Hollywood's inclination to cause as much destruction as possible in their superhero films is taken to the extreme in this over the top silly film. I generally enjoy Will Smith, but he's really bad here - maybe because he wasn't given anything decent to do. As much as I'd like to forget this film, I won't because I'll always remember how bad it was.Great visuals, though.
... View MoreIt is not the best film in the world but it is funny enough and doesn't take itself too seriously. Some funny moments and starts out better than it ends. Bit of a waste of potential.
... View MoreThis is a movie to make peace. The black guy talks like a black guy. He is disrespectful. He is an alcoholic. And he addresses women with "bitch". Why? Because "they" are like this. No explanation worth bothering. Yet the whole white cast is displaying an acute form of color blindness. See? Nobody is using racial slurs, even if they are displeased with the results. They might dislike him, but it is only fair dislike and they insult the man and not the group or ethnicity. The whites are so tolerant and benevolent that they ignore the smaller flaws of personality and are hospitable and share food and all the things from the history book about the kind Europeans and the savage Natives.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
... View MoreHancock is a superhero whose ill considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when one person he saves helps him improve his public image. Hancock is one of the most underrated superhero films of all time it's basically like a DC movie but instead of 3 movies you have only one the reason why Hancock is such a jerk to everyone is not because he is bad but because he is all alone he thought for years he was the last of his kind but he really wasn't and that is where the drama comes in sure the film has good action and humor but the dramatic element shines it truly shows how heroes are like us and the fact that if they love each they start loosing their powers and become mortal is just a genius idea. Aside the villains and the cgi which is off sometimes Hancock truly shows how heroes are being treated they might save the day but they still have their enemies which is the world for example Superman in BVS. Charlize Theron as Mary is the character that Will Smith was with decades ago and after a horrific attack they split and he doesn't remember a thing and i have to say that scene in the hospital where he got shot or stabbed was amazing they both felt the pain that perfectly shows love and heroism but also the curse of 2 heroes falling in love and as Will starts jumping around away from Mary she comes back to life just epic. Also Jason Bateman was excellent in this film and for once again Peter Berg is just a great director period and because of that i'll give Hancock a 10 out of 10 truly underrated science fiction film.
