Hancock

First, this movie is not what the previews tell you it will be. While there are funny moments, it is not a comedy. It's actually a little depressing. It is a good movie, but Will Smith has shown us his acting chops. He's not just the swaggering soldier from Independence Day. We expect more from him. And while his acting in Hancock is fine, the range he's given was not. The characters lacked something. The exception to that is Jason Bateman's character.

Allow me to say that after the role he played in Smokin' Aces, I felt dirty every time I looked at him, and watching Juno made me want to start a petition to make him a registered sex offender. It was nice to see Bateman in a role where he was once again a genuinely likable, if somewhat naive and idealistic man.

Hancock delivers. It's amusing, somewhat sarcastic and very cocky. It might leave you a little unsatisfied in the end, but its way better than what else is out there.
