It's not bad but not good

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2008)

John Hancock, the amnesiac super hero people love to hate, good concept, but it was a bit on the "so what" side. The first half hour or so, I found myself to be quite entertained...but come 45 minute mark my mind slowly melted into a fine goop used for cleaning floors with.
It was a funny film I'll give you that, which meant it completed what it was set out to do. Will Smith and Jason Bateman gave good performances... but it was Charlize Theron that made my inside curl, her "Hancock shouldn't be here" looks were cringe-worthy... not to mention the very elaborate background story between Hancock and her character.
One other thing I'd like to point out, is that just after saving one person, everyone who hated him before suddenly forgot all his previous mishaps and a certain $9 million bill of destruction. Either way, it is an enjoyable film, just don't expect to laugh out loud and split your sides....It isn't your average Will Smith film.
