Desperate

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2008)

Hancock was a most frustrating experience. With cinema ticket prices rising, the quality of American summer blockbusters is falling. The makers of this film failed so badly to appeal to an audience of fans of the 'lethal weapon' movies with it's outdated attempts at homophobic 'humour', and down and out heroes that it shows how desperate Hollywood is for original stories. It thinks it is progressive by presenting a story of fateful inter-racial partners with no qualms and on the flip-side mocking homosexual people. WRONG! The movie-going public has progressed further than this. I will never watch a movie directed by Peter Berg again, nor a movie starring Will Smith again, for their egos have been far too well fed.
