In top stories today, Will Smith is Hancock. He's unhappy, but probably due to the hangovers he gets from drinking hard liquor all movie long.

Blockbusters featuring an alcoholic superhero are hard to come by. And I always loved Will Smith Movies. With that said, I was really anxious to see Hancock, particularly since his remarkable performance as Fresh Prince in I Am Legend. This time around, Will Smith incarnates a depressed Fresh Prince with superpowers such as invincibility and the ability to fly like Superman. Or in Hancock's sarcastic tone: Some hanging wires and a good camera. Finally an ungreatful Superman?

Here is a plot exerpt from Wikipedia:

Later that night, while Ray sleeps after passing out from drinking too much, Hancock discovers that Mary too has super powers. Mary reveals that they are members of an ancient race and are at least 3000 years old. The race eventually died out because of their weakness which causes its members to lose their powers when in close proximity to one another. Members of this race were created in pairs, and are inevitably drawn towards each other; she is Hancock's "other half".

Very interesting stuff indeed! He's a cool drunk superhero, not to be confused with James Lahey, a drunk cop in The Trailor Park Boys. They both drink on screen, but only one saves lives.

His only weakness is no surprise: A beautiful woman. Oh how I relate. Exept for the drinking... and the Superhero. Thank you Will Smith, Vincent Ngo, Perter Berg, keep the superhero movies coming!
