Hancock (2008)
Hmmmmm. I love a good superhero movie. I really do. But only a good superhero movie. What I don't like is when one movie is comprised of two half-assed movies crammed together, is marketed as a comedy when only the first half is funny while pretending to have lofty morals in terms of a origin story that doesn't make a damned bit of sense. I wanted to see the funny, clumsy, drunk, belligerent superhero terrorize LA while sort-of saving it. I did not want to see some of that and them a stupid, ill-conceived creation of the earth myth with an equally unexplained second superhero. And I certainly don't like a movie that doesn't answer or at least acknowledge a lack of answer to its own questions. It's not horrible but it's not good either.
