You are usually bang on, and I end up agreeing with you, but I liked the “twist”. It wasn’t expected, and was different…that is, wasn’t your typical “mutated-from-toxic-waste/insect-bite” or “came-from-another-planet” origin.

And Charlize was freaking hot in that tight black outfit.

I don’t know…I guess I was just wanting to be entertained and could suspend logic.

I started to watch the movie but then had to go… (I was watching on my computer, like all movies) it seemed really good so far.

I mean, it was a fresh look on superheroes, a more “superheroes are like the rest of us, but, like, they have superpowers…”

but instead of making it a “person movie”, showing us how will smith struggles with his problems while trying to make a difference, they hack up a unrelated ending, glue it up with tape wrap and CG and try to serve it…

@Zack - LOL! Well said. The third act of Hancock is like a sequel to the first 2.

On the other side. I agree with this post Luke. I was really excited for this movie as well, then the whole “crap” with Charlize happened and I was like, UGH, really?! It almost felt like this could have been the plot if there was a sequel to this movie.

Not to mention that some prominent republican politicians came out of the movie business (Ronald Regan and “The Governator” just to name two). So I believe that neither political philosophy holds sway over the movie industry. It is ruled by the laws of supply and demand which means catering to the lowest common denominator most of the time.

I’m beginning to think that Hollywood always sucked, and that the occasional good movies are simply flukes - low budget productions that fell through the cracks because one decided to “improve” on them.
