Hancock (Peter Berg, 2008)
Rating: 5.4
Entertaining, and well casted (Jason Bateman is especially funny), but tonally a mess, as the film shifts between corny comedy, sci-fi, superhero deconstructionist drama, and action. I thought Peter Berg's directing style seemed completely out of place for most of the film, with it's over abundance of hand-held and meaningless 360 degree shots, poorly chosen music including several dated hip-hop tracks, and short cut montage sequences. The only time it really fit was in the final climactic scene, but the rest of the time it came across as somewhat amateurish.
