Hancock .. more like Handjob

Rating: 3/10 (31 August 2008)

For what was supposed to be a mega blockbuster hit turned out to be a poorly written script with an A-list cast frivolously attempting to bolster the film. Another example that you can put the biggest names on the screen but with no script it fails.
I will say that Will Smith dishes out a brilliant performance as the neglected superhero who distastefully annoys the American public with his reckless acts of drunken destruction. He does a great job of making you care for his character but the plot is so aimless there is almost no suspense involved therefore rendering all of the characters useless. It's as if the writers had to cough up an idiotic draft for the studio and the producers we're just as moronic to accept it. Honestly who would've approved of that mindless twist that they throw at the audience as if we're supposed to go along with it? At this point I was about to yack on my friend sitting next to me.
This movie is a prime exemplification of an egotistical Hollywood holstering too much money and power with little talent to deliver the goods. I walked into Hancock expecting an epic adventure that would satiate my entertainment needs, but I ended up strolling home wishing I had given myself a Handjob instead.
If you enjoy flying humans bashing through skyscrapers with unlimited force then this might be for you. However if you teeth for plot and cling to suspense, then you may consider passing on this one.
