Movie Review: Hancock

Hancock is great fun, go see it. Will Smith, cast against type, did a great job as the reluctant super hero, Justin Bateman was charming as an image consultant of good will and Charlize Theron is just plain gorgeous and surprising. I was surprised by the humor which was very effective over all and the story, though fantastic, was explained to the point of credibility. The one bone I have to pick is that the director Peter Berg was a bit ham handed in foreshadowing one of the relationships. I love it when a film exceeds your expectation by a wide margin.
