HANCOCK

"Hell no". Will Smith does not say this for the second straight film and I'm getting tired of it. "Hancock" is a little different take on the superhero genre and it starts off quite well. The trailers really don't give away any of what this movie is really about either. You know he's a superman, but what you don't know is what's the real story here? They have to try and get his whole backstory into 90 minutes what took other superhero's years to do. That's where this movie loses a little steam. It's a good concept, but when the past starts to come out and turns into more of a drama is the weak part of this film. It's also the part that makes this different from what you've seen a million times with all the other franchises out there. I would have liked to see them set up his character, rather than just try and explain who he is through conversations with others. That's where it's a little messy, but still entertains and has some fun. Not one of Will Smith's best efforts, but not terrible. There are still some laughs, even if he doesn't say "Hell no". I can't say that you need to see this, but I also can't say not too either.
