With great power comes great responsibility... not that bona fide superhero Hancock (Smith) cares. The eponymous protagonist of Peter Berg's all-action adventure is another victim of our celebrity-obsessed times, seeking absolution in a whisky bottle to cope with the pressures of fame.
By Donald Munro REVIEW Hancock HH 1/2 Rating: PG-13 (intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and language) Director: Peter Berg cast: Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron Theaters: Marquee Cinemas, Park Place Stadium Cinemas Nitpicky viewers will love the chipper opening scene of "Hancock."
