Movie Review: Hancock

I was treated to lunch at a nice cafe and this movie for my birthday by a friend. Another friend was supposed to come but she was too hung over from the night before. ;)

I really like Will Smith as an actor, I liked him in Independance Day (my kind of humour) and also in I Am Legend (a great movie!!)

It was humorous and quite enjoyable, though predictable.

A good movie for the teenage boys.

Plot: There are heroes…there are superheroes…and then there’s Hancock. With great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, except Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic and misunderstood, Hancock’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough – as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn’t the kind of man who cares what other people think – until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock’s greatest challenge yet – and a task that may prove impossible as Ray’s wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he’s a lost cause.
