Yep, the advertisement got to me on this one. I just had to see Will Smith flying through the air drunk with a whiskey bottle in his hand. But, there actually *is* a story to this story. You will not find a traditional villain in this super hero movie, but there is one. “Love” turns out to be the villain as you’ll find out when watch the movie. This is no chart breaking movie, but it’s entertaining enough that I’d probably sit through it again.
It was unfortunate for the Japanese people sitting around me who weren’t able to laugh at the same points as I and there were many. This is because the movie was sub-titled in Japanese at the bottom of the screen and was not close to being able to pull off much of dialogue based humor as would have been nice. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of translation points that were very weak. For example, there’s a scene where the drunk super hero comes home with his new found friend to be greeted by his son. The son says something like, “Dad, who is this guy?”, but the translation just said “Papa!”
