A good look at history

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2004)

But unfortunately, the story gets muddled down by trying to stay too close to history.
Ignoring the juvenile critique that was given by the first reviewer, I'd say this is a decent, if not good movie. The biggest problem that was apparent is during the second act, there is a quite a lull in the plot.
The acting was good, great at times. The story itself is fantastic, but as I said before, it appears that Hancock attempted to not dramatize certain events, and had alot of empty space to fill. There were definite moments that did salvage the situation somewhat, and the fight scenes were fairly spectacular.
I'd say it's worth a matinee, or a rental. 31/2 out of 5.
