A Fun and Humorous Movie that is Jam Packed with Flaws,

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2015)

Hancock is a decent movie with a well written storyline and an impressive cast. It's certainly a fun action movie that has a lot of very funny parts, as well as a terrific performance from Will Smith, who takes on a role nothing like what he has done previously. It's an enjoyable movie, but it has many, many flaws, the biggest one is that the main character is not very likable for the majority of the movie, I know it's on purpose for the most part, but seeing him throw a kid up in to the sky and flinging a whale in to a boat was way too much and it wasn't necessary if you want us to support this character. Also the movies main villains don't show up until about fifty minutes in and don't start doing anything until about the last twenty, which is a significant problem, especially for a superhero movie, where a villain is one of the most important parts. There are several other problems, the cheesy effects, the anti-climactic ending, the lame twist, the lack of comedy from Jason Bateman's character, this movie easily could have been an 8, but because of all these major mistakes, I had to go down to 6. It's nowhere near perfect, but Hancock is still quite enjoyable and it might make for a good watch if you ever see it on television and have some time to kill.
After a down on his luck superhero named Hancock saves a man's life, this man feels he owes it to him to make Hancock in to the real superhero he should be.
