Hancock (2008)

Cast: Will Smith (John Hancock), Charlize Theron (Mary Embrey), Jason Bateman (Ray Embrey)
For complete info, see IMDb's Hancock page.

I rented this movie based solely on the fact that Will Smith was in the movie. I'd see anything he does, really (and clearly many fans agree with me on this one, since his movies do very well - every genre). Hancock was better than I anticipated, since the plot didn't really look that interesting from the little I'd seen in previews.

The thing I like most about the previews for Hancock is that they do not give away the entire plot of the movie. Though this made it seem like I'd be less interested in the outcome of the movie, I appreciated the fact that I didn't know most of the details of the plot before seeing the movie.

Hancock is an action movie and a comedy, so clearly it's not an intellectual film. Though the special effects would have been better on a big screen, Hancock is more of a rental for me and I think I made the right choice. There's a bit more to it than just a super hero who has a bad reputation, so it's worth renting if you didn't think it was worth seeing in a theatre.

Grade: B
