Hancock Review

HANDCOCK with Will Smith

 First off, let me say I love Will Smith as an actor. I thought he played every part well and considered him one of the top of the line actors.

This is why I just can't believe he, Will Smith, accepted such a patethic movie like HANDCOCK.

The movie opens with the viewers seeing a run down city. Lots of people are coming and going. Then there is a scene where some bad guys robbed something and are trying to get away from the police. It involves a high speed chase on the freeway.

The movie bounces back to some homeless looking person, a real scrunge bag, sleeping. There are booze bottles all over the place. A cute little kid come over to the bum and yells out his hame, "Handcock!" In moments he opens his eyes and sees the kid. The kid points to the TV's playing in front of him, in the store front, and they show the police chasing after the bad guys. Handcock asks the kid what the hell he wants. The kid points to the TVagain. Handcock asks the kid if he wants a medal and to get away from him. As the kid turns away to leave, he calls Handcock an 'ass hole.'

Are you bored yet? No? Well let me add some more boring crap.

Handcock sits up and reaches for a bottle of booze and sucks it down like it's water. He does this all the time throughout the entire movie too.

In the next instant he bends his knees and as he shoots off into the air, the ground below him is all broken and damaged. He flies through a flock of birds, he carelessly flies through this and that, destroying them as he goes along. He flies to where the police are chasing the robbers and flies through interstate signs that fall on the police cars, causing them to crash and do lots of damage. He rips the roof off the bad guys car, (they are still speeding) and they claim he smells like he's been in a bar all day. Of course Handcock pulls out his bottol of booze and suxks down about half of it before he starts to kick some butt. The robbers end up calling him an ass hole too. By the time he's done, he's caused about 9 million bucks worth of damage.

It gets worse, trust me on this one.

A man is waiting in a traffic line, he's on the train track and a train's coming. Traffic is backed up and he can't move. Just before the train creams the man, Handcock appears and flips his car up, smashing other cars with the man's. The train smashes into Handcock and he steps out like nothing happened. The people around are mad because their cars have been smashed by what Handcock did. But the guy he saved is appreciative and thanks him, inviting him home with him to meet his family.

Once at the man's home Handcock meets the kid, who worships him, then the wife who stars at Smith like he has two heads. She doesn't like him or want her child around him because he's rude, disgusting and vulgar.

Next, the TV reporters all bash Handcock because he's careless and creates hacvoc and damage to everything he touches. They want him to pay for his crimes. So he decides to go to jail. But he gets out for good behavior. Then he starts to help the police with some of their crime issues. Like he's become a superhero.

The next thing you know if that Handcock is back at the guy's house, the one he saved from the train, and he tries to put the make on the wife. Well all of a sudden she knocks the holy crap out of him, sending him flying through the door and lands on the hood of the car. She too has these special powers. But she tells him she's stronger than he is. There's a part where he whacks her on the back of the head with a baseball bat. There's also another part where a French kid calls him an ass hole and he tosses the kid way into the sky, then catches him. Handcock hates being called an ass hole.

Anyway to make this terribly boring story short, the woman and Handcock used to be married to one another, a long, long time ago. Neither remembered the other. Somehow they got the power. Then they begin to sleep together and Handcock finds out bullets are starting to hurt him. Later they realize that the more time they spend together, the less powers they have and they finally end up being mortal once again.

I was very disappointed with this movie. I think the content is definitely NOT for children to watch. There is violence, abuse to children, alcohol abuse, disrespect for people's property, adultry and more. Smith should have known better than accept a part like this and the person/s who wrote this story should stick to writing comic books. There was never a mention of how anyone got their powers or why. The story was choppy, dull, boring and would not be worth watching, even if it were FREE!
