Life is a game.
Those who play...
Play against the entire world.
There are no saves.
There are no walkthroughs.
There is only one chance.

Good Job



***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***

Went out yesterday to watch Hancock with some of the judo people. It was, in a way, incredibly disappointing. The beginning was pretty good. It set the tone, told you how much people hated him and vice versa, and his unconventional methods of being a superhero.

So then he saves a guy who has a hot wife with an unusual hatred towards her husband's saviour, and this guy manages to persuade him to take the high road and stop being an asshole (which happens to be his crazy mode trigger word for comedic effect).

We find out eventually that this hot woman is one of his kind, more powerful than him, and used to be his wife ever since 3000 years ago. So the freak tornadoes you saw in the theatrical trailer were caused by an angry ex.

There's no main villain, the hero isn't really one, and not once in the entire movie we actually get to see Hancock do an actual rescue in a fashion only superheroes can muster.

It's quite a bit of a waste of time, but not nearly as bad as Zohan was. It tried, but it didn't work out for it when it deviated from the tried-and-true.

Will Smith still rocks.
