Hancock (2008)

So, it's the 4th of July and we're going to a movie. Under consideration: Get Smart, Hancock, and Wall-E. I checked IMDb and informed Gary & AJ that I was veto-ing Hancock for having the lowest viewer score. Didn't work because, as the guys reminded me, if you're going to the movies on July 4, you MUST see Will Smith if at all possible.

For the first half, I was having a great time. It was original and extremely entertaining. I couldn't figure out what the low scores were about. Then, abruptly, there was backstory and a superwoman and I got it. Why'd they have to go for epic rather than sticking with the smaller (and much more brilliant) "drunk superhero working on his image" thing?
