Great movie
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I am not a superhero fan but I was told that this isn't really a standard superhero movie, and it is not. My downgrading is because it is clumsy, chaotic and unfunny. With actors this good I expected a little more depth. I did expect an unrealistic plot, but this one seems downright silly and overly contrived. I was never at any point engaged in the movie and was glad when it was over.

We give HANCOCK a Rating of Good. It was interesting, comical at times, and held our attention throughout the movie, but was somewhat a little less than what we had expected. The movie could have been so much more, especially with Will Smith. It was a good movie, with some good ideas and decent writing, but was somewhat cheesy in some scenes. It offered good graphics and Special Effects. Even though we give it a "B" Rating, we would watch it again. Good Movie Our Overall Rating: 7.5 out of 10 Rent It or Buy It? Rent It first.

I don't understand all of the criticism this movie is receiving. Everyone take a second and realize this is not a Marvel or DC comic book superhero movie. Now think about that again. It is a different story entirely and has some very unique elements. Hancock isn't action packed. It doesn't have a Superhero vs. Supervillan plot. I would probably describe it as a character study of the superhero. I think this movie does a better job of addressing some of the issues (and vices) a superhero probably would have if they existed today. The biggest conflict in the movie is within Will Smith's character's attitude, not necessarily good vs. evil. I think much of the criticism I have read about is motivated by expectations that were not met, which isn't fair at all. If you watch Hancock with only the expectation of being entertained, you will leave happy. Its a good movie, don't jump on the bandwagon of not liking it just because you can. Give it a chance and take it for what it is, a July 4th action/comedy.Read full review
Hancock was a pretty interesting as well as entertaining movie. It definitely wasn't your typical superhero movie; and it wasn't originally a DC or Marvel comic. It's more about what would happen if someone with superheroes was around in modern times, and that is what makes it interesting. If there's some property damage done while catching criminals, people will be angry; if a vigilante has a bad attitude, people will be angry. I suppose Batman explores some of that not being liked by the public, as well as the bad attitude and personal trauma of the hero, but I found Hancock to be quite original in its handling of these issues. I liked the media attention and the use of sunglasses as a "mask" of sorts. I really liked how Hancock progresses as a character, and I liked the other characters as well. Usually little kids in movies annoy me, but the son of the supporting character was pretty cute and endearing. This isn't really a hero movie where there is a superhero and a super villain; I think it's more about what it means to be a human and relate to other people, to do good things and the desire to be accepted. I think the best part of Hancock is that it's about a superhuman who is just very human. It was a lot of fun.Read full review
