Hancock - Great movie and here is why…
It’s REALISTIC! As much as a fantasy movie can be, anyway.
A lot of people are citing bad directing, script, etc. Apparantly the original draft or something along those lines got leaked, but was changed to the movie that was actually released. I haven’t read it, could it have been better? Possibly, who cares? The movie I just saw was decently put together.
You connected with the characters, you felt their emotions and pain. I laughed up until the point I was suppose to, and then I felt the drama I was meant to.
Unfortunately, this movie is hurt by the same thing ALL comedies are - the best parts are shown in trailers. Hancock is sadly no different in that respect, but it is one hell of a good movie!
I highly recommend this movie, but don’t go expecting a straight comedy from start to finish. Much like Iron-Man, and many good movies of this day, they shake things up a bit and I think that is how things should be!
