Now, Hancock is fun!!

Yes, What do we really expect out of a Will Smith starrer? Fun; loads and loads of it!! Thats exactly what Hancock is. Directed by Peter Berg who previously did an impressive 'The Kingdom' with Jamie Foxx, Hancock is a take on superhero movies (even this rather annoying name :) ) with Will Smith playing the 'In & As' title role. The movie also stars the beautiful-but-now-looking-old-and-still-hot Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman (another member of the personal favorite character actors list, most noted for his role in last years super hit 'Juno').

Hancock is neither a spoof nor is it a usual superhero movie. It has quite an interesting plot which is surprisingly not given away by its trailer. My point is, if you see the trailer of the recent Iron Man or The Incredible Hulk, you get to make out the movie plot but the Hancock trailer is not at all a giveaway. If you are willing to rest your brain for a while, you might spend 90+ minutes of fun. This is a movie yet again not to be taken seriously. It has a rather filmy ending but then its just a film. The CGI is pretty decent and some of the superhero stunts are loudly laughable. Will Smith fits the role perfectly.

Heard that the script of this movie was floating around in Hollywood for quite a long time. Hmmm... Anyways the plot has a slight resemblance to another movie which i saw recently. The name would be a spoiler. Hence to be revealed later :)
