Summer entertainment at it's best!

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2008)

Hancock is firstly, a brilliant and elegant movie. Full of laugh out loud comedy and perfect action. Secondly it gives a different vibe on the normal superhero movie, that pays off immensely well. All the actors involved in the production of Hancock give it a real dramatic and comedic endurance that lasts from beginning to end.
Hancock is a boozy and sleazy superhero that the public despise due to his foul mouth and undesirable drinking problems. Hancock though, doesn't seem to care about the publics opinion about him. After saving Ray, a public relations executive from being run over by a train. He offers to help Hancock and try and fix his public image as a dept for saving his life.
The story maybe simple in plot, but delivers bold and hard hitting knocks of comedy and action all the way. The comedy doesn't slip up or run down hill, even in the third act.
Hancock really is pure summer entertainment.
