Surprise! Hancock is actually good.

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2008)

Based on all the negative reviews coming out on Hancock. I thought going in this movie would be pretty bad. Batman and Robin bad. Catwoman bad. Wild Wild West bad. Speed Racer bad. But lo and behold it delivers the goods. I agree with the consensus that the first half is funny and has all the jokes and the second half gets all serious and dark. But I thought that it worked. Will, Jason, and Charlize were all great. The effects were good, not great. I just imagined that this would be a total train wreck of a movie and it's nowhere close to that. It's entertaining and I actually plan to see it again. That's why I say a person is their own best critic. Don't listen to the media. As far as ranking Hancock with the other pics of the summer that I've seen I would say Iron Man, Indy, Hancock, Prince Caspian, Wanted, and The Incredible Hulk. Haven't seen any other ones yet. But I'm glad Hancock turned out to be good.
