Mixed hit and miss....

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2009)

Hancock is one of those movies that is just all over the place. At times it's trying to be a slapstick comedy or satirical, while others it gets dramatic. It has a pretty bad identity crisis. Once you let go of notions that the movie-makers and production really don't have a clue either, you realize that Handcock including all cast involved do an OK job keeping it interesting - however, the movie seems to be striving for satisfactory here, not excellence. The super-hero story is underdeveloped and therefore somewhat ho-hum. It has several entertaining scenes and dialog. Will Smith doesn't really salvage the movie, but helps to make it somewhat bearable and entertaining here and there. Wasn't surprising he produced it. Still scores a little higher than I am Legend - Mixed.
