| | Customer Reviews: Hancock, hancock, hancock... (03 January 2009)Amazing first half of the movie, delivers what you want...will smith as an alcoholic superhero who does more damage than he does justice. However, his later reformation, which could have been handled well, pulls down the movie. A slight dent upon this flick, if it were not for the dummest plotline ever in the second Half that will bore you to no end. Be rid of Charlize Theron and Possibly Jason Bateman, and this could have been an immense movie. The Movie Man (01 January 2009)If your a big fan of Will Smith like i myself am then you will enjoy this movie but i certainly wouldnt rate this as enjoyable to watch as some of Wills other pieces of work like Men in Black, Bad Boys and The Persuit of Happiness. It is a good movie, but if u sit all the way through it moaning and complaining saying "that was unrealistic" and "thats daft he would be dead there" then you certainly wont enjoy it. Just take it for what it is, its a fictional story about a guy with superpowers whos limitations are endless. If you must, dum your self down a bit or act like a young boy when watching it, then you will take it for what it really is. All in all, a good film, Smiths personality really suits Hancock, the majority of people will enjoy a Will Smith movie anyway so i reckon you will like it. Just Awful (01 January 2009)A complete load of rubbish - no plot, not funny, incredibly poor CGI, pointless dialouge, no villain to speak of and no charisma at all from Will Smith. Avoid. Brilliant! (26 December 2008)I watched this film on Christmas day and found it hugely enjoyable. If you enjoy Will Smith playing his usual cuttingly witty but laid back character he tends to put into most of his movies, you will love this. Funnier than either MIB film, more jaw dropping special effects than anything I have seen in any film recently and more entertaining than any of his other recent offerings. Brilliant! Bring on Hancock2!. entertaining, but not all it could have been (15 December 2008)Being one of those who likes Will Smith (in fact, I'm not sure I've ever come across anybody who doesn't like the man), I was looking forward to this movie. I loved the premise, the trailer looked great, and I felt it had huge promise. It sounded really funny. It doesn't quite live up to it. Smith's dark humour really works, the action sequences are well done and the film does get laughs, but I can't help feeling that somewhere after the first half the film makers copped out. The laughs stop coming as fast, and as Charlize Theron's character gets more involved things start to lose interest. Explanations of who Hancock is and his limitations are allowed little time (surprising given the meal they make of the build up), they're extremely flimsy and could do with greater detail/being a bit more thought out. The difference in powers between them begs a question of whether or not they can do the same things, and as far as plot devices there's a really clumsy one. I can't detail it lest I spoil somebody, but all in all I was unimpressed by it all (being an SF/fantasy fan, I tend to get picky about my origin stories and logic flaws in such things!). I make it sound terrible, and it's not. It's entertaining, there are some good gags, and it's got more to it than some of the blockbusters of 2008. I like that it tried to take a more original twist on the superhero genre, I like a bit of black humour and this movie will entertain you. I will happily watch it more than once and I will still be laughing when that whale hits the boat. Still, I think it could have been even better. Will Smith still rules though. If ever I was to lay claim to an action guy, it'd be be him. |
