Peter Berg's Hancock is a mildly humorous action comedy that was unable to live up to my rather simple expectations. When I saw all the names associated with its creation, I guess I just assumed it would be better than it was. But despite Peter Berg's direction, the action was vapid and uninspired. Despite Will Smith and Jason Bateman's involvement, the comedy was unremarkable; there was just enough humor to keep it afloat and no more. The trailer had every predictable plot point and every good joke. Surprisingly, however, the movie threw us a complete curve ball about 2/3 of the way in, with an absolutely preposterous turn of events that I was not the biggest fan of. This concoction was a plot twist I could not foresee from watching the trailer. I was also taken aback when I saw some good drama, and some cleverness in answering a few questions I had pertaining to said ludicrous plot twist. And, for the first time, Charlize Theron actually played a character who was supposed to be hot! Which was wonderful. All in all, though, a quickly forgettable movie with just enough good moments to barely hold your interest throughout.IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448157/
