Hancock (2008)

Starring Will Smith as John Hancock who is basically Superman with an alcohol problem who couldn't give a shit until he meets up with Jason Bateman's PR guy who persuades Hancock he needs a better image with the general public so they'll treat him as a genuine good guy rather than a superhero without a cause.

A lot of fun with some crazy superhero shit such as Hancock dropping a car full of bad guys on top of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood. Will Smith is likable as an unlikable superhero. He's funny and crude and basically Deadpool before Ryan Reynolds and Marvel decided to get in on the act a decade later.

Or perhaps more accurately Hancock is Superman crossed with Bad Santa.

Entertaining stuff. Seen this a few times on dvd but last night was a first in HD.
