Just saw the movie "Hancock"

It wasn't Spiderman but it was better than I expected - I didn't want my money or 1.5 hours back afterwards.  :lmao:
Pretty good effects, not a bad story line.  Maybe a little too much adult language and graphic intensity for smaller kids but should be okay for teens.  I didn't catch any anti-Bush or anti-Conservative references if there were any.

Do you look for them? :-) So it was pretty good huh? The previews I've seen were pretty good. Will have to check that out :cheersmate:

That is next on my list to see.  I think I will have to wait until my son gets back from my parents house because if I go without him he might kill me in my sleep 10 years from now.

You gotta admit that in many movies you don't have to look for the anti-Bush or anti-Conservative or anti-Christian message(s).  They sorta force them on you.  Honestly, I was looking for them in this movie because Will Smith is Pro-Obama and Charlize Theron said we are a barbaric nation because we don't allow gay marriage.
