Film Review: Hancock
Sep. 6th, 2008 05:29 pmI saw this film when it came out and just watched it again. It's as good as I remember. I made the mistake of going to Rotten Tomatoes and some other websites to see what the general consensus was and was horrified to discover it got panned.
I...don't think they were watching the same film as me.
( My rather incoherent review of Hancock: cut for length and SPOILERZZZ. )
In sum, this film is awesome. Really, really awesome if you're willing to go with it. And I really don't understand why everyone seems to put the mediocre comedy the trailer advertised ahead of this quiet, concentrated character piece. I don't think there's really an overarching message to it. It's just a story that's full of acceptance, optimism and love.
