Hancock
Loved it. Favourite film of the summer so far, although hopefully Wall-E and Batman will be stiff competition. I thought it was a great take on the superhero genre, and managed to tread the line between silly and trying-too-hard. It's nice that the trailer didn't give everything away, but I can't say more without spoiler warnings.
