I utterly loved the concept of this down & out superhero! How the story proceeded to unfold however was rather surreal and disappointing…kind of like Shyamalan’s creations of late.

I did not get the Bateman/Theron casting at all, though I will say, Bateman does absolutely nothing for me on a good day. Together, they were seemingly sparkless and could not have lacked more chemistry if they tried. Theron and Smith were far more appealing and interesting to watch. I would really enjoy seeing them together in something with a bit more intelligence attached to it, in the foreseeable future.

Otherwise, it was a pretty typical lighthearted Hollywood creation that, in all reality, your not supposed to have far reaching expectations about!!

Sorry I should re-phrase my previous post. I should have said that most other superhero movies have very unbelievable plots. I love myself a good superhero movie. I loved Ironman.

I’ll agree with Trent with this one as far as saying that superhero movies are stupid: many examples in the past few years can prove that theory wrong.

. But I will disagree with the writing comment. A script, once it’s sold, is typically out of the writers control. There are very few screenwriters out there who maintain control of the script once it goes into production. As an aspiring screenwriter… I know this.

MANY hands go into the final product… and not always does the final product reflect the original script that was sold.

Aww Trent, you’re normally my go-to guy for movie reviews! I liked Hancock though. It was fun and light-hearted.

Good writing can make all the difference in the world. As I said, the premise was interesting and could’ve been handled much better. To say that all superhero movies are stupid is incredibly short-sighted.

Plot stupid? What did you expect trent? That he was going to get bit by some superspider, or be a alien, or be some kind of experiment? It is a superhero movie, I repeat a superhero movie. It’s suppose to be far fetched and insanely dumb just like every other superhero movie.
