HANCOCK – SUPER HERO IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT


Thank God. Will Smith is back and he is back with a bang, literally, as a super hero in his latest action flick ‘Hancock’. “Oh! No! Not another super hero”, if that’s what you have been thinking, just trash that idea. This is not the ordinary super hero movie wherein the hero bashes villains and saves the day. This is one different movie where the hero is not the toast of the people.

Hancock is not your next door super hero in any Marvel Comic. He is one with super powers, but he is not one with much responsibility. Wherever he goes, damage follows, even though he ends up saving numerous lives. But he doesn’t give a damn to what others feel about him. It’s a role right up the lane for Will Smith indeed. How Hancock deals with his alter ego is the rest of the intriguing tale. The movie, like every other super hero movie has its own dialog. ‘There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Hancock’. Good enough.

Will Smith is one of the best entertainers in the current crop in Hollywood. Hit after hit has followed him be it ‘Independence Day’, ‘Men in Black’, ‘Enemy of the State’, the unforgettable ‘Pursuit of Happyness’, ‘I’m Legend’ and he is well set to continue his miraculous stint at the Box office with ‘Hancock’ under the reins of Peter Berg.

Hancock, Will Smith's latest offering, is a great superhero movie of the year. The story of Hancock is very simple overall, though the concept is interesting and there is a small twist which keeps the 2nd half of the movie from dragging and makes the overall movie more interesting.
