[Week IX] Movie Review: Hancock

Hancock is an American action-comedy superhero film which was directed by Peter Berg. This film is about a person called Hancock, played by Will Smith, who has this amazing powers. He actually intent to use his powers to help people, but sadly he doesn't think about the way he helps people. While he is doing his job to help people, at the same time, he also make many damages such as destroying buildings, roads, and trains. It continuously going on, until he save the life of Ray Embrey, played by Jason Bateman from a train that's going to hit him. Ray is a good man and he saw a chance to change Hancock to be a true superhero, so he persuade Hancock in order to change Hancock's image in front of the public.

Ray kept on supporting Hancock, and finally, Hancock got the opportunity to show the people that he had changed to be a better person. Since then, both Hancock and Ray became closer and they know each other better, including the fact that Hancock has 80 years of amnesia and he doesn't age or what we known as immortal. Hancock also discovered that Ray's wife, Mary was he's own wife, and Mary is also an immortal super-powered human, just like himself. Nevertheless, both of them are the last kind of them, and everytime they get closer, they become more mortal and powerless.

In my opinion, it's a very funny film and it has a good story line. Its story line is not obvious like any other films, which makes it interesting to be watch. Not just that, it also contain some moralS in it, such as in life, we need to make choices and we need to have the will to change to be a better person.
