646f9e108c Melvin, a reluctant Superhero, lives only for crime, women and drugs - until he realises that the only way he will ever get to see his estranged son is to go straight and fulfil his potentiala crime fighter. would absolutely recommend this movie! in my opinion the reason this movie has such a bad rating isn&#39;t because it&#39;s a bad movie, but rather what most people thought they were going to see beforehand.<br/><br/>spoiler<br/><br/>most people expected a generic high budget kid friendly &quot;superhero&quot; kind of movie going in, but it wasn&#39;t. that&#39;s what i loved personally about the movie it showed the troubled life of an alcohol and drug addict who was gifted with the ability to move things with his mind. the way the movie was shot almost like a documentary at some points showing the main characters personal interests in reading literature and playing the piano; i found these scenes particularly coolthe main character spoke directly to the viewer about his experiences and read some of his favorite quotes. his personality is broken down throughout the movie and you learn that he&#39;s not just an alcoholic party animal, he&#39;s a father, a great friend, and most importantly he&#39;s only human and although he has made mistakes he&#39;s willing to become a better person, no matter how difficult it may be. Griffin and Dorff are great. They deliver. Music fits, camera works. Urban landscape is realistic and true. I&#39; don&#39;t know, but this movie surprised me.<br/><br/>Ignore the sucky reviews such as, just because someone expects Hancock mainstream money making style of a movie and then gives it bad review cause of that. Or I liked this one: &quot;It says comedy, but it&#39;s not, so I gave this movie a bad mark&quot;.<br/><br/>Loose the expectations. Nothing dramatic happens, but its realistic enough with good acting, music, shots and screenplay to make it a solid movie that doesn&#39;t fail at the end. It most definitely does not suck and subjective remarks like that should not be implemented.<br/><br/>Peace American Hero, which intermittently uses a faux-documentary style to awkward effect, never quite decides what it wants to be.
