I enjoyed this movie very much because of its differences.

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2008)

I don't believe any spoilers are listed here. All references to the movie are kept especially generic. Read at your own risk anyway just in case you are uber sensitive. I don't tell you what happened or talk about any specifics.
After seeing the previews and thinking to myself that this is a movie worth checking out "sometime" I then saw Will Smith being interviewed on a talk show. His enthusiasm in portraying an atypical super hero combined with how much he loved shooting a flight scene with old-school stunt work plus some special effects instead that would normally be done all CGI got my interest in this movie piqued.
I enjoy many types of superhero movies and usually find ways to enjoy most of them. Hancock was no exception, and in this case I found that it really stood apart from other super hero movies in a new and refreshing way. Personally I thought it was new, intricate, funny, and full of "eye candy" (scenes that are especially fun to watch).
Will Smith brought some style and flair to the role and gave us a glimpse of a person going through some hard times and going through some changes. I think there was one part of the movie that "dragged" a little for me, but sure enough right around the corner was some more intrigue, action, and other eye candy to watch.
I probably laughed the most at a scene that reminded me of the Anal Dwelling Butt Monkey of "Bruce Almighty".
