REVIEW: Hancock
(Movie poster image from Wikipedia)
Note: The following review was submitted by Marc Gibson.
In my opinion Will Smith's extended record of hits and misses continues with his latest flick Hancock. With a wash of superhero/comic themed movies coming out in recent years [and Hancock being one of four scheduled for release this summer alone] many of you might be thinking to take a pass on Hancock. My advice; don't.
I found Hancock made up for Smith last film, the huge miss 'I am Legend' with this tale about an apathetic 'last of his kind' uberman struggling to find his place and to accept his purpose among humanity.
Hancock has more substance than would be normally expected for a summer blockbuster without taking itself too seriously. Although Hancock doesn't come anywhere close to the new standard set by box office monster 'Iron Man' for comic book/superhero themed flicks, I think that Hancock easily outdid the other Marvel release 'Incredible Hulk'.
Hancock has just about everything that one could want in an enjoyable movie, and the ladies can look forward to some shots of a half naked Smith [sorry guys Charlize Theron doesn't go anywhere near T&A].
