Action Hero MoviesThis movie gets off to a weird start, as a drunk & depressed & violent homeless man has invincible superpowers and causes a load of damage going after some random gangsters because a kid said “look… bad guys”.
After 45 minutes — already half way through — it finally starts to get a little bit interesting. Up until this point, as an action hero movie, it’s been mostly Barely Watchable — but now it might be getting better fast as the Hancock goes from being hated to being needed.
Around 1 hour in, things get a lot more interesting fast, as Hancock finds someone else has superpowers just like him. It’s just a shame we’ve had to sit through a boring hour to get this far, and there’s only half an hour remaining by this point.
In the end, I rate it merely Watchable because the good stuff is in such short supply and the garbage slow miserable drama is so prevalent throughout. Certainly not one to rewatch until you’ve completely forgotten how the story goes, and how bad it is.
