The main problem with this film was the inability to focus on what the character had completely learned to live without. We were continually fed the rights to what he had invented for himself, but ultimately, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in the fact that Will Smith's character relied far too much on his scenery rather than his internal submissions or solitude.
We've been here a dozen times over, folks. "Don't go toward the dark, don't focus on the failure but rather the faith," "Exude the eternal exclamation of error; profit from patience," and yet, the poignant potential of "I Am Legend" was cautiously crippled by cliches, for which was stitched throughout the entirety of its story, its styles, its sadistic villains, even throughout the predictable portions of a classical conclusion.
I wanted more here, obviously, because think about it - what sort of intrigue could a world such as this invent for a real person? That's interesting; not a zoned group of zombies shading our hero with a flushed funk of fantasy. Take the material, and make New York City more frightening for an adult who just so happened to have lived in a flesh-and-blood sort of world, where real science abandons humanity's hope of technological ingredients forging itself into a fortunate future.
