Will Smith (i Am Legend)
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is all alone with his dog in a wild life city of deer roaming the streets. The cars look abandoned, and grass and weeds have grown through the paved streets of Manhattan. A virus has killed everyone.
Robert is the only survivor, besides his dog. He lives barricaded inside of his home. Robert’s doors and windows are sealed up tightly by steel shutters. During the day, he and his dog are free to go outside, but at night, there are monstrous, pale, and angry zombies that come out. They can’t stand the sunlight. The zombies are killers with sharp teeth. Robert has a basement, which looks like a laboratory, where he is trying to find a cure for the virus.
Watching the movie, you can get lost in how dog is man’s best friend. Robert spends a lot of time with his dog, and tries to make him eat his vegetables. He gives the dog a bath and makes him exercise. Everywhere Neville went, the dog was sure to go. But in the end, his dog got in a fight with some other monstrous dogs of the zombies along with his master. The dog was hurt badly from poisonous bites. Robert tried to save the dog holding him like a baby. It is sad to say that he lost his best friend.
One night, Robert gets attacked by the angry zombies again in his vehicle. This time he is attacked alone without his dog. Just as one zombie was about to get the best of him, some light appeared, and he was saved by another survivor named Anna. Anna was like an angel who had a little boy. Robert made friends with them.
In the end, the zombies attacked Robert’s home again. Anna and her son were with him. To get rid of some of them, Robert turned some bright lights on which they could not stand. He blew some of them up, but they just kept on coming. Robert, Anna, and the boy went down into the basement where Robert had just found a cure. The zombies found him, and he quickly closed the lab glass door to shut them out so that they could not reach them. Robert tried to talk to the zombies and tell them that he could cure them. He tried to show them the young girl that was a zombie tied down on his laboratory bed being cured. They would not listen to Robert. They kept on trying to bust into the glass door slowly breaking it. Anna and her son got away, while Robert chose to stay in the lab and risk his life.
Did Robert Die? Go see the movie. I think it is an excellent movie that deserves 10 stars.

Cool review. I’m curious to see the film just because I love the book and the other two film adaptations (The Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth) were so bad. Will Smith is nothing like I imagined Robert Neville, but hopefully the vampire creatures and the hunting of them will be okay.
Have you read the book, Gail? Do you know if there are any major plot changes?
thanks for the writeup

Hi Emma!
Thanks for your comment. Those vampire creatures were something else. They were evil and blood thirsty. I think Will Smith did a great job. I have not read the book, but I wouldn’t be surprised if
the book has a whole lot more than the movie. When they make movies, they never seem to go by the books exactly. You can see the previews on my blog at http://gail-articleinfo.blogspot.com.
Maybe I will do just that!
Can’t promise you that you will like the movie. But I think it was pretty good. Watch Will Smith’s facial expressions. And when he cried waving bye to his family, it looked like real tears were rolling down his face.
robert dies by using a grenade to blow up the zombies
Hi, Kit.
Yep, he dies.
they werent zombies they were vampires…think about it “dark-seekers”, the sun is deadly to them… and plus it sas bloodthirsty vampires in the info of the movie.. so might want to correct that.
They are called zombies and vampires according to Wikipedia. It doesn’t matter. Call them whatever you wish.
