Hancock (2008)

Director: Peter Berg

Starring: Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Batemen

Hancock is a superhero whose ill considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.

Hollywood’s inclination to cause as much destruction as possible in their superhero films is taken to the extreme in this over the top silly film. I generally enjoy Will Smith, but he’s really bad here – maybe because he wasn’t given anything decent to do. As much as I’d like to forget this film, I won’t because I’ll always remember how bad it was.

Great visuals, though.
