Ruqaiyah Najjar’s review:
I am a Will Smith Fan, and a love Charlize Theron. The acting in the film is superb. I thought it was interesting that they gave the superhero the problems of successful athletes... money, no one that loves them for who they are, power, and substance abuse problems. Hancock was a pro-football player. I didn't know how I felt about the first Black superman being an alcoholic, so I was slightly disappointed. Jason Bateman was the only real comedic relief. And the ending was meant to be selfless, but posed too many questions, for me. I re-watch it, but only for a couple of scenes where Charlize and Will have it out, superhero style in the middle of the street.
