It is surprising to find the review now. But life was too hectic for me and I couldn't catch this movie on big screen when it was released a couple of months ago. Got a DVD on Sunday and watched it only to get surprised.

The positives

1. Will Smith's brilliant histrionics as virologist. But the director failed to exploit his skills.
2. Fantastic visuals, specially the opening scene where New York is shown completely deserted.

The negatives

1. A lady appearing from no where and saving Will Smith from the devils.
2. Lack of exciting screenplay. Such films really need crisp screenplay. Though the film has been edited to last less than one and a half hour, the screenplay is really not gripping. The director should have showed the behavior of the affected species during nights and a couple of scenes showing the hero frustrated and venting out his anger, etc.
3. The climax of the film is really short, in fact looks like a sudden stop. The entry of the lady signals the beginning of the climax. Though the hero killing himself to justify the title is good, but doesn't suit the film.

A bit of more ground work and better handling of the script and climax would have made the film more exciting. In sum, I Am Legend is an average fare.
