HANCOCK
*snippet* The basic plot is that Will Smith is a regular shmoe/slacker who happens to have superpowers. It is obviously a comedy and I think that putting together Will Smith plus superhero just can not miss at the box office. He fights crime and such but apparently not without some prodding, and in the most comic book-like screen version of a superhero movie yet, he causes a LOT of collateral damage. Seriously, have you read a comic book lately? You do NOT want to have superheroes protecting your city. We're talking millions of dollars in property damage every time they fight some supervillain downtown. http://screenrant.com/archives/hancock-trailer-will-smith-as--1252.html I see something different than the critic who wrote this piece. What I see, is an image that projects a black man/men who doesn't know how to handle "power" and wouldn't know what to do with if he was born with it. >>><<<<>>>><<<<>>>><< "Study the people who took you out of history.

I think ABW mentions "Hancock" in her blog, "Diary of an Anxious Black Woman."
