Academy Award® nominee Will Smith (Best Actor, The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public. When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: The anti-hero Comment: For an actor that loves playing in action movies, it took a long time for Will Smith to play a superhero movie; and being Will Smith, he took an unorthodox role. Hancock is about a drunk, sloven man named Hancock who, when sober, goes about Los Angeles attempting to do superhuman tasks, though often with tragicomic results that usually destroys money, and occasionally takes innocent lives. His life changes unexpectedly when he meets a P.R. agent determined to help him improve his image, and the agent's wife, who has suprises of her own.
As a movie, it has some bad language that makes it PG-13, along with the final climax which shows some blood. And there is a lot of crude humor, especially regarding our anti-hero's least favorite phrase, a-----le. The storyline itself is almost original. Overall, worth the time to watch it. Customer Rating: Summary: SuperZero Comment: When was last time WS made a good movie? Where is Carlton? Save some money, rent it, or rent Ironman. Damn! Customer Rating: Summary: Entertaining...just don't think about it too much. Comment: The title of my review says it all.
Hancock was a good movie. I watched it in HD and it has some truly cool special effects. Will Smith was pretty cool too. He portrays a Superman-ish character, but in a way that shows us how Superman would be if he were a drunk with a sorted history. Hancock genuinely tries to do good, but his alcoholism, and personal demons usually screw things up and his good deeds come with steep collateral damages.
The twist is pretty cool, I think they could have explored it much better though.
For me, they revealed the twist and I kept waiting for more back story which never came.
That's what kept me from giving it a 4th star.
Good movie, could've been much better. Customer Rating: Summary: Not funny + Lots of sentences with "a..hole" + incoherent story line Comment: This movie has very few funny scenes. Most them are in the first 30 minutes. The rest are not humorous at all. There are a lot of sentences with "a..hole". The plot is incoherent. The special effects are OK but they and Will Smith can't save the film. Customer Rating: Summary: It has big plusses and minuses; not so much for the small ones Comment: The movie starts with a fun premise, that of an alcoholic, underperforming superhero.
It has great production values, super special effects, and very good acting. Scene by scene, the movie is magnificent, and each of the individual scenes makes you watch closely because you're not sure where the movie is going. It veers from comedy to drama to romantic something....you get the idea.
But the movie is less than the sum of its parts, because the plot gets confused and mixed up about a third of the way in; I'd explain it, but it would take way too long.
But taken as a whole, it is worth watching because you start to care about the characters as the movie progresses. There is, fortunately, a sort of happy ending, if a sort of confused ending (which doesn't resolve all the plot lines).
As a sidenote, there is a fair amount of profanity and scatology, and there are some fairly funny bits that are still gross and disgusting (like what Hancock does to a fellow prisoner in the joint) that make it not really right for small kids.
