Critics Consensus

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).

There's just something about this film that hits me in the right places. Will Smith is captivating and truly believable. The connection to Bob Marley and his dog is an anchor that endures throughout and is very relatable. His pain in isolation is so well acted.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If you're a Will Smith fan, this is a must. Great movie. Not as good as some of his others but still very good.

Filme legal pra caramba, o roteiro é legal, gostei do will smith como o personagem principal, o filme tem várias cenas boas, como a cena de enfrentando vários cachorros infectados e gostei também da Alice Braga como coadjuvante no filme, no final ele salva a mulher e mata os infectados e ele mesmo com uma Granada, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

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

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.
