I Am Legend

It has got to be extremely difficult holding the attention of an eager audience for 75% of a movie with only yourself and a dog, but Will Smith did it. In fact, he succeeded so much while acting out his isolation on Manhattan that I would have been content if no supporting actors weaved their way into the storyline.

Already outdated special effects (the vampire mutants look like shit), a cheesy and convenient ending, and unlikeable characters thrown in at the end of the film hurt the movie's quality, but props must be given to Will Smith, who manages, in his quest to salvage mankind, also manages to salvage this film.

Rating: 6.5/10
