MOVIE REVIEW: Hancock
So If you know me you know I will not pay my or my man's money to go see a Will Smith film...that's what dvds are for. Therefore I can't give a true review. But after a few interviews and reading some reviews here's 8 items summarizing the movie:
1. They say it's about the first black superhero...so i guess the likes of green lantern and spawn never existed in the light of will smith. just like how silky weaves never existed before beyonce.
2. The hollywood promoted "first" black superhero just happens to be a criminal, alcoholic, angry, poop mouth, scrub...
3. The 'mind' behind the superhero, who cares for him and is actually the one who wants to save the planet...is not black. This is the man who makes hancock more 'acceptable'(transform him from a 50 cent type black to a ...will smith type black)
4. Hancock only maintains power by staying away from the blonde...did i mention she's his wife.
5. But the stereotype goes beyond him...turns out Hancock "master" and wife also have the powers..and was hancocks long lost love... but was a selfish bish and wanted a normal life instead of helping people so she suppressed her power and stayed with the master for an easier life..she just wanted to be a good house wife.
6. Instead of casting a black woman to show that Hancock moved on...a bird was casted as his companion...an actual bird
7. But don't fret..they casted negroes as the blacks and Latinos who hate Hancock because they are criminals....hence mike epps doing what he does best...playing the regular negro.
8. So to get this right, there's Iron man who is so smart he creates the anti war weapon...superman saves all through his power of flying...batman etc. and then there's Hancock.....
Thanks to Sohh for most of the inspiration

Hancock looks like interesting spin on the latest superhero movie craze... if nothing else at least Will Smith tends to be pretty funny
