The shorts for this movie make it seem like a comedy and, although there are some absurdly comic moments, it is a mostly serious study of a man with superpowers who may be the only one of his kind. Will Smith is a drunken “superhero” who aimlessly lives his life and leaves a path of destruction in his half-hearted attempts to be heroic. Jason Bateman is an idealistic PR man who thinks he can revamp Will’s image and turn him in to a popular public figure. Bateman’s wife, Charlize Theron, is not supportive of this course of action. The film would have been even better if it was more serious, and maybe it would have also been better if it was a total comedy, but the end result is good anyway, and better than most of the comic based superhero movies.
