I Am Legend... What a Thriller

The new Will Smith flick, I Am Legend, is looking good so far in this weekend's box office.

Based on the Richard Matheson novel of the same title, is the story about a man who may or may not be the last human survivor of a virus with "vampire like" side effects in the near future.

Dealing with a possibilty of solitude for the rest of his life and then dealing with the "mosters" that evolved from the virus, Robert Neville (Will Smith), is trying to survive and do what is "right" for the human race.

The novel I Am Legend is also the basis of the 1971 movie The Omega Man and it looks like they have done the novel justice once again.

Thius movie is nothing but a high dollar "28 Days Later".

It is all hype. Special effects and Will Smiths humorare the only things that set it apart.
