Hancock Reviews

Hancock Review Summary

Hancock is "not your typical superhero film." Will Smith grabs our attention here in the title role, as a superhero that is slovenly and a heavy drinker. "Different than any other superhero movie you've seen," he always saves the day, but it comes at a cost. Reviewers caution not to "go into it expecting Marvel" ... "expect Will Smith's humor, great action, special effects, and even a little heart." Most reviewers enjoyed the lack of a "cookie cutter plot," with Hancock fighting himself more than a supervillian. They also enjoyed Smith's costar, Jason Bateman, with their pairing providing most of the humor of the film, causing reviewers to makes comparisons to Spiderman 3. Of the minority that gave this film a negative review, they disliked the ending, as well as the violence. They warn that Hancock is not for children.
