I almost felt 90s came back.

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2008)

This film starring Will Smith is somewhat a treat for a pair, who find themselves in a movie theater not knowing what movie to see. It's a superhero movie that doesn't treat you like a brainless faceless nobody. It has a classic story with an original touch, it has its twists and all. Better yet, it's very well balanced. The modern age of commercial cinema left it's imprint on the look of "Hancock" as well, with the action shot earthquake-shaky, with abundance of CGI, with mild to no character development, although most of it, if not all, works in film's favor. This movie had more soul than most of what I'd seen this year, X-files 2 & Rambo 4 included. But it becomes way too rare that a Hollywood movie can be as entertaining as, say, it'd been ten years ago. I'd say "Hancock" is close to a Hollywood's take on Talashi Miike's "Zebra Man". Good movie.
