Hancock

Monday, October 6th, 2008

 Hancock is not the generic superhero film and is probably one of the more ingenious ideas to come across a producer’s desk in quite some time.

What it seems like is that the writers of the film loved the idea, started off extremely strong, and then began to realize that how hard it is to sustain a simplistic idea over the course of a full length motion picture (and it is because of this that Hancock is relatively short).

The lack of a central villain also hurts the movie a lot. :P

This is an action movie, so it should come as no surprise to see well done and original action in the movie. However, I felt the effects could have used a few more weeks of polishing in the editing room.

John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world.

For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily.

He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way of getting the job done.

You’ll love it!! ;) magic
