"Not what I thought it was going to be!"

I wanted to see this film bad, I thought it would hold me over for a good film after Iron Man, until my long wait for The Dark Knight!

uh...not so much, the story was pretty solid other than there isn't a lot of back story about why or how he got his powers (as in other superhero films)

Acting was great, Will Smith was great as always. Charlize Theron, hot! and a great actress.

Directing was ok, I would have opt'ed to add some back story. I have heard of a lot of people complaining that it took a big turn from comedy to serious. I got that from the trailer and if you didn't then you are stupid. It did just that he was a drunk fucking up the city then he stops and it shows it where the say "I think Hancock is down" you can see the shift in the trailer!

Visuals were good, which isn't surprising with today's graphic capabilities.

If there would have been a main villian and some back story it would have been great, but with its lack of both it gets a good and a 3.5 from me.
