I've read reviews for this thing -- and, Hancock sounds like the letdown I was hoping that it would not be. As soon as I saw the trailer sometime ago, which looked like a movie completely deconstructing the superhero genre and spinning it on its head, I was holding out hope for this one not doing what other edgy flicks do that start off very different and very edgy and then fall into the "let's change gears and make the last 1/2 or 1/3th a Hollywood type-of-flick."
I was holding out hope that it'll be hilarious and by the time the movie's over, it'll just be Will Smith playing that drunken asshole anti-superhero like he did in the trailer, but for the entire length of the movie.
Well, damn. Reviews look like they're leaning towards the film changing gears, sometime in this flick. That is NOT what I was hoping for. So, bah.
I'm sure I'll see it, but not until DVD now.
