Another big goofy absurd story. (Geesh . . . I gotta look for some realism somewhere). And directer Peter Berg shoots like Hancock is an indy (a $150 million indy). Lotsa handheld close ups . . . real close up . . you can’t see the whole face the camera is so close. We do find out that Charlize Theron has actual facial pores . . . so maybe she really is human. But that kind of distracts from the story. Oh . . . was that a spoiler? Sorry. I couldn’t wait for this big piece of noisey crap to be over. [ RT ]
It will be a hit. This just in from Variety: Sony’s Will Smith tentpole Hancock got off to a rip-roaring start, grossing between $6.7 million and $6.8 million from 3,680 theaters in Tuesday night previews.
