First, I want to say that I decided to stop using the thumps-up or thumbs-down icons to rate the movies that I review. Most movies aren't horrible enough to warrant a thumbs-down icon and the thumps-up, to me, indicates that the movie is really good. So, to be more descriptive, I am going to begin using a star system. The way I rate, anything below three stars should be avoided.

For lack of anything better to do or anything better to watch, I ended up seeing Hancock last night. It stars Charlize Theron and Will Smith. I don't care very much for superhero movies, but this ended up being a little more than what I expected. In short, Will plays John Hancock, a depressed, alcoholic "superhero" who has fallen from public grace. When he meets up with a public relations expert and his family after saving the public relations expert from an oncoming train, we learn that only a limited number of beings with his powers have ever been created. But they aren't invincible, and all but two have died. I'll leave the rest out because the plot twist is rather interesting.

I gave it three stars because the acting is good and so is the story, plus the beginning contains some enjoyable humor. In other words, it was entertaining and there were no major flaws.

I watched it online this weekend and I agree. It was a very well done movie with lots of humor. I loved the drinking and flying scene at the beginning.

Sounds like a good reason to wait.
