Critics Consensus

I Am Legend overcomes questionable special effects and succeeds largely on the strength of Will Smith's mesmerizing performance.

If you ignore its flaws, I am Legend can be enjoyed as the perfect brainless Boxing Day blockbuster - but it is essentially a leftover festive turkey.

... focuses on the visceral experience of roaming an empty New York City, a metropolitan ghost town slowly being reclaimed by foliage and wildlife (ostensibly escaped from the zoo and running wild through the abandoned streets).

Amazingly, [Will Smith] not only keeps it credible, he pulls it off with aplomb.

I wanna talk about the ending of the movie, but I won't. It would overshadow a good movie and pretty good performances. Having Will Smith in the lead of the film made the movie. He was in control of the movie, selling the hole, fear and isolation that existed. His acts largely solo and manages to make you feel the desperation. There are some super sad moments in the movie, and it looks very bleak for the second half of the film. Then, the ending. Nothing I say will be any different than any else. Not sure why they got cute and changed it from the book. That's what's holding it back from a higher score.

Shoddy CGI and the derivativeness from the original novel fortunately can't ruin this amazing sci-fi-action-drama with powerful performances, great pacing and story alongside a stellar production design on it's practical side.

My favorite performance by Will Smith. A classic isolating, dystopian movie.
