Hancock is a super hero movie with a twist. The
script is loosely based on the original script, called Tonight he comes;
written by Vy Vincent Ngo.

The main character is
played by Will Smith and is a jaded super hero who seems to have
lost his faith in humanity. He never has anything encouraging
to say and just is as the people in the film call him; an arse hole.
He doesn't seem to have any respect for anyone's
opinion and gets upset particularly when someone calls him an arse
hole. He does his job of saving people and catching criminals,
but causes so much damage when he does intervene. |

He trashes everything that
he comes into contact with. He doesn't have a good reputation,
apart from being more of a problem. One day he
save this guy who is some kind of marketing person and the guy
offers to change his image. He tells Hancock the people will
love him once he done.
He would be a beacon of light in a sea of
darkness or something like that. |

He gets to wear this
typical super hero outfit and I was expecting to see a cape for some
reason. The trouble with this movie is that it
can't decide whether it wants to be a dark movie with an evil super
hero or a good super hero and you end up with some regular guy that
no one likes.
Will Smith does the best he can with the
rather poor script and nothing spectacular ever happens in the film.
You find out that he's really old but doesn't age and the only real
fight that occurs in the film is with this women. I won't
spoil the reason why. It was a little disappointing to me.
It reminded me of some of the great ideas that
I have had in the past, but was too lazy to sit down and write a
proper script. What you had was left was nothing more
than a handful of notes. |

That's how this film came across to me. The
idea has so much more potential. In the original story, John
Hancock is a lot worse than he is in this movie. You either loved
or hated him in the original script. In the movie, to avoid
spoiling Will Smith's clean image, he's turn into the most
inconsequential super hero ever to have graced the cinema. If this
was a book report, I would write. Good first attempt but must work
harder. |
