I Am Legend is very similar to ordering a Quiznos sandwich. Sometimes the anticipation of going to Quiznos is as good as the actual sub. The intro to Legend is exactly like this. Desolate slices of bread are soon joined slowly with honey mustard, tomato, turkey, cheese. The sandwich, in this case the movie, are starting to form and at this point it looks like exactly what you wanted. Then as the action heats up and the bread becomes toasted, all the ingredients are melting together beautifully. You wait, wait, and wait as the sub nears its conveyer belt heat up. Then the sandwich is pulled out from the rolling oven, and a slight twist in the form of guacamole is added without you asking for it. But, at this point you don’t care enough to say anything because honestly, guacamole, or zombies as the case may be, isn’t a bad change of pace.
The trouble is that you’ve become so hungry from the start, thanks to the anticipation, that suddenly you’ve finished your sandwich is done just like that. I Am Legend does exactly the same. It develops nice and slowly but then is done and finished awfully quick.
The end.
