This movie is a must see for all those superhero fanatics out there! The storyline was a bit unexpected.

MCT:October 10, 2008"This is the era imperfect superheroes"
Chanellia's words
Here comes the new era , of the new-type superhero . Cruel , Imperfect and anti-typical . Here comes HANCOCK !
F*Ck OFF! That was the first impression from me to Hancock . The first 45 minutes just all-crap things everywhere . From the annoying super-powered man , Hancock . The pointless storyline , the destruction by Hancock himself just made me ready to rate Hancock as a 1/2(HALF) star movie . Even worse than the cliche teen-craze High School Musical .
But , as the time went by . I saw a very good development , especially after the <s>he went out from prison</s> and started the TRUE drama with all the characters . So here's , my kindness , 2 1/2 stars .
I want to speak about fact . Would believe if there's a magazine(called F*RST Indonesia) rated this F*CK OFF! movie straight 5 stars and gave The Dark Knight 4 stars ?
Since that time , even with that clean and nice layouts , i wouldn't buy the magazine anymore . Bad , bad reviewer .
Hancock has a little bit' shaky-dizzy camera , score filled with the character's voices and breathes (wanna' copy No Country for Oldman , huh?) , full of profanities script .
All above just made this movie is a super unwatchable to kids . Actually , if they loose all of above , Hancock maybe the next X-men for the kids .
Talking about the action and comedies . Will Smith and the script-maker broke them all to be crap-talks and profanities . It's sometimes hard to reveal the comedy side of depressed drunk 'superhero' .
Will Smith as Hancock himself looked depressing and really so-not-hot at all ,so far i've seen Will Smith as actor , maybe this is one of his worst role .
Charlize Theron as Mary Embrey . Why Charlize ? This role just down-graded her status as A-list star . You don't need Charlize only for this easy role , even if you put Sophia Bush or Lindsay Lohan . It'll stay the same . Well , i agree that Charlize was a good name for this crap . But , it's just wasting of her talent (and money) .
Jason Bateman as Ray Embrey . He's just another forgettable character , no impressions . Just awful . Honestly , you better put good-looking actors like Patrick Dempsey or Colin Farrel as the cast, if you want to raise the box office-profit of this movie . Same skill better effect .
At the end, F*CK OFF ! Hancock . You're not a hero , just stupid super-powered human . With no REAL antagonists and blurred storyline . What do you expect much ?

it was a cool premis and the acting was decent. The ending was predictable and lousy.
they could have done more with the premise. -
MCT:October 7, 2008
Little slow at first but paid off overall. Not one of Will's best, but better than the average movie!
-
MCT:October 7, 2008An okay movie!!! Wasn't what i expected though!!!! I thought it would have been more entertaining!!!!

This was a different kind of superhero movie. Packed with action and special effects and a believable performance by Will Smith made this movie a must see. It satisfies any guys appetite for destruction. Usually when the villians cross the line they get arrested. Nothing special and somewhat dissapointing and average. If you cross Hancock he trashes the town with you and makes it real. This is one for my collection.

worth seeing only because it cost 1 dollar. it was a movie that had no idea what it wanted to be: comedy, action, drama and it did not mix the genres very well at all. It switched genre three separate times and it was painfully obvious when it did. It had so much potential, will smith always seems to deliver but this was almost as bad as Wild Wild West
-
MCT:October 5, 2008This just goes to show that Will Smith can play anything even a drunken superhero! I thought Will did an amazing job like always and Jason Bateman was good for a laugh! Loved the plot, special effects and everything else about this movie!

Directed by:Peter Berg
Distributed by:Columbia Pictures
Cast:Will Smith
Charlize Theron
Jason Bateman
John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world. For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily. He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way of getting the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hancock, and they want him to stop or go to another city. Then one day, Hancock saves the life of Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from being run over by a train. Ray is a public relations executive who now can go home to his wife and child, because Hancock was there. Ray owes Hancock his life, and he makes it his mission to change his superhero's image and have the public cheering him. Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), believes Hancock cannot be fixed, and she doesn't want Ray to be hurt. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy) -

This movie is a good example of a great idea, but very poor execution.
Hard to review without giving too much away, but I think it is safe to say that Hancock is a super hero who has little insight into himself, his actions, or his impact on others nor does he care. As various aspects of the storyline unfold we are brought to a place where the story could have gone the route of true intrigue and incorporated plotlines that are rarely seen in "super hero films."
The problem is that these issues are simply thrown against the wall and they try and see which ones will stick. The writers leave so much unfinished and unexamined that by the end the viewer is left completely unsatisfied.
The performances were quite good as one might expect from Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron and they did quite well with what they had to work with, but it could have gone so much farther down the hole.
Check it out because it begs some interesting questions and has some interesting visuals, but don't imagine that this movie will move past tepid because it won't. -
MCT:October 1, 2008
well... hancock is really a quite special type of superhero, dont u think? at d beginning, it's kinda funny, but when Mary show her superpower, everything had come to a twist... hmm, at lis it got a good ending afterall...
-
MCT:September 30, 2008I'm all for weird, confused movies that aren't really sure what they are, but this one went from superhero flick to chick flick in the blink of an eye and for no apparent reason.
-
MCT:September 30, 2008
A good take on a original super-hero, funny and has lots of action, hopefully theres a sequal some stuff was left unanswered.
-
MCT:September 28, 2008This movie was really good. A lot better than I thought. It was pretty funny with a lot of action, especially with the Will Smith and Charlize Theron characters. Lots of fun and definately worth watching. There's nothing like a drunk superhero to save the day...

Hancock is a very good film
Will Smith, as always, does an outstanding job as Hancock and the special effects were pretty good too but the plot is a little thin.
If you're a fan of Will Smith and his roles in action, sci-fi, comedy or a blend of all three, go see this film. -
MCT:September 27, 2008
A new kind of Superhero story!Completely diffrent from all other Superheroes!
D -
MCT:September 26, 2008Trailer was much more entertaining than the actual movie. I just watched it because of will smith and charlies theron.

MCT:September 25, 2008
Smith gives another winning performance, but the movie goes seriously downhill when a certain plot twist comes into the mix.
-
MCT:September 25, 2008
It is a very action packed comedy movie, with a storyline that can shock people. Acting is superb with heavyweights such as Will Smith.
-
MCT:September 25, 2008
Divertente. La sceneggiatura sfrutta bene i colpi di scena, anche se, per essere davvero bello, avrebbe avuto bisogno di un'altra ora.
Effetti speciali un po' posticci, ma forse era voluto (ma perchè poi?). -
MCT:September 25, 2008
Better than I had heard it would be though I can see how it could have been a lot better. Tons of wasted potential.
-
MCT:September 24, 2008really disappointing... the story makes no science or it was just poorly directed , with better direction it would've be a block buster ...
-
MCT:September 24, 2008
M'aspettavo una cosa diversa. Bella comunque la storia dell'eroe ubriacone che si redime. Ma il lieto fine proprio non ci stava... però capisco che le ragioni di mercato lo richiedano...

A bum that has superpowers - the only one of his kind. Starts off as a awesomely crude take on heroes, but after the plot twist, it hits rock bottom.

I love action movies. Haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've seen on the previews, it looks like a great movie, something that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I love watching Will Smith because in his own way, he gets a little comedic with it, like he's not afraid to change the story lines, push the limit a little bit. He's very mannly and handsome!!
