Great beginning, boring ending

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2008)

The beginning was great - funny, and unexpected. The whole idea for an alcoholic,destructive, I care 'bout nothing hero is original and interesting. I got bored of the good hero that always does the right thing . So the part till the love story was great. And then suddenly everything went back to the usual. The love story was too serious and it was not fun at all. Real, deep feelings ... again ... c'mon give me a break. It's a comedy after all, why there was any need of moral telling us we all have a soul mate. That was lame and used in thousands other movies. Also Hancock was changed to the "I do only good things" hero - he lost his cool and charm, and become a boring flying around guy. The director accented on the special effects, saying - I am out of ideas, so we are getting back to the tested and overused scenarios and shiny effects. My rate is is 10 for the first half and a plane 0 for the second. The overall - 5.
