Completely disagree with Stailey on this one. Plot/genre twists as massive and 180 degrees removed from where the story started as “Hancock’s” are acceptable when a movie/script/director/actor has established a universe in which such developments are plausible. Midleading ad campaign aside “Hancock” just doesn’t know what it wants to be (superhero movie, Will Smith vehicle, family-friendly comedy, dark fantasy, sci-fi drama, etc.) and yet wants the audience to buy what it sells at face value. This is a screenplay/production that was clearly rushed to make its July 4th opening date deadline. A shame because, with some serious rewrites and an extra year in development, “Hancock” could have been the special movie Stailey thinks he saw in theaters!

Hmm, thanks a lot, Adam. Now I have ANOTHER film in theatres right now that I need to go watch. Sometimes, I really do wish they spread the wealth around a bit more.
