Hackcock Great concept but Dead on execution

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2008)

First seeing the trailer months ago I was was amazed that it was a great looking trailer with awesome effects and a great concept of a super-Anti hero, who feels his super-Ness is a burden.
Showing quick montages of him "drinking and Flying, throwing a beached whale, throwing a kid up into the air, and stopping a train", this movie was showing clips that Superman should of done in 'Superman Returns". So I had to see this movie and the hype was clenching @ my feet.
The movie starts off great with all the things I had listed above were just keeping my eyes glued to the screen. But half way through the film it took a turn with a very campy back ground story, that went on way to long. It literally made me think "wow they're going this route"?? It seemed as if they had a beginning and a middle of a movie and just through in a back story that seemed to be whats the word? oh yes...LAZY, and some how decided thats how the rest of the movie should go. My thoughts were if your gonna use that, save that for a sequel not a 3rd act of a film. The 1st act or I should say the first film should of just been "Hancock"being a homeless, alcoholic, Anti-Superhero struggling to be good. Thats a movie there I gave this movie a 5(half of 10, 10 being the best) because it starts off great! but the rest just flat out sucks. Great effects @ first then it turns into a C.G.I. nightmare and made me feel like I was suffering through" My super ex girl friend" once again.
