Review of I Am Legend (2007) by Espère A — 14 Oct 2014

When I was younger, I thought this was one of the worst movies ever made. In retrospect, I was rather impatient. It's not the worst movie ever made, but in my opinion, it's still quite overrated, and really boring.

While the film itself wasn't incredibly long, the story itself is paced in such a way that it's hard to follow, because the first half of the film basically consisted of virtually nothing happening.

The acting is decent, but it's nothing to write an outstanding report about, especially when the plot starts to make less and less sense, to the point that it's baffling that the characters are even going along with it.

If there's one good thing I have to say about this movie in particular, it's that the production values are quite decent. Even then, however, the special effects are questionable at best, and the film itself is quite a pain to sit through, especially when you have to witness the slow and horrible death of the main character's dog.

In short, this was a film that, on top of being boring, was painful to watch in so many ways, but there are movies that were much worse.
