Doesn't live up to its hype.

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2008)

Hancock is a story of a superhero named John Hancock who has a hard time coping with his life and misuses his calling, while he happens to be a superhero who flies and has super-strength, we see him annihilating half LA whenever he does something heroic. Although the idea seemed interesting, we see the writers trapped in their own simplistic story with no where to go. The first half of the film is no where near perfect but is fairly interesting with amazing special effects and funny one-liners. But as the so called plot twist happens, the story diverts into this crazy pile of confusion. In addition to that I had to suffer Peter Berg's wacky way of directing. I am talking about the close-up shots. One or two is okay. But when it is in every other scene and it is so that I can count how many zits are on the characters faces, that becomes unbearable and annoying. I would be telling a lie if I said that Hancock is a wonderful film, it is fairly interesting, though I was expecting better from Will Smith.
6.4/10
