With "I Am Legend," Will Smith has accomplished what Tom Hanks did back in 2000: Effectively star in a movie that involves very little interaction with other human counterparts.

The monsters are routine CGI creations, crudely animated and unconvincing. In a film of such visual majesty and surprisingly weighty drama, they present an unfortunate and needless distraction.

...a triumph of set design and CGI over story line or credibility.

Will Smith shows some promise trying to find a cure for a horrific virus, but somehow the plot becomes Shrek, Bob Marley and God trying to save the world.

If a horror movie is of true holy-bejesus caliber, you should be exhaling with relief at the end instead of thinking, 'Gee, that went fast!'

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 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.

I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more horror than heart, but it is never boring.
