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.

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.
