Review …

Hancock … This is what happens if you want to make a film out of a one-line idea – ‘disturbed superhero’ … Will Smith is okay, but come on, you call it a story ?? WHAT IS THIS ? Just cannot think what more to write about it. Period.

Public Enemies … And this is what happens if you drag a film unnecessarily long. Apart from lovebirds and critics, anyone sane enough is almost sure to doze off towards the interval. Johnny Depp is just awesome, of course. Sample this :

John (Dillinger) to Billy (Frechette) : You ain’t getting other people’s hats and coats no more neither.

Billy : Why’d you do that?
John : ‘Cause you’re with me now.
Billy : I don’t know anything about you.
John : I was raised on a farm in Mooresville, Indiana. My mama died when I was three. My daddy beat the hell out of me ’cause he didn’t know no better way to raise me.
I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey and you.
What else you need to know?

The stunts are okay, the ending is alright, but honestly, the middle is a big bore. Beats Godfather II.
I Love You Man … Nice and entertining. The denouement is a little cliche’, but it goes. A film you see, have some good laughs, feel good, and of course, forget !!
