Will Smith do it again?

Will Smith portraying a superhero who saves the day in his latest movie, Hancock, is quit apt for this superstar. Smith is somewhat a movie superhero having rescued many average movies, to turning them into considerably better productions. In Hancock he plays an actual superhero who lacks charm, has a major bad attitude, causes whole-scale property damage while in the line of duty, and he is simply an unlikable guy.

An early estimate claimed that Hancock started its screening with revenues of $6.8 million on its Tuesday night previews. While critics are all offering their usual critiques, Will Smith is such a draw card and amazing actor that regardless of any press, people will throng to see any Will Smith movie. Once again it is a very large production which cost $150 Million, and Smith is one of its major investments.

The movie and Will Smith’s acting promise lots of fun, and there is a major twist at the end of the movie. If you are a Will Smith fan, whether you like his humor, his on stage presence, his good looks - this is another must see.
