The idea is well executed... well for the most part. The story is not quite what you would expect so it comes out as a surprise. Its good but you may want to approach the story with caution.

A movie about a scumbag superhero becoming a good guy with good actors and interesting twist/idea in the middle. But overall not too amusing, I'd say it's just okay.

Sometimes naïve, sometimes predictable, but good and kind movie about love, devotion, faith in yourself. Grab your girlfriend and big bucket of popcorn and watch this. "You will change the world."

I found the premise intriguing and commendable--however, the writing was terrible. I'm not a huge fan of Will Smith and though he did his best with the material, he did nothing to change that impression.

Hancock is a original superhero movie starring a lazy and selfish superhero.Will Smith is at his best in his role of John Hancock. Jason Bateman is really good too.This is one of the best superhero movies i have ever seen.

I think Hancock was an excellent movie. 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. TheI think Hancock was an excellent movie. 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

Hancock is really a amazing movie, specially Will Smith and his Hancock Costume. I bought this costume from "Slimfit Jackets" online store at affordable price.

Hancock has an interesting story line and character's. However, the ending of the movie is not that great and is very predictable. Typical Will Smith movie with a interesting premise but no content.

Hancock is a really good movie. Will Smith plays him really well. The whole concept of this guy who starts off as a total good for nothing jerk off and eventually becomes this really likable guy is just awesome.

However, I feel like it balances tones very evenly. The dramatic parts are very well done, and the comedic parts are hilarious.

Hancock is a prime example of why you shouldn't judge a movie based on the marketing.

I really liked this film at the beginning, but in the end of the film the story begins to be a bit strange...
you must watch this film if you like super heroes films.

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.

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.
