Past reviewers have commented that if Will Smith wants to be taken seriously as an actor than this was a bad move. 

 

Truth be told, I totally disagree. Instead he has shown his versatility. Playing a drunk superhero is no joke.

Hancock (superbly played by Will Smith) is in one word, misunderstood. His heart (though drowning in booze) is in the right place, just that he tends to “put his foot in it” but it’s a refreshing view of superheroes, as they are always portrayed to be perfect.

 

Charlize Theron (who plays the wife of a Public Relations Exec) adds an unexpected twist to this awesome movie.  

 

 

It’s perfect for every occasion, except a family outing (unless it’s 1 crazie family).
