Hancock Reviews

Last year we started our family tradition of going out to the movies on the Fourth of July.  Our first year doing this we saw Transformers and we all loved it.  This year we chose Hancock and loved it!!

Will Smith stars as a superhero gone bad.  He does a great job in portraying Hancock!  This film is full of great one liners!  It's a film for older children up to adults.  My daughter is just shy of being 11 and liked it.  (Yes, it does have some profanity.)

About the movie: 

As most of the reviews state, "there are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock."  Hancock

Hancock, starring Will Smith, came out of nowhere for me.  I saw a few short previews throughout the past few weeks and then suddenly it's here!  All I really knew about it was that Will Smith had super human powers.  The film turned out to be really good, and different than any other super hero movie you've seen.  Don't go into it expecting marvel.  Instead, go into it expecting Will Smith's humor, great action and special effects, and even a little heart.

Hancock is a man who has super hero powers.  He can fly, lift cars, and bullets bounce right off him.  He spends his time drinking and...

Hancock was a movie that was both interesting and entertaining. It was not the kind of movie that, at first, I could see Will Smith playing. As time went on, I changed my mind. Will Smith is like Nicholas Cage. They both have to play in feel good and not so feel good parts. Will Smith plays an immortal named Hancock with amnesia. He is not a nice guy when he saves people and as a result, he is not liked. That is until he saves the life of Jason Bateman's character and that all changes.

Jason Bateman's character makes Hancock his life mission to change his image and he does it will style. In the...

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...

To be blunt I'm not really a big comic fan that's why when this trend of turning comic books into movies occured I wasnt one to jump on the bandwagon. X-men wasnt something I could fully get, Superman even though my husband is a huge fan took me two sittings to get through and Spiderman just got plain old. The movie that dragged me into sitting down and giving comic book movies another look was Sin City it had a feeling of real which I enjoyed. So when my husband stop at the movie section in the store picked it up and said "honey let's get this." I broke down and said yes.

 I love the Hancock...

First off let me say that I love Will Smith in basically any role.  Within the first few moments of the movie I didn't think my love would hold strong as I really didn't connect with the boozing, who gives a crap, woe is me guy he was portraying.

I really began to enjoy the movie once Jason Bateman and Smith got together.  The two extremists were like oil and vinegar but when mixed what an awesome result.  I began to suspect that there was something between Smith and Theron when he mentioned the movie tickets.

This is not a movie for people expecting the next superhero franchise.  This is...
