HollywoodChicago.com film critic Adam Fendelman wrote in his 2.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Hancock” from director Peter Berg with Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman:
With superhero films as hot in 2008 as psychedelics were in the 1960s, the new blockbuster superhero film “Hancock” fits with the label but without any of the ancestry. The 1983 film “The Return of Captain Invincible” is flipping in its grave.
