Hancock....more like Foovagina.

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2008)

When July 4th comes rolling around you know what that means: Will Smith time!
From Independence Day to Men in Black 2 (saw those on or around the 4th), if you're ever in the need for a big blockbuster flick, have no fear because Will Smith is here. Sure this is a super-hero based flick, but that doesn't mean it's going to be super.
Story revolves around Hancock becoming a better person and an even better super-hero. Gee, I wonder if he does become better? Duuuuhhh! Anywho, throw in another side-plot with another super-hero and you basically have the flick.
My biggest gripe with this flick is it strays away from the emotionally weak and crude Hancock and introduces this other super-hero relationship. Can't their be any super-hero flicks that don't involve some type of lovey-dovey type dealy?
I was diggin the beginning, where he was a drunk fumbling hero and had not a care in the world. It seriously made for some unique and fun entertainment. After the new introduction, it became this melodramatic, poorly written flick.
Overall though, it wasn't a bad flick because the beginning was good, but for the last 30+ minutes, it just became a little "been there done that" feeling. This movie would have been great if he stayed a drunk the entire time. But oh well. Not bad for a summer movie, but a good entry into a bin of average super-hero flicks. Right ahead of Constantine and behind Howard the Duck.
Oh, it may have the record for the most use of the word "a$$hole" in a PG-13 flick. That's a good thing.
