Despite starring Will Smith and being released on the Fourth of July weekend, the high point of the summer movie season, Hancock is not your typical superhero action extravaganza. While it is a high-concept movie through and through, its concept is to challenge, subvert, and generally play with all of our expectations when it comes to heroic stories about men in tights, which at various points had me thinking, How did they get away with this? But, for all its subversions, the film ultimately plays by the most important Hollywood rules, delivering a relatively satisfying ending that leaves at least just enough of an opening to warrant a sequel if the box office receipts are right.
