Hancock Movie Reviews

" Hancock" is a 2008 superhero film directed by Peter Berg and starring Will Smith as the titular character. The movie tells the story of a reluctant superhero who is struggling to find his place in the world while dealing with personal issues and a bad reputation.

Will Smith delivers a charismatic and memorable performance as Hancock, a sarcastic and rough-around-the-edges superhero who is more interested in drinking and causing destruction than saving the day. However, when he saves the life of a public relations expert named Ray Embrey(played by Jason Bateman), his image begins to change.

The film offers a fresh take on the superhero genre by exploring the complexities of being a superhero and the toll it takes on one's personal life. The relationship between Hancock and Ray is the heart of the film, and the chemistry between Smith and Bateman is undeniable.

The action scenes are well-executed and entertaining, and the special effects are impressive. However, the film does suffer from a somewhat uneven tone, with moments of humor and drama sometimes feeling disjointed.

Overall, "Hancock" is a fun and enjoyable superhero movie that offers a unique perspective on the genre. Smith's performance as Hancock is worth the price of admission alone, and the film's exploration of the human side of superheroes is both refreshing and compelling.

The movie is much interesting and funny but not end like typical movies in which hero and heroines unite but it has a sad ending.

The movie is about a drunker who has lost his memory and tries to check criminal rate but each time he does mischevious thing and get into trouble so people hated him, and he was all alone.

He save a man life the man car was stuck in railway track and he manged to take it out in ridiculous manner.

He has some natural powers and he cannot die until he meet a lady having same powers and when they meet all theirs power goes because it is a rule of good and then there is twist in story check it out. overall the movie is value for money

Best moviesDespite popular belief, superhero movies can indeed be funny, and the hit 2008 action-comedy Hancock proves it without a doubt. Hancock is a quirky blend of action, comedy, romance, a dash of drama and a pinch of sci-fi.

Basically, it has enough variety to appease fans of many genres. You want to laugh? It's here. You want to cry? You probably will.

You want to jump out of your seat? You just might. While there is plenty to like, Hancock is not a superhero movie for the young kids, and the PG-13 is spot-on, due to alcohol abuse and lots of language. Best reserved for teens or mature preteens. Other than that mentioned, Hancock also has quite a bit a violence and blood, some sexual tension, and excessive consumerism. I gave it three stars, but it almost teeters down to two. Only watch it with an open mind, and expect disappointment

It’s ironic that Hancock involves a public-relations campaign to modify the seedy truth about a down-and-out in order to sell a streamlined fable about a high-flying hero, since the movie has been seriously misrepresented by its advance publicity.

The trailers, poster and ad images pull out snide gags(the whale-tossing, a remark about Hancock’s tight leather suit) and give the impression that Will Smith is following a recent run of fairly serious efforts with one of the lightweight, crowd-pleasing action comedies which made his name. As Smith’s drunken-idiot superhero blunders through the apprehension of a carload of speeding crooks, this feels like a(better) male-slob answer to My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and one vaguely expects Martin Lawrence to show up as Jimmy Olsen.

Parents need to know that although kids definielty be intrested in seeing this will smith superhero movie a definite tragic runs through it. That, alone with tha movies other themes - moratality, the meaning of love  may prove too mature for young kids and tweens. Theres also plenty of swearing and a fair amount of action/fantasy violence, uncluding gunfrire, cut-off hands, and hancock himself yelling at kids and destroying buildings.

An unrated version of this Dvd is available and contains a sex scene and some other materil that do not appear in the original.

Hancock is a superhero whose ill considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions.Hancock first appears in a drunken stupor on a bus bench that faces away from the street instead of toward the street where passengers would normally approach and board buses.

Will Smith does an excellent job of playing the disinterested superhero with an existential crisis. It was good to see Jason Bateman again but a bummer as well seeing how he has aged.

This means I am not so young myself anymore .It will be interesting to see how this movie performs to see if Smith wants to do a sequel. He's FUNNY! Go see Hancock because it's DIFFERENT from the mega budget movies that come straight from the comic book pages . Don't get me wrong, I loved Ironman and The Hulk.

I saw Hancock on DVD, and thought it to be a good flick. Agreed, it was'nt a very powerful storyline, but once in a while I actually like to watch movies that are pure action and humour without a real reason. Afterall, I believe all men are children on the inside, and this movie is made to appeal to those children hiding inside those men.

I loved Hancock's attitude and character. It was refreshingly different from other super heroes who are always duelling between good and evil or are always trying to save the planet from some bald headed freak meant to be a villian.

