It was great.. and then it wasn't

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2014)

The movie was great and entertaining in the beginning because it mixed super powers with the real world. It showed what someone with super powers might actually be like in real life. The "hero" had good in intentions but he was clumsy, reckless, an asshole. There were no super villains or mad scientists bent on world domination, just bad guys with guns which was refreshing to see. In real life, there is no Superman, someone who's 100% good. People aren't perfect and having superpowers doesn't change that. That was the good part. The movie took a turn for the worse when they introduced the superwoman. The writers felt that they had to give Hancock a weakness which was a mistake. The movie went downhill from there with its cheesiness and crappy plot. The only good part was the beginning when Hancock was trying to win the city over. If they had just stuck with that for the entire movie, it would've been fantastic. It would have shown a journey, from loser to hero; something everyone loves to see. This movie had potential but the writers screwed it.
