Hancock

Movie Review: Hancock (** out of 4 stars)

Year of Release: 2008
Country of Origin: USA
Director: Peter Berg
Cast: Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, Jae Head

Plot outline: A disaffected superhero enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who's trying to repair his image (IMDb).

The story (** The idea behind the movie--an atypical superhero and a different approach to the genre--is pretty interesting and it begins promisingly.)
How the story unfolds (** But the combination of drama, action, and comedy does not work from beginning to end and the story leads nowhere; the first half is better than the second half.)
The characters (**)
The acting (** Will Smith is a good choice for the role even though there is nothing remarkable about his, or anyone else's, performance.)

Overall rating ** out of 4 stars
