Hancock

Opening July 2nd

If Indy owns the Memorial Day weekend, Hancock — a fallen superhero in the person of ever-rising supernova Will Smith — lays claim to the July 4th box-office treasure trove. In this kind of movie, be it I Am Legend, Bad Boys or Men in Black, Smith is, to drop another title, Mr. Independence Day. The plot sounds like a darkly comic spin on The Incredibles, as Smith must hire a PR whiz (Jason Bateman) to restore his image in the action-hero business. It doesn't help matters that the high-flying, bulletproof Hancock is an alcoholic with a thing for the PR guy's wife (Charlize Theron, of all Oscar winners). From the looks of it, Hancock doesn't follow the usual crowd-pleasing patterns, and having wild man Peter Berg in the director's chair only whets the appetite.
