How do you know Hancock was supposed to be satirical? You the director? I didn't lose anything in the second half, it just didn't go the way most people expected it to. And we all know people don't like to be surprised; everyone wants the same old predictable stuff over and over so they can go "omg yay story time."

From shoddy pacing and a poor final fight scene, yes.

Also, I've read from multiple places that it was supposed to be satire on the superhero movie, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I don't mind plot twists at all, but I didn't like the one in Hancock at all. (SPOILER)lol we r anglez. If the twist was handled better and wasn't the completely abrupt change in tone it couldn't recover from, it really could have been a great film. I have no problem with unpredictably, but not unpredictably for the sake of it. =/ That's just me though, glad to see you enjoyed it.
