I get the feeling that we’ve been unnecessarily hard on the upcoming Will Smith superhero flick Hancock, which hits theaters on July 4th weekend. When you really step back and take a good look at it, the formula is there. You have Will Smith, the king of summer blockbusters returning to July 4th weekend where he has never failed. He is flanked by director Peter Berg, who has made some good flicks in the past, including Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom. Add to that the comedic presence of Jason Bateman as the PR guy to Smith’s carefree, publicity nightmare of a superhero, and the hotness of Charlize Theron and we’ve got ourselves an interesting equation — an equation that seems to be leaning toward a solid movie. We will have to wait until July 2nd to see if I am right, but when it comes to big summer action, following Will Smith usually isn’t wrong.
