Good, not great

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2008)

Will Smith is an amazing actor, he has such charm and charisma on screen that its got to the point where he sells the film rather than the film itself being the attraction.
Hancock as a summer blockbuster is a lot of fun. The acting on all parts is strong and the humour is well delivered. Others think that it starts well but ends weak, in my opinion it starts quite weak, but once you understand the characters better and Charlize Theron is introduced to the story it really gets going.
The main reason why it wasn't great is because it should have been better, the script could have been stronger and the action is a bit too tongue in cheek.
Hancock is a good film that keeps you entertained, however it has a few flaws that make it forgettable and puts it in the "to rent" pile. I want to see Will Smith get another Oscar nomination but he won't get far with films like this and "I Am Legend".
