I Am Legend

this review has sat in the drafts page for months, readin what i had written after a space of time it appears i have taken a long way for a short cut so i have decided to delete it and start again, i will be concise shall i?

I am legend is crap.

Review over.

Nah, to be honest, it starts ok, Will Smith is alright, then it gets dark and its just the same old same old. and the monsters who are afraid of sunlight look terrible, totally cgi'd they look atrocious, a big mistake. The cgi dogs looked the biz mind you, but the diseased humans look mince. also the whole film plays like a episode of Lost; flashbacks give a backstory, lots of walking about alone, hunting, scientific experiments aplenty, if there was a big fat guy in it you wouldnt know the difference.

a plus point is that it doesnt last more than 2hrs and do that which most films of this ilk do; being throw everything into the ring and have about seven endings, it gets wrapped up in about an hour and a half and for me that is its saving grace. but i have been reliably informed that the book is better and the other film incarnations are too, dunno bout that but worth pondering for a moment.

so i say give it a whirl if you must, it wont take forever but dont expect too much, its due out on dvd soon so let me take a guess at reviewing the extras, a backslapping doco about the cgi work, stop talking pish, the monsters look like fuck all twice ya dicks! plus a commentary which is alright.

ta da.
