What are people's specific gripes about Will Smith's acting? I understand somewhat the "he plays the same guy" one. Other than that, I have no idea why he is getting all of the hate.

He's a blockbuster machine for better or worse. I don't think them casting Smith was a mistake that will hurt the movies moneymaking ability. And I hardly think he will ruin the movie from an acting standpoint; it's a damn vampire-ish movie.

Its based on a book written by Richard Matheson back in the 1950s. Basically its about the last guy on earth as everyone else has turned into vampires.

Had to pick this up and read it. It's more of a novella, so it is a fast read. Highly enjoyable, especially if you like sci-fi or horror.

As you would think from the premise, very existential in nature. You have to wonder how it will translate to a blockbuster type movie with Will Smith. It should make for good seed material for an action flick, but I doubt it will be able to cover the same ground.
