Unorthodox superhero becomes somewhat orthodox and boring

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2011)

What starts off as a lot of fun, ends with being corny. Hancock is more of your unorthodox superhero. With mega strength at his disposal, he can do pretty much what he wants. Will Smith once again is great. He done many summer blockbusters before and his performance and the overall film keeps up the tradition of raking in a lot of cash. The film itself is entertaining. Towards the end , it hard not to become disinterested.
With all the Marvel and graphic novels adaptations being shot for the big screen, it was a breath air to be treated to a light hearted superhero flick. The first half contains laughs and you're never quite sure what Hancock's is going to do next to upset the community.
But, when we reach the scene when we discover there more than one person who are gifted with unbelievable strength, it becomes tiresome. The whole love story and the tale of Hancock's past seems lazy and tricks you to believing you've somehow inserted a second disk.
If i ever watch Hancock again, i will do so but only the first half. I saw myself avoiding the screen in an attempt to block out the awful love story. Shame, if only they kept the drunken Hancock all the way through the film, more people would of appreciated it uniqueness and no doubt have a higher rating
