Film Review: Hancock

This is a late post. I've been meaning to write a review for Hancock all month, but July has been filled with good movies and too much going on in my personal life. Anyway, I didn't want to rush this review, because I felt this was an astounding movie.

In the real world, even people with super powers would still have human failings. In the 2006 comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend, the ideas of jealousy and bad relationships were played out in a superhero universe. Director Peter Berg gives the hero in Hancock similar human failings, as a loner, a drunk and a bully. What Berg also gives us is a world where one ordinary man can make a difference, even without super powers.
