Hancock Review (SPOILERS)


The audio version will be up shortly.


This movie to me, defined the difference in most Super Hero movies. most super hero movie are uplifting, and momentous. Hancock was neither. It was dark and to be honest very human.


THE GOOD

This movie is on my top 5 favorite super hero movie of all time. Why, well the visuals for one thing, though they were noticeable in some parts of the movie (like the jail scene when Hancock jumps over the fence then back again). The story was semi-original and funny. In the story it showed that no all heroes are born or brought up with the mentality of being a great Super Hero. Plus they explain the mythology of their race good enough that they really don't have to show a flashback (Damn you Family guy and your stupid flashback jokes in every single episode!!!)


THE BAD

The storyline dragged in so many places, it felt like you could easily go and take a piss, or go to get a refill and when you'd come back you wouldn't have missed anything (I know cause about halfway through I had to take a leak.) OH! And the cinematography in this film was horrendous. Ok, I'm not to big on the whole every shot his to be on a dolly, but when every single shot in the movie is shaking (so bad that I cant even se what going on in the scene) is way to much.
All-in-all its a great film just don't mind the shaking and you'll do alright.
