Audience Reviews for I Am Legend

Mar 10, 2016

I Am Legend is suspenseful, has nice cinematography and visuals as well as having a good performance by Will Smith. The negatives I have are the CGI as well as the ending. The CGI looked very noticeable especially on the mutants and the ending I feel could've been handled differently. Other than that I Am Legend is a solid post-apocalypse film.

You can either love it or hate it, but Will Smith's powerful acting is something you can never deny.

Maymay A Super Reviewer
Nov 18, 2013

Although the pacing in many parts can be a bit slow, and parts of the script don't work, I Am Legend succeeds mainly due to its eerie tone and excellent performance from Will Smith. It is an intense and satisfying film that will thrill viewers.

Joey T Super Reviewer
May 13, 2013

This post-apocalyptic zombie-based film is strong thanks to in part the special effect/CGI work as well as the strong lead of Will Smith. I Am Legend is graphic in the realms of loneliness and isolation and makes a solid film for audiences to enjoy. 4/5
