John Hancock, the Newest Hero in Town

"What kind of bastard must I have been that no one ever tried to claim me."

Will Smith, that's all a movie needs, and you get a box-office hit. I watched Hancock last Sunday with my hubby and kid and it was truly enjoyable and we loved it. Comedic, effects-packed, energetic, well-choreographed stunts, romantic in some way and believable regardless of its setting. Truly entertaining! Starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman and directed by Peter Berg.

Will Smith, with his usual humor, was truly captivating, I just couldn't help smiling while watching him. The character of Mary was the one that got me "oooohhhh." It was totally unexpected and revealed the movie's huge twist and I will have to say, was perfectly written. I also love Jason Bateman's character which depicts a genuine good-hearted person.

All in all, in my truest opinion, the movie is remarkable and came in with flying colors.


Summary of the Plot:

There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock. With great power comes great responsibility -- everyone knows that -- everyone, that is, but 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, 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, insists that he's a lost cause.
