So much of potential

It could have been so much more... but Will Smith's Hancock left a very incomplete feeling in me.

The trailer showed what seemed to be the premise of the movie. This premise does pan out, rather well but too quickly. We then see why such a pace was required, when we see the "shocker" which no one is quite ready for (not covered in trailer, not covered in any article, nothing). From then on... it becomes a movie that could have become the biggest non-Marvel/DC superhero franchise ever created but fades out like a torn underwear which gets further shredded with every scene. Sorry for the lack of an alternate metaphor.

I'm not sure what happened to the script. So much of promise. Good CGI. Great actors. Charlize Theron never looked this good. Will Smith - we all know he's The Man. A great premise of a drunken superhero. Somewhere along the line, something got messed up.

Whoever watches the movie, we can have a chat over some tea on how else the movie could've turned out.

Sorry Will - it didn't work out this time.
