have see i be legend and i have become an instant will smith fan and and run out to rent his old work . though will do a commendable and classy act job in the role and the film itself just do not work . on the most basic level and the pacing be off . halfway through the film it just start to drag ( you begin to wish they would just get on with it . we know he go to get the job and let at least see him at dean witter a little more and watch him go through the training and the frustration there as well . ) and a for the problem will character face along the way represent 1 ) they start to get a little ridiculous after awhile . the scanner be steal twice and he get hit by a car ( and no and these particular crisis do not happen in the real life story and from what i understand . so it just hollywood embellishment . ) 2 ) i couldn not help think along with some other reader that some of the problem be his own fault . he should have give his son to his wife . a man with no income should not be try to raise a son . and a point out in another post he have know for some time that the scanner business wasn not pan out . yet he persist and force his wife to work double shift and let both rent and tax fall dangerously behind . dude and that when you get any job that pay the bill and put the sale work aside . it never should have get to that point at all . that my five cent . love will smith and think the movie just do not work . thank god there i be legend .
