Great movie about immortal and gods. Becoming mortal the signs of weakness. Feel like a Story from mythology ancient times. With a modern spin off.

A pretty cute movie about an unconventional superhero who makes disasters everywhere and strives to improve. On an entertainment level this film is very good for both the action and the funny parts even if sometimes it overruns a little.

I think it may gain more recognition later on, it was released the same year as the Dark Knight and took a bit of a back seat to it despite the box office success. I find the movie very underrated. The whole cast is strong. Will Smith is always doing something cool and different and this may even be my favorite film he's done so far. Charlize Theron is also very good and Jason Bateman plays a role that I think he should be playing more rather than be the smart straight laced guy in a comedy movie. Hancock follows a new formula, its not full of clichés and it shows a side to a superhero that has never been seen before.… Expand

The effects are superb, but effects don't make a movie. What makes a movie is the story. This one has it. The characters, at least the three primary characters, are three dimensional, as is the plot. If you got "Unbreakable," you'll get this one, and you'll appreciate it.

For the first 65 minutes of "Hancock," I was ready to give the movie a perfect 10. We saw great action, strong performances from the leads, original storyline, thought-provoking themes, and a great twist. But then at the climax, the film For the first 65 minutes of "Hancock," I was ready to give the movie a perfect 10. We saw great action, strong performances from the leads, original storyline, thought-provoking themes, and a great twist. But then at the climax, the film went down hill. The villain came across too much as a plot device than a real character, and the explanation of Hancock's powers gave me the "that's it?" reaction. So because of those two things, I have to bring the rating down by two notches. Still, it is worth the price of admission and worthy of a sequel/prequel and buying on DVD.… Expand

I think its unfair to compare Hancock to Will Smith's prior summer blcokbusters.

Movies like Men In Black and Independence Day were family films, pg13 from start to finish, Hancock deserved an R rating and dumbing it down to fit a pg13 audience probably ruined the movie. Hopefully an unrated dvd will fill in some of the blanks but this movie is not as bad as some critics make it out to be. If Independence Day was a 9 and MiB was an 8, Hancock comes in at a solid ; go see it and decide for yourself.… Expand

I enjoyed this movie if not solely for the novelty of Will Smith as a drunk superhero. The plot is not spectacular, but the premise itself is very interesting.

I originally went to see the movie wondering why the deficit was so high with either a 90 or a 0. After seeing the movie I realized why only one reason why this movie got so many mixed reviews. It is because of the Interracial implications that are in this film thus giving us a gauge on how reviewers can be. If you have an heart to put that aside, it to me was a solid super hero film, (I watch them all), not quite as good as Iron Man, but much more intense as the Hulk plus much funnier than both. Hancock uses super powers from many comic book superheroes, yet it stands as original in many ways. If you are about superhero films,I say give it a try.… Expand

The truth is that while this film is not perfect (it could be longer to avoid less jarring changes in tone as one reviewer pointed out), it is somewhat daring and scratches beneath the surface of super hero, emotionally speaking. This guy is not just flawed but he's hurt, alone and very much vulnerable in a less superficial way than say, Bruce Banner. The film delivers a pantload of action but generally speaking that's the most boring stuff in it. The interaction between Bateman, Theron, Smith and the child actor whose name escapes me were really what held my attention. I hope that they release a much more extended version for DVD so we can see a lot of the story and character stuff that the studio or director felt would "bog down" the film. I hate when they cut out valid pieces of storytelling for the sake of pacing. The end product inevitably gives the viewer the sense that they are watching the Cliffnotes version of the original screenplay. Nonetheless, "Hancock" is definitely one of the more original and interesting summer blockbusters to come out in a while. It raises some ideas you might end up thinking about after the film is over. That's kind've amazing in itself for this sort of picture. I recommend it as a first day rental at least.… Expand
