Hancock

I just got back from watching Hancock, the new Will Smith movie. It's a pretty good flick, in the typical summer blockbuster realm of things. Think of it over all as Superman with a really "who gives a crap" attitude. The basic flow of the movie is typical of a lot of super-hero type movies... The hero is unstoppable, runs into some conflict and quickly overcomes it, then a bad guys pops up, catches the hero off guard, he gets injured but overcomes it and we all live happily ever after. Don't watch it if you like plot twists or getting surprised. There's really only one twist in the movie and I wasn't even totally surprised by it.  

As far as my thoughts, this is actually one of Will's funnier roles. He does more of the 'action comedy' in ID4, and more of the witty smart-alec type in MiB. In this role, it's just the eff-you type of comments through the first half of the flick.

Overall, it is what it is, and it is a fun, good big budget summer blockbuster that Will Smith is famous for, a la 'Independence Day' or 'Men in Black.' It probably won't land on any of my "favorite movie" lists, but it's definitely a good movie. If you go to it expecting to be entertained by a lot of action, fast cameras and CG, you'll enjoy it.
