Hancock - The Filthy Critic

Hancock, as reviewed by The Filthy Critic

"The movie also feels like maybe three or four different ideas all crammed together. The main villain is generic when captured by Smith. Later, however, he's an Old Testament, speechifying, oversized baddie in the Batman villain mode. There is no trajectory between these. The end, which takes place in a hospital, feels so formulaic that it didn't raise the stakes at all. In fact, with people strapped to gurneys in a hospital while the fighting goes on, it probably should have been played for laughs, not as serious heart-string dopeyness.

It's a bad fucking movie, with a great idea buried somewhere inside. I sure as hell lost interest in digging for it."
