Hancock

This was one of the most anticipated movie for this year , but sad to say that this is just a passable flick. Hancock would have been so better if the script would have been a bit stronger. But Hancock is really watchable for the sole reason Will Smith, he proves once again why he is rated as one of the bankable star in the Hollywood.

Movie is about a super hero named Hancock(Will Smith), who most of the time stays in a hangover state because of his drinking appetite. Though he comes out and saves the city from bad hooligans, he even creates a lot of economic loss. This nature of Hancock troubles all the city people and higher authorities.

(Jason Bateman)Ray Embrey gets a new life because of Hancock and from there the story moves ahead ; hancock becoming a close associate of Ray. Ray makes sure that Hancock brings in a change in his lifestyle by keeping in prison of habitation. Meanwhile Mary Embrey(Charlize Theron) plays wife of Ray and surprisingly has a long connection with Hancock. There is a surprise element with respect to the Mary. The scenes where you see Hancock and Mary makes a pleasent watch.

The dialogues are well written with a hint of or should I say only slang to attract the masses . The frames which consist of " Call me once again asshole" is really well architectured for the role of Hancock. Peter Berg does a failry good job, but his work should have been really easy since he had two great stars Will and Charlize. The drawback in the movie was the manner in which it becomes really perposterous the last half an hour or so ; the whole hospital episode.

Overall Will Smith pulls it of , had there not been Will , Hancock would have been a big dud. All the actors potray their characters well. Go on an afternoon this movie when you are in a good mood with a bunch of friends , you will love it . But Hnacock would have been so so so better if few chances were to be made.

My rating : ***
