*Spoiler Alert*

I have to disagree with all of you about the movie Hancock. It started out as a funny action superhero flick and it was really good when we looked at his drinking and being alone problems. The part with Hancock fighting his wife seemed a little bit like it was just added for action. But once this movie gets to where Hancock gets shot it was amazing. Will Smith made it really amazing. There is this empowering feeling when he is getting away from his wife. so everything but the twist is good. but the whole section from twist to Hancock getting shot is such a short period but you guys make it seem like the whole movie.
