsters. Overall, if you enjoy post apocalyptic/zombie films then you'll enjoy this one.

Saw it as a kid, loved it. Saw it again, still fun and good, but though it was much deeper than it actually is. Still interesting themes and good acting.

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).

Amazingly, [Will Smith] not only keeps it credible, he pulls it off with aplomb.
