I Am Legend

There’s an awful lot of stupid in this movie. It’s (probably) not Will Smith’s fault; the first half of the movie, when it’s mostly just him (and the dog) doing his thing--really, carrying the action--the film is quite good, almost fascinating. But then things really start to go south about two thirds of the way through...and, as it is with most of life, the problem is other people. Compound the OP problem with some really bad storytelling turns that ultimately make no sense at all, as well as a major, last-shot logical blunder, and you wind up with a movie that feels much worse than it actually is. Ultimately, it’s just a real lost opportunity. Hardly legendary stuff.
