Hancock (DVD Review)

What I knew going in:
Will Smith in a Superhero Action Comedy.

Hype:
Meh+. I saw this a couple of weeks after it came out. I was disappointed but was hoping that additional story and scenes might make for a better movie on DVD, as with Babylon AD.

Opening Thoughts:
Yep still not funny. Something about an irresponsible superhero just rubs me the wrong way. The guy behaves more like a villian. Its still a redemption plot. BooHoo I'm a Black Superman.

Bottom Line:
This film has all the hallmarks of a big blockbuster. Awesome special effects. Big Stars. Lots of Hype. Problem is, for a superhero film, the thing just has no heart. The comedy falls flat, Hancock's opening antics have no real consequences, and there's no resolution at the end of the film and we are left with our imaginations as to what will happen with the major characters. And "Uncut"? Two or three extra sex joke scenes do not constitute for a better movie. These scenes SHOULD have been cut from the film. It didn't annoy me as much this time around, and that's the best I thing I can type about it. Hollywood has become so inbred with its sub-culture of shoddy writing that I'm surprised the script come with buckteeth.
