Forget about the super hero's of the past, Hancock Rocks!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2008)

After reading a slew of not so great reviews about Hancock, my wife and I decided to ignore the critics and give Will Smith and Hancock a viewing. All I have to say is that this movie was great. I am still trying to figure out just what movie the critics were reviewing because trust me Hancock was all that and a bag of chips. In some ways Hancock was like a super hero movie for mature movie goers as the story line kept movie watchers glued to their seats. The movie twist that so many critics claimed were out of no where were great in my opinion and actually made the movie that much better. If you want to see a solid movie which happens to have a super hero as its main character, Hancock is that movie. Will Smith once again was at the top of his game. And the supporting cast of Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman help make what I would call one of the best mature super hero movies I have ever seen.
