Hancock
Hancock is a movie about a alcholic "superhero" who everyone seems to hate. That would probably be because he does things the easiest way, not the cheapest or the safest (everytime he starts flying he leaves behind a spray of debris.)
It had cool special effects, good acting, and Will Smith ^_^ . It also has a pretty significant plot twist about halfway through, either the viewer will love it or hate it (I liked it) which kinda makes me wish I hadn't read the spoiler online.
The only complaint I had was that in scenes with conversation there was always an extreme close up on the face of the person speaking, which after a while can become a little bit tiring.
Personally I thought the movie was great. It wasn't focused too much on the boring stuff, like romance, and it did focus on the important stuff, humor and action. I would recomend this to most people out there who would like to watch a good summer comedy.
Rating: A

The Dark Knight
Yeah, those other people were right, it's definitely a really cool movie. It's one of the few sequels out there that is better than the original!
Everyone who was acting in the movie was, in my opinion, a good actor. The new lady playing Racheal Dawes is way better than Tom Cruise's wife, sadly her acting is cut way back about halfway through (See the movie, you'll get what I mean.) Heath Ledger made a really good, I mean bad, Joker (seriously, he was downright creepy.) Christian Bale is a great Batman, AGAIN! Michael Caine is a fantastic Alfred. And Morgan Freeman is still Lucius Fox, the Q of Batman.
Clocking in at two and a half hours made you feel like you really got your money's worth. The story could have ended about half way through the movie and you would have felt that you got all the bang for your buck. But it kept on going for another hour or so and made you fell like you were ripping off the movie theater!
It isn't a kid's movie, unless your kid is a hardened movie watcher. In fact it may be a bit much for some adults! But if the disturbance gets to bad just use the ever so subtle, pretending to study the architecture of the theater tactic (It worked for me, but don't tell anyone.) Even though it doesn't show any internals (District Attorney's excluded) the film gave you enough of the violence for you to connect the dots.
I would most definetly suggest this movie to anyone, unless your under 14, suck at pretending not to be disturbed, or prefer watching films like "The Pride and the Prejudice."
Normally I'd show a photo here but I figure you know how to google stuff.
