Director: Francis Lawrence
Eerie and breathtakingly evocative, the solid I Am Legend nevertheless tries to be too many things to too many people, weighed down with cheap horror-film shock effects and barely passable CGI, instead of trusting in its legitimately captivating
The exacting demands of filmgoing audiences have finally drawn out the heart of this book. (Disclosure: I have not read it, but now am willing to. For the antidote to this impulse, see The Omega Man.) Adding a dog probably didn't hurt either.
I liked a lot of things about this movie, but there were two things that I didn’t care for too much.
O impacto dramático de seu desfecho é um tributo não só à narrativa construída com talento pelo diretor, mas também ao carisma do cada vez mais eficiente Will Smith.
I Am Legend has everything a great summer blockbuster should have - except it's hitting theaters in December, not June.
Facing down a body-slamming, wholly inarticulate Alpha Male, Neville appeals to their shared humanity, even though it's obvious: the damage of difference has been done.

The acting by Smith is excellent as he plays Robert Neville, a scientist who is slowly going crazy as the last uninfected human being in New York City.
Las libertades que se toma al adaptar la novela de culto de Richard Matheson no impiden que sea un entretenimiento efectivo y por momentos inquietante.
a solid piece of entertainment
I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more horror than heart, but it is never boring.
So often, sci-fi is overproduced, but I Am Legend doesn't look like a CGI extravaganza. It looks like an edgy suspense movie shot on the fly in New York City after the fall. And because of that, it's all the more effective.
A film capable of more, settling for less.
Scary, thought-provoking, jump-in-your seat suspenseful, it conjures up a 'Cast Away' meets 'Dawn of the Dead' concoction full of simultaneous solitude and nightmares.
'I Am Legend' is essentially a Will Smith one-man show, and he succeeds marvelously.
Smith is a good deal better than Arnold might have been, and the dog is wonderful. Watch the first hour and see something a bit special.
Bold, and successfully maintains suspense.
first-time feature director Francis Lawrence deserves an ovation for his scene-setting and early scare count.
What started out so promisingly, a companion piece of sorts to Children of Men, disappears in a frenzy of screaming, head-banging, bloodiness - followed by totally unconvincing redemption.
The actor’s natural charisma carries the movie in I Am Legend, a film in which Smith is left talking to himself most of the time.
