A Real Surprise

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2008)

I give this 7/10 - for me that's a great score, anything above that rarely involves superheroes. For its genre I think it deserves an 8 actually.
You're no doubt aware that this is a flying superhero movie that revolves around the main character's personality flaws. I've never read/seen the comic that this was born from but I wholeheartedly applaud the transition.
Smith is great, the script is funny, and the effects are top notch.
I for one didn't like the trailers and as a result expected the movie to suck,but in actual fact it's far more "adult" that you would expect and delivers a lot of laughs.
I highly recommend Hancock and so do (I assume) the 300 or so other people who were laughing their asses off in the theatre.
