Not so much...

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2008)

I went to Hancock with an open mind. Half-way through the movie I thought to myself who the hell wrote this story. It reminded me of a Spanish soap Oprah on during the middle of the day. A great idea to have an alcoholic super hero who doesn't get the respect or support he deserves. After that the writer(s) don't really know where to go with the story. Should we throw a nemesis in there. Sure lets make it three random people who have had less then 1 minute of screen time. Should we throw in a love interest...Hell ya lets make it some unbelievable goddess who has been living in the same town as Hancock for the past couple of years. According to the story if they live close together their powers fade, but for some reason Hancock is able to be shot when he is far away from her. But to regain his powers he just has to jump out of a building and be the same distance away from her when he was shot. The story is all over the place it cant even be summarized in a logical concise manner. I will admit Hancock definitely is not your average "Super Hero" movie. The actors did a good job of what they had to work with and what they had to work with was crap. Hancock's horrible story-line which seemed to me that it was written by a child with A-D-D falls short of what it should have been. If you don't know what to think of this movie take my advice this movie sucked.
