A "SuperHero" for the older crowd.

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2008)

From all the bad reviews i read, i didn't expect a whole lot going into the cinema, but i was wrong. Hancock was a very interesting and different take on the superhero genre and i give the director and writer credit. Like the title of my comment says, it's for the older crowd. The "profanity" isn't that bad; a little bit of language and some scenes with Will Smith drinking fairly heavily (if you really want to count that). The action scenes were well done and the effects were fairly polished. The acting performances were decent and the script was pretty well written.
HOWEVER
The last half hour or so is completely different from the rest of the movie. It shifts from a light, action/comedy to an intense drama. A villain is thrown in just for good measure, but fails due to lack of time to develop. Apart from that, Hancock was an interesting film which is worth taking a look at.
