        <title>So I saw Hancock Wednesday... - Hollywoodland - BjLewis&apos;s Blog - Victoria Advocate</title>
        <link>http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/BjLewis/7979</link>
        <description>And yeah I am late with posting my review on it, but I have been very very busy procrastinating with packing my stuff for my big July 18 move. But I have seen the movie and it reminded me of &amp;quot;I am Legend.&amp;quot; Why? Well the first half of the movie is great with&amp;nbsp;Will Smith&amp;nbsp;playing a character who seems to be alone in the world and then the second half becomes typical Hollywood-esque movie making.
The movie did have a twist that I didn&#039;t see coming, which I give them props for, but really all the did was open the door for many many other questions they didn&#039;t tie up by the end of the movie. This is not a movie personally i think should get a sequel, but given the money made in the opening weekend of $66 million and near week-long earning of $107 million, you might see one. We all know Smith is not adverse to shooting sequels.
Jason Bateman steals the show as the man trying to change Hancock&#039;s image to the public. Charlize Theron is OK, but she adds to the questions you will have at the end of the movie like I said. I dunno, suspend logic and reason for a couple hours and you can see Hancock. I didn&#039;t not like it, but like Wanted, I felt like this could have been better.

                <description>I think your review is dead-on, Bj. I liked the first half, too, and then definitely had to suspend disbelief for the rest. Was &amp;quot;Hancock&amp;quot; based on a comic book, or an original script?</description>
