*Spoilers

I Am Legend, movie starring Will Smith, about the "last man on earth". Perhaps he is the last man in New York City, but on earth, no. It's entertaining with the hardships he has to suffer after losing everything so close and dear to him. Very different from the book and possible better because it's more modern.

Will Smith does a wonderful job, and there are small quirky details that you just gotta love like the part when he can recite a whole chunk of the Shrek movie. If the movie had been longer, perhaps plot development could be better.

The alternate ending on the DVD is much more interesting that quickly makes a touching scene and makes Robert Neville come out alive, unlike the original version when he killed himself to save Ethan and Montez. That's what makes the DVD better.

Bottom Line: Worthwhile if you don't mind blood and death. Can be disturbing at times, but there's some meaning behind it like what if something like that happened to us in the future? Perhaps we can learn.
