Hancock: Super Smith

Thursday 24 April 2008


I love Will Smith. In a masculine, admiring way. He can do comedy (Men In Black), he can do family entertainment (Independence Day), he can do romance (Hitch), and he can do straight drama (Ali/The Pursuit Of Happyness). He's a top movie star, an all-round decent guy, and a genuine role model for kids. Okay, that's enough of the love-in...

Smith has a comedy out this summer called Hancock, where he plays a layabout, grouchy superhero nobody likes. It's crammed full of amazing special effects and everything I've seen has looked very entertaining. I'm really looking forward to it, actually -- particularly because Smith's the kind of performer who can make you laugh at jokes you've seen in a trailer a hundred times before. Check out the sneak-peak above.
