Hancock

I have always been fascinated by the idea of heroes being human. We were all raised on Superman and Batman - basically selfless heroes with a passion for helping and protecting. But I always felt that if I had the powers of Superman or the wealth of Batman, I'd probably be a real jerk. Well, here's Hancock. Unfortunately the movie gets lost in itself. Things aren't real clear. The story is a bit shaky. And we're left wondering about... well, stuff. The original premise of what would a alcoholic jerk with super powers be like is lost in some other... well, stuff. That's not to say I disliked Hancock. I liked it. I've already seen it twice. It's good. It's just not great. It could have been great had it focused on it's original idea; it's an uncomfortable question, but one worth asking. But instead somehow it just got lost along the way in all the... well, stuff.
