Hancock

New movie review from The Movie Snob

Hancock (B). This is a different sort of superhero movie. Hancock (Will Smith, Men in Black II) is pretty much the equivalent of Superman, except he's a boozy bum whose heroics tend to cause catastrophic levels of collateral damage while he's catching the bad guys or saving the imperiled good citizen. (And there are apparently enough bad guys in L.A. to make Gotham City look like Mayberry.) After he gives a helping hand to p.r. man Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), Ray wants to repay the favor by giving Hancock some free public-relations advice. The movie takes some unpredictable zigs and zags after that, which puts it a notch above your average summer popcorn movie, but I'm not sure that all the zags make sense, so that takes it back down a notch. "B" seems like a fair grade.
