::REVIEW::

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Hancock (Will Smith). 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 (Jason Bateman), 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 (Charlize Theron), insists that he’s a lost cause. --© Sony Pictures

CGI: This movie features great special effects from the beginning to end all battles look fantastic and even Superman quakes in fear of the high quality graphics.

Music: The worst aspect of the movie no question. Even when the movie begins we're greeted with a chase sequences backed by a track that sounds like it came straight from the Dukes of Hazard. At one point they even play the Sanford&Son theme. I'm sorry but this is just unacceptable. Whoever did the music for this movie should be hung.

Writing: What can I say when it comes to the writng for this movie I must say, not too bad. It is a very funny movie with rarely seen dialouge. This movie was well thought up and comes with a special surprising twist in the middle. The only problem I have with this movie is the mystery to it where we know so little about Hancock. However this isn't a Cloverfield mysterious it's more like a the writers were really lazy and did'nt think up an explanation of his powers. A little more of a backstory would have been nice but unfortunately there isn't.

Acting: Do I even need to tell you how good the acting was? Will Smith nailed perfectly the role of a drunk, hack, loser guy. Wich isn't that hard for Will Smith ;). Though at times he stretches it by staring at people for a long time.Either way he's come a far way from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.Charlize Thompson also does a great job of playing the suspicious wife. Same can be said for Jason Bateman(not playing the wife of course). He is a great actor who has shown his talent and ability. The only one who didn't do a good job was the villian himself, Eddie Marson. Eddie plays a bank robber in this movie who happens to be the main villian here. However he also fails to make his character seem to be any more than a petty crook. Aside from a few lines at the end of the movie he didn't sell the act.

Pros: Stunning CGI effects, Hilarious and well written,

Cons: Horrible music choice, Not enought backstory, Horrible performance from Eddie Marson.
