A sad story about superheroes

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2008)

Many people have said it's not a good movie. I agree. It's not. Not even close. However, they've taken it as a comedy. I'm afraid I have to reserve my opinion on that.
It was funny at the beginning but turned out to be a sad love story when Mary revealed the truth. Superheroes are created in pairs but doomed to be separated since they would lose their power if they got too close to each other. History has proved that all of the superheroes were killed except them two.
Mary said "we're brother and sister". She said "technically he's my husband". She didn't lie. They are immortal. Through all the centuries, the connections between them are more than those of siblings and couples. They are the only two of their kind in this world but they have to run away from each other to guarantee the safety of their lives. Is there anything else more pathetic? It's such a just-so-so movie that I hardly laughed or be impressed throughout the whole 97 minutes. But I felt a little bit touched about two scenes. One is when Ray said to Hancock "people don't like you", his son Aaron shouted "I do". The other is bearing all the sores and wounds physically and mentally, Hancock hobbled his way to far far away to save Mary.
Heroes are doomed to be alone but they'll never be lonely. They have someone very special to care about and be cared back. Hancock is not able to be with Ray, Mary and Aaron but he watches them and guard them from far far away. He tells his love by that red heart on the moon.
