Hancock - Another Superhero?

| Sunday, May 4, 2008

Assalamualaikum






There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility - everyone knows that - everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.

The public has finally had enough - as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think - until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet - and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause.

That's a little description of the upcoming movie featuring Will Smith. Let's face the facts that not all superhero are well-liked by public and Hancock seems to be one of them. Maybe a little twist to all the too-good-to-be-true superheros that has been hitting the cinema lately. And that maybe...just maybe if there is really any superhero in this world, Hancock is the perfect example of what might really happen....a disaster. Hiks.
