Will Smith is the king of the 4th of July weekend movie blockbuster. Right now in life you can count on a few things, death, taxes and Will Smith in a huge blockbuster for July 4th. Think Independence Day, and Men in Black. The 4th of July is the biggest movie weekend of the year and Will Smith has the lock on opening a huge movie during this weekend. In Hancock, Will Smith plays a super hero who has a bad attitude. He doesn’t like people, yet he saves them on a regular basis. His life starts to change after he saves Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman…you may have seen him in Arrested Development, Juno, or Teenwolf Too) a PR Executive. Ray has the brilliant idea to turn Hancock’s image around. It is a great twist on the superhero movie.
Rob’s Rating System:
Thumbs up = I loved it, worth paying full price, and I will own it on DVD.
Thumbs to the side = An OK movie, worth a matinee showing, and I may buy it on DVD if I see it in the $5 bin.
Thumbs down = I hated it, wish I wouldn’t have wasted money on it, wouldn’t own it on DVD.
I’d tend to agree. I would also like to ad that I thought the beginning of the movie was very funny at parts.
I like this movie a lot but my favorite is “The Pursuit of Happyness”.
Anyway I like all Will Smith movies – he is my favorite actor:):)
I agree. It was pretty good but the ending seemed strange, like it didn’t really flow and keep with the ongoing storyline.
See the matinee.
