HANCOCK doesn't age!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Ah, now this is the kind of scene I was looking forward to watching in Peter Berg's (The Kingdom, Friday Night Lights) superhero movie Hancock. The one's you don't get in the usual superhero movie, the one's where it's a fully realised environment where we see how Hancock - who power is known to everybody in the world it seems, tries to integrate with the common man.

And look at Charlize Theron. She is just gushing over him right now, she is so hot for him. Poor Jason Bateman would never be able to compete with the raw magnetism of Will Smith.

So he doesn't age huh?

Interesting. I wonder if he saw Citizen Kane on it's first run or if he ran into Nestor Carbonell from Lost on his travels? Some dark undertones at play here and a very uncomfortable shuffling social feeling to it that you just don't get from the Batman or Iron Man movies. In it's favour Hancock is the first superhero movie that doesn't have years of comic book canon behind it for us to worry about how the film is dealing with major events, storylines and characters - so the sky is the limit here. They can do what they want and it wouldn't piss us off, leaving them with so much freedom. Now whether they used the opportunity they had correctly we won't know for sure for another month! source - coming soon
