Will Smith: The Stuff of 'Legend'new
Moment for moment, Smith is simply dazzling, and for all the undeniably impressive work the actor has done on his physique for this role, what's most appealing about Smith is his native intelligence -- the way you see him thinking his way through a role -- and his capacity for human weakness.

'I Am Legend': Not a Classicnew
There's a sizeable early-to-middle stretch in the decidedly post-apocalyptic flick that drew this viewer involuntarily (and more than once) to his seat-edge and managed to hold him more palpably rapt than a great many ostensibly comparable films of recent years.

'I Am Legend': Apocalypse Nahnew
The biggest problem -- the one that prevents the film from rising above mediocrity -- is that it sometimes grabs you by the balls, yet it's afraid to twist like an apocalypse should.

$128 Million Later: Will Smith is the Last Movie Star on Earthnew
The exteriors are stunning, and sadly, an insistent, ongoing metaphor for the script's inability to suggest much interior life.

Barren Sci-fi Horror Bites the Hand That Wrote it
Director Francis Lawrence was clearly not the best choice to helm the latest adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 classic sci-fi/horror blender that spawned The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man.

Well-Acted Hellnew
Even though Keanu Reeves is slightly less sucky than one may expect, Constantine should still be avoided.

Between Heaven and Hellnew
Adapted from Alan Moore’s groundbreaking DC/Vertigo comic title, Constantine is sure to divide the series’ most rabid fans, but those who can set aside their preconceptions will discover one of the more artfully designed comic-based films in some time.

Keanu Reeves Battles Demons and Angels alikenew
The loose adaptation of DC Comics' Hellblazer fumbles with some intriguing spiritual notions, but never seizes our imagination. Despite showing a hero who clashes with demons and angels, Constantine lacks soul.
