Hancock

I wasn't interested in seeing Hancock in theaters, because I kept hearing mixed reviews.  Some people liked it, some hated it, but no one said they loved it.  So last night it came in from netflix, me and my girlfriend put the movie in, got comfy, and prepared for the worst.  I really dont need to explain the premise here because if you haven't heard of this movie you've been living under a rock and shouldn't even be reading this blog.  As im watching the Hancock im thinking to myself this isn't as bad as I thought is was going to be.  The story was original, the characters were interesting, and it had some pretty funny moments.  Then about half way throught the film it seemed like the writer decided to throw some words in a blender and see what comes out.  I guess I'll have to explain, up until somewhere in the middle of the movie it was a really cool hero film, but for some reason Charlize Theron had powers too, and thats when the film derails.  I didn't understand why this was necessary, anyway it turns out that Hancocks and the chicks powers are directly connected. I won't giveaway how if you haven't seen it, but it's really stupid and turns what could have been a funny and original superhero flick into a strange, badly written, overexposed,  summer movie.  Hancock at best is a rent, but really you could just wait for HBO to show it.