The most important thing about this movie is it has 2 of my favourite stars, Will Smith & Charlize Theron. I believe Will Smith is one of the finest actors of our time, and ditto for Charlize Theron. Not to mention that she is probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes upon.

I suggest watch it with a light heart and in a light mood for a decent evening in the couch with a bagful of chips and a beer, & you won't be dissapointed.

Cheers!!!

Sometimes you cannot stop yourself from identifying with fictional characters. The superhero Hancock(Wills Smith) has so many typical human qualities that you can’t help from considering him as an individual with a lot of potential but highly misunderstood. The super hero is named after John Hancock. "John Hancock was a Massachusetts merchant and prominent patriot of the American Revolution. He served as President of the Second Continental Congress and was the first Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but is perhaps most famous for his prominent signature on the United States Declaration of Independence."

Hancock, the superhero is dirty and unkempt, alcoholic, hungry and angry as well. Nobody loves him because nobody understands him. All his deeds are done in good earnest but end up to be disasters created by a jerk. Instead of lauding him as a hero, he is criticized often as a meddlesome idiot. The result is John Hancock is always very angry either at himself or at others. Enter public relations spokesman Ray Embrey(Jason Bateman), whose life Hancock saves but derails the train that almost killed Ray.

There starts a story of loyalty and friendship where Ray tries to clear Hancock’s reputation. He also befriends him and tries to cure his brazen character. Hancock soon becomes an unlikely part of his family but what Ray does not know is Hancock’s connection with his wife Mary(Charlize Theron). Though apparently Mary despises Hancock, Ray and his son are just too fond of him.

What I like about the movie is, it touches upon common subjects like love, marital life, and friendship in a realistic way. The movie shows that bad things may happen to good people but they don’t last forever. Ray’s unwavering faith on Hancock is rewarded as the superhero’s image changes for better. There is also poignancy on the attachment between Mary and Hancock when they realize that being close to each other actually drains their powers. Hancock is also similar to Amir’s character in Ghazini, in the way that he suffers from amnesia and holds a lot of anger within.

Will Smith’s Hancock brings memories of so many action characters that he has acted till now including Independence Day, Men in Black, I-Robot etc. Charlize Theron has also acted in Aeon Flux, though Hancock does not give her much scope of showing her physical prowess extensively. But the actress beautifully emotes with her big beautiful eyes. Her pairing with Will shows glimpses of the pairing between Trinity(Carrie Moss) and Neo(Keanu Reeves) of Matrix trilogy fame.

A little love and a little understanding can bring the goodness out of anyone with potential. But the love has to be pure. Hancock was a feel good movie and very different from the typical superhero stuff. Kudos to the writer. As usual Will performs well as a black angry superhero and is ably supported by Theron and Bateman. Good cinematography, realism and a believable script are also some of the assets of this movie.

*Best part in the movie:

*1. Hancock's suave transformed look from the dirty unkempt look.

1. How he deals with a prison in mate and a bank robber.

3.The romantic brief kiss with Mary and the outcome.

4.The sweet way Hancock shows his gratitude to Ray by painting the moon.

A lot of people might be bored with this movie so only those watch, who value human emotions and life’s jewels like friendship, innocence, love and attachment.

After learning of the release of Will Smith’s newest movie production “Hancock” I knew that watching this comedy would be quite a unique experience and my expectations of “Hancock” would be high because Will Smith always delivers a good act.  You just don’t ignore a good actor as Will Smith he is the kind of actor you take seriously even if you don’t always want to. In his newest release "Hancock" Will Smith brings a different flavor to the meaning of super hero he is rare because he not only bring on a bundle of laughs he also brings to the audience a bunch of surprises.

“Hancock” is a comedic movie that show cases a different kind of super hero, he’s a struggling alcoholic, sarcastic and misunderstood by others. Also it’s not common to see a super hero that creates mayhem and destruction after completing a heroic task.  Hancock is the sort of man who has a head of wood and a heart of gold. And he has come from a different dimension of time leaving the viewer with a bundle of surprises, and a lot to think about.

Synopsis of the Movie

In his story, our local super hero is John Hancock portrayed by Will Smith. Hancock has come from another dimension of time some how he ends up on the streets of the city of Los Angeles living the life as a derelict and alcoholic; he’s hated and misunderstand by the citizens of Los Angeles. The city of Los Angeles has embarked on a super hero with destructible powers that the citizens and lawmakers find helpful in their quest to fight crime. John Hancock's mission as the city's super hero is to free the city of dangerous criminals and save the lives of its citizens. Hancock’s meets his greatest challenges when he meets a Public Relations agent, and his family. Hancock discovers that the wife of his public relations agent was his wife thousands of years ago and the three find they have more in common than they thought.

