It's really sad because the first 35 minutes of this film are witty and charming, then it just goes downhill from there with plot twists and, well, just a disaster.
More Hancock reviews
The movie was a good watch and humorous in general. Will Smith was awesome as always, and the other actors were pretty great too. The plot actually felt flowed pretty well, and I really enjoyed the kick plot twist. The wholesome idea of the movie, but the coordination of scenes and progression of events was somewhat hard to follow. Also, the plot about the guys trying to kill hancock was undercut way to much for its significance in the final scene. The camerawork was the horrible. It really was … more

A constantly drunk and slovenly superhero was a refreshing take on superhero movies. Will Smith and Charlize Theron both had very strong performances. I personally liked the surprise twist.

Hey H'wood: just because Will Smith's movies make money doesn't mean they're any good. Give it a rest.

A good non generic super hero movie. I suggest watching it.

Hancock takes a daring approach to the Super Hero mythos. Where as most superheroes are actually quite heroic, doing what it takes to save those in danger and be all around good role models for kids... John Hancock throws all that out the window and instead opts for a surly, mean and careless superhero who has no charisma whatsoever. Did I mention he's played by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Yes, Will Smith plays the drunk, rude and quick to anger … more

Superman was raised by a kindly couple and taught the decent way to live and respect life. Thor is the God of thunder who was exiled from his home of eternal Asgard to live on Earth as a mortal so that he may learn humility. Spider-man required personal tragedy so he could realize the responsibility of having powers--Batman deals with his tragedy in a very different way, for him he does what he does for vengeance. All comic book "super-heroes" have their stories of the "why's", the "how's" and … more

"Hancock" is an oddity, both the title character and the film as a whole. Instead of a typical superhero story that includes an origin story, a sinister villain and a love interest, we are given a tale of a lonely man looking for his place in this world (as well as an origin story, sinister villain and love interest). Will Smith portrays the title hero (anti-hero) who drinks, swears and does more damage to the city than the criminals he's after. He simply doesn't want to … more

This film was better than I anticipated. The first 3/4 was excellent. Well paced. Good story movement. Some good jokes and laughs. Pure unadulterated humor / entertainment. The last 1/4, well it went a bit down hill. When we find out about Charlize Theron, it just kind of drones on a bit. The effects are good. The sound is good. The DVD looks good. Will Smith is fun here. And Charlize is in fantastic form. Definately not a film for kids, mostly for … more

I don't know what others expect of this movie but I thought it was good! Will Smith rarely disappoints and 'Hancock' is certainly no exception. Is it because there is a great story but it's not necessarily a non-stop action flick? This movie delivers on so many fun levels and I think it is really balanced well. It's not perfect but perfection is quite rare. Regardless, this movie is fun entertainment. Director Peter Berg, who last brought us The Kingdom, dip into with plenty … more
