I love I am Legend, the book. Richard Matheson's portrayal of loneliness, isolation, and eventual insanity and redemption was always one of my favorite books.



The original movie, The Last Man on Earth, was good and came fairly close. The Omega Man, the second try, was more of a campy affair, but it's one of my favorite movies.



This one has got to be one of the most faithfull to the core of the book. Will Smith, in a very poignant performance, captures the core of what the book was about. This is a very hard movie to carry, even for a star of his caliber, because for most of the movie, he's by himself.



I loved it, from the empty spaces of Manhattan to the wandering animals in the streets, it's eerily portrayed as the aftermath a plague and it works well. The direction isn't frenetic, characterization is great. The only complain I had was the creatures. They look too computer generated. Minor complaint for an otherwise great movie.



See it, if you haven't seen it already. The blu-ray version has excellent color definition and the sound punches the experience up greatly.



If you like Will Smith, or just want to see what would happen if you were the only person left on Earth, this is the movie to see.
