Hancock -- early word
From a Hollywood Reporter blog:
And to think, we were really looking forward to "Hancock."
And then we saw it. So did a bunch of other people who walked out of last night's screening in Hollywood scratching their heads.
So as not to fill a post with pure vitriol, we let it sit. Didn't help. The more we've thought about it today, the more disappointed we are with the mishmash of over-the-top CGI, incomprehensible drama in black comedy's clothing, "love story" and whatever else was thrown into that high-priced misfire.
In a word: terrible.
From Variety's review:
"All the potential the premise seemed to offer is frittered away, mind-boggling gaps of logic come to the fore, and arbitrary plot devices serve to shortchange a story that could have gone in much more interesting directions."
