Excellent Movie! Not your run-of-the-mill superhero!

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2008)

This movie was VERY well done, and is a unique entry for this summer of classic and well-known superhero franchises."Hancock" offers a new and fresh entry in the "anti-hero" tradition.
Hancock is complex, and has some surprising layers to the character, as well as to the story. And for those who are paying attention, it has some interesting history lessons as well.
I had been a little skeptical about "Hancock", from looking at the odd trailers for it. But because of the nature of it, they really couldn't give a whole lot away. After having seen it, I find it very odd that the critics have been cheering about this film. "Hancock" delivers more than the standard formula of, "Here's the good guy. Here's the bad guy. Watch 'em fight!" "Hancock" is compelling, exciting, and FUN.
