The Good:
I dig the premise of this story, it seems nearly every few years has a retelling of I Am Legend (copyright 1954) in one way or another. I suppose the modern zombie film has Matheson to thank for its basic plot.
I enjoyed following the character around the empty streets of New York, the little things really made the role believable.
I liked the dog.
The action was alright in it.
The Bad:
It just felt like something was missing... hard to say what, but at the end I was just saying to myself, "Well, I guess it was a movie." Nothing really excited me.
The end - blah and boo!
I would have liked a little more explanation about the "main bad guy", I mean I guess I get it but... really...
The science versus religion thing was done better in earlier film.
Overall: It was a decent enough movie, but it was better as The Omega Man or even better than that as The Last Man on Earth (for my review of it click here)!

If you want to see what was missing - read the book. The book was incredible, short but very good. It will give you what was missing - and also reveal that the main character was actually a blonde haired blue eyed white man.
However - I have a weak spot for Will Smith and hoped that he would be successful in this endeavor. Not everyone can pull off Tom Hanks with a volleyball for two hours.
