Hancock

Today I went to the cinema to see new hero-movie - Hancock.
And I admit it got me by surprise. I half-expected a p*ss-take of all typical hero-movies like Superman or Batman. And that's how Hancock begins.
But also he's a drunk, looks, dresses and probably smells like 'typowy zul z Centralnego'. And is hated by most people because of the way he deals with the challenges.
It's all until this PR guy is saved from a sure death and in gratitude he decides to change Hancock's image. He invites him home and introduces to his family. And that's where plot starts twisting and turning.
All the movie's mysteries are explained enough without going into too much details, jokes are good, there is just enough special effects.
The movie is in general watchable and funny and doesn't make you feel like you lost 10 quids for nothing(especially it was quite heavily advertised).

'I half-expected a p*ss-take of all typical hero-movies like Superman or Captain Planet.'
I've seen the trailer and loved Hancock's rough appearance, tought he won't be like others but was expecting he will turn into a 'good' one type of hero and fun Will end there with him saving our world from asteroid or sumethin'.
