It's like the first 20 minutes of X-men, except wolverine can fly, and he's drunker (and black). Then it turns into My Super Ex-Girlfriend, except it hasn't got Eddie Izzard. Michael Bluth puts in a pretty solid performance, but once Hancock sobers up, it's all downhill.

A more entertaining plot would have been to follow some cops around during the first weekend Hancock shows up in L.A. Would've given us far more almost-but-not-quite-heroic deeds to watch.

This movie's a good rental. Otherwise, eh.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite movies was Short Circuit. So I was kinda biased in favor of WALL-E to begin with, since they lifted some basic character design off Johnny Five. However, Pixar definitely took it and made it their own, packing the design with emotive movements and Vitamin Cute.

My friend told me ahead of time that this promised to be the Cutest Movie of All Time, and I think it came pretty close. When you get down to it, yes, it's a slapstick romantic comedy about robots. But there's also some interesting social commentary, and the detail they went into when they created this universe is pretty incredible.

I'm definitely getting this on DVD.

They're very good for the part too. Not just any kind of Russians, either - crazy para-psychic scientist type Russians, of course! What else would Indie get himself wrapped up in?

Seriously, if you want an overdose of over-the-top action sequences, this is the movie for you. Also, Indie the Second makes his debut! No movie is complete without a fencing sequence where each fighter is standing on a different vehicle traveling at high speed through a jungle...
