Another Will Smith movie.

Another one about him being the odd one out.

Another one about him saving the world.

Is it all the same? Boring? Lame?

…

Not this one.

Hancock is one of the best films i’ve seen the whole year.

Ok, maybe it’s not a WOW movie with terrific effects and all, but I loved the storyline, I loved the main characters and it was just a nice film which in the end made me smile.

The movie started off being a pretty normal super hero film, Hancock jumping into the scenes and saves the day. Pretty simple and same old same old.

And then there’s the introduction of the other main charaters. You will obviously notice the relationship between Hancock and the main girl.

When I saw that, i thought to myself:” oh come on, do they have to make it that obvious, 20min into the film, and we already know what was going on”

But after the movie’s finished, i realised why they did that, because behind all of the obvious hint, are things I’ve never thought of. I was impressed at the way they wrote it. Props on that.

The photography through out the film was not fancy, but it was simple and to the point. All the dolly, long, closeup shots completes the movie and convey the ideas they need.

he’s super tight super hero suit

The ending was great. Although it was another happy ending, but it was typical.

After 90 mins of seeing the super hero on the screen helping everyone, you kind of don’t want it all to end in tears.

The most well shot scenes were the last 10min or so. And i reckon it was also the best part of the movie, ties everything back together. Also a struggle between Personal Affairs with World’s Future.

Some people thought it was too short. But i reckon it was just right.

To watch this movie, I think you have to go in thinking it more as a drama instead of a super hero flick, as honestly, there were about one real super hero scene though out the whole movie.

But like i said, the movie made me smile, and that’s a god thing after a movie.

Overall, I give it a 4 out 5.

Now go and watch it~!

Will Smith FtW.
