Will Smith offers more bang for your buck this holiday weekend starring in “Hancock”. Smith stars as Hancock, a superhero who is looked down upon by the public due to his antics. Not only does Hancock have troubles when it comes to drinking, he also has difficulties in communication, patience and destruction. It seems like no matter what Hancock tries to do, in saving a life, he manages to make the situation worse and cause millions of dollars in damage. When Hancock’s hero mod crosses with Ray (Jason Bateman), he is interested in saving Hancock, possibly rescuing him from a lonely and solitary being.

Ray’s wife Mary (Charlize Theron) does not look fondly upon Hancock. Wondering what possible reason her husband has for wanting to save this individual, she notifies both her husband and Hancock that there is a warrant out for his arrest. What better way for the public to realize what Hancock truly has to offer, than to remove him from society and have them appreciate the safety he has to offer.In the beginning it looks like Hancock is not missed, that is until the chief of police calls on Hancock for his immediate release to help with a rescue. Will Hancock improve his methods this time around, or will he fall off the wagon again?

Hancock is not your standard superhero, this is a tale with a twist. Most superhero’s inherit their powers or it is a gift, not so in Hancock’s case. His powers are found to be that of from the Gods and to be eternal. After seeing this film you wonder why did someone not think of this storyline sooner? With Superman and Spiderman being such a success it was time for a new hero, one that everyone can relate to. This was a struggle between the hero and himself and trying to figure out who he really is. Will Smith offered an amazing performance, and had a well rounded display of many emotions, all portrayed to perfection. Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman had stealer performances as well. Hancock is cinema magic packaged up for all to view. The fourth of July will not be the only day for fireworks, July 2nd will definitely heat up at your local theatre when Hancock is released. Be sure to check it out.
