Positive Aspects? Didn't expect that...

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2009)

John Hancock is a film which I just watched via DVD. I had not seen this in theaters because it didn't look like a movie for me. After watching the movie, I was taken by surprise a bit. I expected this awful drawn out corny plotted film. Although the plot can be considered to be a bit "corny" I think it almost helps the movie. I gave this movie a 7 out of 10. So I'm thinking that's like an average score, maybe a C in a class? It held my attention, made me laugh a few times, gave me those great 1 liners that you can't get out of your head for 2 days after. But it also had a somewhat nice ending, throughout the movie you start to predict what will happen, but the nice thing is, it almost gives you several options as to "what could happen." I think that's a huge positive aspect in this movie. So would I recommend the movie? If you're at the video store, or on your Netflix account, can't seem to figure out what you want to see next, give it a try. It's only like 90 minutes, and I don't think you'll walk away thinking it was a waste of 90 minutes.
