Will Smith Can't Save "Hancock"

Tyme — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:34:24

Not that the film lacks energy or is boring. If anything, with all of its loud destruction, bombastic music and profanity-laced dialogue, it overcompensates. But all the bells and whistles eventually can’t distract from the fact that Hancock—despite its intriguing high-concept premise—completely falls off the rails halfway through.

Seven Things We Want From The Avengers Movie
