Hancock

[markw]

Granted, it wasn't Batman Begins but, considering that it's a summer popcorn movie, it does quite well. The plot seems to focus less on the superhero aspect as it does on his troubled past, which made him what he is (or isn't) today.

As for predictible, well I have to disagree. When the linkup between Bateman's wife and Smith was finally revealed I was basically floored. You have to say, it was a unique twist. And, I liked the nod to "Highlander" as well.

The villians were basically for comic relief, but that wasn't the focus of the movie. Hancock exorcising his demons and finding his true self/purpose was, and they were incidental.

I thought it was terrific: not at all predictable, and funny as hell besides. Will Smith carried the whole thing off mightily, and almost convinced me he actually could do these things!

There's also something called "spoiler alert" which several posters here should have used. No point giving away one of the film's best moments to those interested in seeing it.

I was just thinking that. I read too much of the thread and should have turned my eyes away. No harm done though. My wife and I are suppose to see it this weekend and I'm sure I'll still have a good time.

I did write Spoiler Alert in the title block. Was I suppose to do more than that?
Sorry. I know how you feel. Our friend told us before we saw "Perfect Storm" That she would have liked it better if she hadn't known everyone was going to die.

Oh, I skipped right past that. No, it was still my fault. I should have stopped reading but couldn't help it


I'd like to see one of these next time though
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

Just kidding

So you did. I didn't see it, but can't criticize you for not doing something that you did. Have to admit though, that "spoiler alert" in huge, yellow letters might have captured my attention better...

Agreed and loaded in my memory banks.
