So, who's this Hancock guy?
What does the Wikipedia say about Hancock
The story was originally written by Vincent Ngo in 1996. It languished in development hell for years and had various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Jonathan Mostow, and Gabriele Muccino before going in to production in 2007. Hancock was filmed in Los Angeles with a production budget of $150 million.
In the United States, the film was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America after changes were made at the organization's request in order to avoid a "restricted" (R) rating, which it had received twice before. The film was widely released on July 2, 2008 in the United States and the United Kingdom. To date, Hancock has grossed an estimated $554 million worldwide.

So, Hancock. The plot wasn't amazing, but the special effects were awesome, and the best part was the comedy. I've never seen a superhero shown from this angle, so I enjoyed Hancock a lot. Definitely worth getting if you want to see a different kind of crime-fighting superpowered badass!

Of course, just look at him fly and drink simultaneously! That's some serious multitasking. I bet Superman couldn't pull that off.
