Imagine a superhero who has no sense of responsibility and drinks. That’s Hancock for you. Hancock character played by Will Smith was brilliant. He is probably one of the most unique characters I’ve ever seen. There is no doubt Hancock can go wrong with Will Smith’s acting skills. Apart from Hancock there is Ray played by Jason Bateman who has the role of PR. He did really well in being the victim of Hancock’s attics.
Hancock was packed with action and drama which kept the movie going. Comedy came in the form of dry humour and goofy Hancock. However, the storyline was a bit messy. There was a very unpredictable twist, which got my upper-hand. Though, that unpredictable twist could have been considered as semi-random.
Overall, Hancock was a pretty enjoyable movie which had a great idea but not executed properly.

The last ever person you’d want to see saving the world. Hellboy is another hero but many look at him as a freak. It was a pretty humorous movie, with a lot of action in it. There were a variety of characters with different attributes which contributed a lot to the movie.
What I really like were the mythical creatures and action. The visual effects were simply amazing especially the one scene where the sword sliced through a drop of water. There were some quick and astonishing moves done by the characters.
The only one flaw about this movie was the main villain who had very limited scenes and dialogue. He played only a minor role, sufficient enough to keep the movie going. He could have done much more but he did not.

Rating: 3.5/5
There is not much room to expend when you have this kind of movie and with the title. Storyline is pretty plain and straightforward. There is not much of a twist in it. It was slightly fast paced as well. However, I did enjoy the humour and side romance in the movie.
The focus of this movie is the visual effects and especially the 3D animation. Even without the 3D, it has beautiful graphics. The way they capture the imagination is simply amazing.
Its target is for the younger audience but I think it’s open to just about anyone. It is light entertainment but I really enjoyed the lightness of it.
