Ben and I finally got around to being in the same place long enough to watch this last night.  I was a little skeptical at first- the first five minutes consist of a little boy calling the Will Smith character(Hancock) an a**hole, and then a one night stand with a chick Hancock picks up in a bar.  Not really a good start to movies I like to watch, so thank goodness it got better after that.  Ben had heard more about the movie then I had, so I spent some of the movie confused.  Here’s the basic premise for those that think they may want to see it.  A man(Hancock) with superhero powers, has psychological issues with his abandonment and solidarity(he believes he’s the only one like this in the world).  He meets a PR man, on a mission to save the world,  who is married to the super hot Charlize Theron- and there’s some weird chemistry going on there with Hancock.   The PR man convinces Hancock to change his life around, and what results from that is what really makes the movie.  That’s all I’m going to say so I won’t spoil it for you.

It feels weird that I’m reviewing it, since it was a total Alisa movie for me(see her previous movie posts if you don’t believe me).  Superheros helping to save us from ourselves.  I can get down with that though, and because it was a Will Smith flick there were still the occasional funny bits mixed in with all the gunfights.  I was cracking up when Hancock was confronted by all the men he put in prison- while he spends some time in there himself.  Funny Stuff.  I wouldn’t recommend buying this one, but it’s a definite rental to enjoy yourself- while scoring some hubby points.
