I am Legend (2007)

(2007)

Starring: Just Will Smith, right? Think again.

Director: Francis Lawrence
Synopsis: A plague killed everyone on the planet except for Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith)... Then he fights zombies.

Nick's Insight: I'm not going to ask why there were zombies in this movie, because they were bad-ass. I'm not going to poke fun at Will Smith, because we're both millionaire Hollywood actors (Plus, who's the one with the Oscar?). I'm not going to say many bad things about this movie because most remakes these days blow ass. The only thing that I couldn't figure out about this movie is when did Dr. Neville become black? He was beautifully hansome and white in the Omega Man. I mean, was becoming black a side-effect of being immune to the plague?... I think I'd rather take the plague.

The years were terrible to Dr. Neville

I respect Will Smith to a point. In 2002 Will Smith got in good enough shape to be believable as Muhammed Ali and everyone wanted to suck his dick and give him an Oscar. Seriously? Did no one see Ghostrider? Fuck Muhammed Ali, do you know how hard it is to get as ripped as a comic-book hero?


One thing I never knew about Will Smith is that when he was a young child he saw the movie mannequin and was so terrified that now he does things like this when he sees a mannequin:

That was actually filmed during the lunch break. He had no idea any cameras were on. Get that man some psychiatric care.

The most emotional scene in the movie is when Will Smith has to kill his only friend, his dog, by choking it out when it gets the plague. I get that it's sad and all, but strangling a dog is so easy... try choking out a travolta.

We filmed this scene in only one take and I had to be tasered until I let go.
Travolta still has a restraining order on me.

Adding it up: Will Smith + Dog Killing + Sweet Zombies - Attempt at a Tearjerker = 6 out of 8mm.
