Movie Review: Hancock

Hancock - starring Will Smith

Everyone loves a superhero. But when that superhero causes more damage than the bad guys, people can get pretty annoyed.

Hancock leaves destruction everywhere he goes. Sure, he catches the bad guys, but the citizens of Los Angeles have had enough! They begin to boo his efforts and tell him to go away. Then, one day, he saves the life of PR Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) who decides to help Hancock turn his tarnished image around.

I found it a bit refreshing to see a superhero without a silly costume, whose identity everyone knew and most of all, who was not glorified. I enjoyed the special effects and the humorous moments. And of course, you can't go wrong with Will Smith. Certainly worth watching.
