The lack of a central villain also hurts the movie a lot. The writers' plan to solve this problem is to throw in a totally unnecessary and badly handled plot twist to keep the audience guessing. To me, what it seems like is that the writers of the film loved the idea, started off extremely strong, and then began to realize that how hard it is to sustain a simplistic idea over the course of a full length motion picture (and it is because of this that Hancock is relatively short). Hancock is not the generic superhero film and is probably one of the more ingenious ideas to come across a producer's desk in quite some time. He can make you laugh, cheer, cry, and even root for his character (who is a total ass, as he is reminded a number of times throughout the movie) no matter what kind of shenanigans he may cause. It's Smith's charisma, charm, and unwavering likability that ultimately save the film. In the hands of any other leading star, Hancock would probably end up being a below average film. Well, from the looks of it, Smith also guarantees you at least a mildly entertaining film, which is what we get in his latest movie, Hancock. That's all you've got to say, and you're guaranteed a big opening at the box office.
