Hancock * * * (3 unanswered Stars)

Will Smith's new movie, Hancock, has only two words to describe it, and they are "unanswered questions". If you are planning to see the movie then maybe reading this isn't the BEST idea because there may be some spoilers on the way. I feel like we were given the background information consistant of a cow. If that makes any sense, though it doesn't because the movie made little to no sense. I know I know I know the movie is fictional, but some things just don't add up. Like why Hancock like eagles so much? Theory #1: he was so enthralled with the movie "Space Jam", so he was then addicted to the song "Fly like an Eagle" i believe the rest of the song ends like this.... to the see, let the spirits carry me, I wanna FLYYYYYYY. But, Hnacock was 80 years old, you'd think he would be attracted to better songs. I mean that song is amazing, but there are things better. Like David Bowie's "Changes". Theory #2: He was raised by eagles.
I have just one more question, don't you worry. So at the end, he was dyin. Actually, I'm pretty sure he was dead, but all of a sudden he stood up and bounced away. How did that happen? Especially since the girl that gave him power when she was father away, was dead. Perhaps there was something else to the plot that I missed. Sitting in the front row of a large cinema, it seems unbelievable that I would miss something. So, perhaps they forgot to tell me something. Perhaps Warner Brothers could've made pamphlets for the viewers, just so when we have questions they can explain them. Basically, viewers, when you see Hancock, bring a piece of paper so you can write down all the facts and rules to the magic/whatever else can explain Hancock's powers.
