Superhero Hancock

Synopsis
Smith is John Hancock, a reluctant superhero who would rather drink himself stupid than stop crime. Even when he begrudgingly accepts his role as crime fighter, he brings a bottle of booze with him, and his lack of focus – combined with some anger management issues – causes untold millions in property damage, leading the residents of Los Angeles to view him as more of a pest than a hero. After saving the life of PR expert Ray (Jason Bateman), Ray makes Hancock his pet project, determined to make the city love him again. Ray’s wife Mary (Charlize Theron), however, is worried about the negative influence Hancock’s boorish, overly aggressive behavior will have on their son Aaron (Jae Head).

There is much, much more to the story than this…… There were funny parts & everyone did a good job. Smith is a talented actor and extremely likable guy, Bateman and Theron work well together.
I like this movie but felt it was many details missing. There should have more details about Hancock, Who is Hancock? Where he comes from? How he got the superhero powers?