Hancock is a very funny and entertaining movie that audiences will enjoy. Will Smith in his lead role as Hancock takes center stage when delivering a very good role as a rare super hero that grabs your attention with corny special effects that work, a disjointed and charming, brave personality. “Hancock” also delivers good action scenes, and special effects that appear a bit corny but workable. The cast delivers some decent acting, but I wouldn’t count on it being the best however, the cast does make a good contribution to this movie to say the least.  Audiences will be thrilled at Will Smith and his charismatic and comedic role as John Hancock, a rare super hero. “Hancock” is an engagingly funny movie and a must see.

The performances in Hancock are brilliant, Will Smith is undoubtedly a brilliant actor, but what possessed him to be in this clap trap? The story is week, and the plot goes in the most strangest directions imaginable. Don't think you know where the plot will go next because its shotty, sloppy story telling here.

As for the cinematography, you can see the Director of Photography wanted to make it look somewhat like a news report with lots of focus changing and quick zooms. But unfortunately, this is over used too much and by the end just feels awkward and out of place. However not everything in this film is bad, the special effects are just lovely and the humour is quite pleasing. Unfortunately, its still not enough to make up for the poor story.

Hancock could have been great, instead with a cheap and nasty story, and well over cooked cinematography the film is everything you don't want it to be.

Looks like we have been having a deluge of superheroes off late; while Superman, Batman & Spiderman have lived well for long on large screen and in our memories, Fantastic Four, Iron man, etc made good entries; cat woman and other pretenders came too. Hancock is the new kid on the block. Unkempt, drunk and lost, but with immense powers, invulnerability, immortality and a good heart characterize the protagonist here.

Not being the typical superhero, John Hancok saves lives, but unintentionally creates civic losses running into millions which leads to disdain for him among locals and the authorities. Just when he is busy doing his usual stuff, he saves a struggling PR agent from a sure death. The latter then offers his services to Hancock to make him acceptable to the society, much to the displeasure of his wife. Hancock too reluctantly accepts.

Hancock then learns his ways from Ray, the PR guy and works towards making himself acceptable to the society. But things take a strange turn when he starts to feel long lost things about Ray’s wife Mary who then reveals that they were angels created in pairs and that they lose powers and be mortal if they got close. She begs him to leave her so that he can do the world good. Oh well, they had to show some vulnerability, right?

Hancock is a very short a film at 80 minutes, which makes you feel as if you flew through it. You barely realize that the story is going somewhere, and lo, you have an interval break. The rest of the movie finishes in a flash. I really don’t call this piece of work as ‘tight screenplay’ as some may do. On the tech stuff, though it had its share of action sequences, the camera work and the SFX don’t seem too convincing.

With Will Smith, this year’s earning actor according to Forbes can surely bring in the draw at the box office. Surely, he has the charm in him that makes you feel for a character who is so clumsy for a large part of the film and usually messes up stuff. Charlize Theron, well, at first I wondered ‘what’s she doing in here?’ till the time it is revealed that she too is Hancock type. Pew; the story gets tiresome after that!

The villains too weren’t really imposing enough to really challenge someone who is shown a superhero. The editing feels as if someone wanted to hurriedly wrap up. The script begins with a promise but makes you feel that there was a lot of room for improvement. Despite it having brilliant leads in Will Smith and older but is still lovely Theron, it falls flat. Surely, I wouldn’t recommend that you burn your bucks on this!

I went for this movie just because it had Will Smith in it. I like many of his films like Bad Boys, MIB, Ali etc etc. But this movie was quite disappointing.

What was disappointing?

Will Smith? No, he was superb as ever and the role of John Hancock couldn't have suited anybody else.

Charlize Theron? No, she was looking as hot as ever.

Action? No, the movie had some excellent action sequences.

Plot? Yes, it was the main culprit in the whole movie. The plot was so loose that after half-an-hour of movie, you seem to loose interest in it. The ending, especially was very bad. I mean, if you have a super-hero movie you gotta have at least one super-villian fighting him at the end. But the ending was totally disappointing and in movies the climax is what makes an impression of the movie. So you have guessed the impression was not good at all.

You can watch it one time but I would suggest to rent a DVD or wait for it to come on any movie channel.
