Good trailer, poor film

Rating: 6/10 (17 September 2008)

I'm going to keep this review to the point. Hancock looked great in the trailer that I watched but the film itself has little to make you like it. For starters there are no proper action scenes. This is a list of the so called action scenes and rate them...
Hancock stops a police chase by lifting the car up. 4/5
Hancock getshit by a train. 2/5
Hancock stops a bankrobbery by flying into the windows and taking away the robbers. 1/5
Hancock fights his friends super wife in a tornado. 3/5
Hancock and his friend kill off criminals in a hospital. 2/5
There is very little tension in any of them and the lack of a strong, central villain doesn't help things. The CGI is passable but to be honest your much better off watching The Dark Knight or Iron Man which know how to entertain and are both really good films. This however feels like a half hearted attempt at a super hero film sadly.
