It seems like just yesterday when I assessed that Hancock might be Will Smith's first true box office disappointment (I'm ignoring Wild Wild West for some reason), but this was based on the trailers that I had seen up to that point.
The karmic nature of the universe is obviously getting even as a new trailer was released, and (whoa!) this is a whole different ball of kick ass. It starts out pretty much the same, but then by fleshing out the story more (he goes to jail as part of a publicity stunt to repair his image), and then a 3rd act where he doesn't even know how to be a stereotypical comic book hero (even though he's trying too hard), they hooked me.
Suddenly, I went from "meh" to "holycrapican'twait!!!"
But I'm fickle like that.
