hancock

I skived off college today and we went to see Hancock. I wasn't expecting much because it has had some lukewarm reviews and some downright meaness from some of the sci-fi blogs. However imagine my surprise when we found that we really enjoyed it from beginning to end. It has a surprising melancholy running through it. Will Smith was excellent as the lonely hero and Justin Bateman always give good straightman. It was just a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Go see it with an open mind and you might be surprised to find that you enjoyed yourself too. I'm going to give it ✮✮✮✮✩. It probably deserves a tiny little bit less but I'm feeling a lot of goodwill towards it at the moment.
