I am Legend
I also saw this movie and I also feel it was freaking amazing. I always expect Will Smith to revert back to his old, youthful jokester, one liner routine but every time I do, I get surprised and he pulls off another magnificent performance for each film. This one is no exception, its deep, its dark, and its very powerful.
You really get the sense of total isolation and being alone in this world, he really seems even more lost and sad then Tom Hanks did on "Cast away". I thought all the flashbacks, limited music use, and even the origins behind the virus were all excellent stuff. This is not an action fest or a gore and guts kind of movie.
It's a dark, intense, dramatic movie that looks and feels wonderful and those dark creatures in the film seem realistic and believable then drastically preposterous Apocalypse mutants of the past. You could really see such creatures existing. I even felt the ending came out better then I expected.
However, I have to disagree on the Dark Knight. I don't think its worth spending 8 dollars to see just one trailer, better to wait for it on the internet, especially after I saw Heath Ledger talking with the Joker make up and all my excitement fell out the window as I was reminded painfully of his appearance.
I really want to feel excited for this movie but.......after seeing him talk in it, I'm not so sure. His acting looks great, just...not...everything else.
