Almost had it

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2009)

Hancock is an entertaining flick. It starts out great, its got a fantastic and unique idea for a superhero. I had a lot of fun watching Hancock's antics, emotions, and general attitude toward being a superhero. Some of the other characters were great as well, particularly the supporting character of Ray, the two of them made a great match. I was very happy to be watching this film for a good while but it fell apart when it came to establishing an effective ending. this is just my opinion of course, I enjoyed the movie but I felt a lot of it was ruined by the complications and twists that did not seem to connect very well with the rest of the story and its theme of self renewal and achievement. It went in all the right directions and made a great attempt at a new kind of story but it just didn't make it in the end. But hey, its entertaining, its got some great laughs and its definitely worth a try. I imagine some people might really dig the ending. I certainly don't want to spoil anything so thats all i've got to write.
