At the beginning you don’t know what Will Smith is up to. It kept me guessing but everything he did had a reason, even the pet jellyfish that he got in his motel room. This movie made me sit through all the drama. It was full of mystery that I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t seen the movie yet. Yup, it’s that kind of movie that’s best left unspoiled.

Will Smith and Rosario Dawson make you feel that they really love each other. Woody Harrelson as a blind vegan did a remarkable job in this one as well. The music and the cinematography are simply beautiful.

I’m a huge Will Smith fan and watched all his movies but Seven Pounds is his first movie that really moved me. Smith has stated that the title referred to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice and it did felt like a modern Shakespeare tragedy.

Ben Thomas (Will Smith): The first time I ever saw a box jellyfish, I was twelve. Our father took us to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I never forgot what he said… That it was the most deadly creature on earth. To me it was just the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

Like what I’ve said above, Seven Pounds is the most beautiful movie Will Smith has ever made. In the end, all loose ends are tied up together. The ending is something I’m really tempted to write here but I won’t. That’s how much I respect this movie. If I could recommend only one movie, Seven Pounds will be it.

Being a Will Smith movie, I watched it last July when it was shown in the cinemas. Judging by the reactions when the end credits are rolling, there were some who were unsatisfied with the film. Maybe they were expecting it to be another Spider-Man. Then Hancock is not for them.

Hancock shows the somewhat human side of superheroes. It shows that they do have struggles to overcome. I don’t want to give away the story but Hancock had to face a demon of his past to be the best superhero in the future.

Charlize Theron was lovely in the film. She was perfect to play the role of Mary, wife of Hancock’s PR manager Ray (Jason Bateman). Will Smith’s presence plus Charlize’s charisma makes this movie one of my favorites this year. Jason Bateman did a good job playing third wheel to these superstars.

Although Hancock lacks a supervillain like most superhero movies, it didn’t diminish the entertainment factor of movie. Who needs a villain to support the Smith-Theron team up anyway?

Hancock (Will Smith): Good job!

Good job indeed!


*Spoiler*
Mary is really Hancock’s wife but they can’t be together because bad things happen when they do. Near the end, Hancock realizes this and had to go away so that Mary would not die.
