Hancock

I've been meaning to post about this for a few days now, but I keep forgetting... did you see what all we have going on over here???

We went to see Hancock on opening night. Has anyone else seen it? I'd love to know what you thought... James hated it... I can't decide whether or not I liked it... I definitely think it was poorly marketed... for MONTHS, everyone's been excited to see this movie... from the previews, it looked fantastic and, more importantly, hilarious. (I've said this a bunch, but I've always thought Tyler looked a lot like Will Smith, minus the whole Black thing... I totally thought from the previews that this is what Ty would be like if he had superpowers.)

I don't think this movie will do well, simply because of poor marketing. EVERYONE expected a comedy from the previews. Pretty much every funny part in the entire movie was in the previews. I hate it when they do that. This movie was NOT a comedy... It was a lot more of a psychological profile... not quite a Drama though... it kinda reminded me a bit of Neil Gaiman's "American Gods"... but not NEARLY as complicated, obviously.

thoughts?

I saw Hancock twice this weekend with different folks. Andy liked it okay; Jackie LOVED it. I liked it, but had read going in that it had dark moments, so I was prepared for some of it. Not the scene in the prison .... !

Hancock started out great, then it lined everything up for that perfect trainwreck, salvaged in the end by... well, nothing, all the passengers died, none of the product ever reached the merchants, Everything on the Hancock train was ruined, RUINED.
