Let's play a game to ssee who can name a worst twist:martin:

Started off as an ill take on a modern "super hero" and the real way the world would react to one--especially a black one.

How people would not a appreciate him.

How police would be suspicious of him.

They could've gone deeper--NOPE--GOTTA GIVE MAINSTREAM AMERICA CHARLIZE THERE-ON A STARRING ROLE

:why:

yeah I remember watching in theaters and the 1st half was phenomenal

it was almost like the writer got axed in the middle of writing the script and they gave it to a new writer to finish, cause the 2nd half was horrible

it was night and day. I completely loved the 1st half and completely hated the 2nd half, there was no middle ground

I want to know the background story on this script. Like a producer didn’t like the ending and decided to “fix” it.

That is what happened. The movie was originally about a drunk irresponsible superhero then it got re written a bunch of times.

The backstory of their relationship literally works perfectly with
the real way the world would react to one--especially a black one.

But to answer your question, Signs has the worst twist. Advanced aliens, whose only weakness is water, decide to land on a planet that is covered in 70% of the shyt:mjlit:

It made for a horrible movie with a tac'd on romance and clinched ending
The explanation for their romance inherently makes the romance itself not tacked on. They've been separating and finding their way back to each other for centuries. Whenever I hear people complain about this movie, I wonder how they would have preferred it to play out. Hancock just keeps being a drunk, irresponsible black man who gets saved by his white PR buddy? What was the end game for y'all?:skip:Love being a superhero's weakness is as un-cliche as it gets if you ask me:hubie:

nvr understood the hate for the 2nd half of this flick. The shyt was still "dark" and the hospital sequence is dope. At the end of the day he was a hero and he wanted to be a hero. Niccas wanting one of the few black heroes in cinema to be a scumbag the whole flick is just trash imo

I'd say the ending for the mark wahlberg, m.night flick was way worse
