If you don't know, dis is meh first review, and if you also didnt know, this movie is based off a comic book. (Marvel/DC I dunno). This is a zombie movie, and it has a lot of character developement with the main char, Robert Neville. Anyway, reviewy time;
Premise: 10/10. Amazing story, (Dun worry, no spoilers), It starts off with some doctor who cures cancer, which mutates into the deadly zombie virus. Robert Neville is the last man who survives in New York, and finds ways to cope, as well as Trying to find a cure.
Best Zombie Movie Premise Ever IMO. Dawn of the dead series never explained anything, the zombies were just there, RE was ok, but it's based off the game, even though I'm a fan of movies, why watch it when you can play it? And as for Shawn of the Dead, (Yes I have to, I'm sorry), Funny movie, no char developement, And its by no means a scary movie. And none of these movies come even close to the awesome-ness of I am Legend.
Music: 8/10. I for one, am a fan of Bob Marley, as well as other heavier bands, such as Mettallica or the all favoured DragonForce, which they didn't have, which I will cover in a sec. As for the other music in the movie... There wasnt much to speak of, Some Orchestral work, which I liked, but for those big fight scenes, It's good that they didn't put any rock/metal in like the afore mentioned, and some RE scenes. It would've completley ruined the movie, for me at least.
Action/Suspence/Drama: 100/10. The fight scenes were awesome, the first time I went to see it I was like, "OMGOMGOMG", And the whole backstory stuff adds that little bit to make this movie a piece of art. There's also a good down time between the action and the drama. Day and Night, Day good, Night bad, dur.
CG Work: 10/10. The Zombies looked so realistic didn't they? And not realistic like "They look like they could be some form of geniticly alterd bla bla bla", I mean, This is one of the movies that show how far technoligy has advenced. But even that being said, That technology is already out of date, thus making it not as good as it really is.
Anyway, if you're a fan of Zombies/Comic story Remakes, then I say GOGOGO! But even if you aren't This movie is still way more than you'd think it is. (owait hmm damn hype).

For me, zombies are people who died and were reanimated as the living dead. IE, in 28 days later, the infected are NOT ZOMBIES because they never died in the first place.

Wrong, it was based on a book, and this is in fact the third movie based on the book.
I thought the movie was very good, but not amazing. 8.5/10 IMO

Funny thing is, the book was about vampires, not zombies.
