Hancock

A pretty good summer action movie – with plenty of special effects, explosions, and everything you’d expect from a Will Smith film. A small plot twist that actually surprised me… There were quite a few things that felt a bit off, but no need to overthink it with such light fare ;) It’s great to see Jason Bateman in more and more big movies – and apparently, an Arrested Development movie is being promised, can’t wait. Oh, one more thing: In Hancock, YouTube was mentioned several times, the website was shown, and then a YouTube video was shown fullscreen with a huge YouTube logo in the corner. They also talked about YouTube a few times in Hellboy 2… Google clearly loves product placement in movies – for example, in the movie Crank, Google Earth was used for satellite shots, and the Google Earth logo was pretty prominent.
