Konterr Brilliant and touching

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smit movie in order, I come to Hancock (2008)I watched the unrated version. The year the MCU started, also saw Will Smith trying his hand at a superhero movie. Hancock is two movies. The first movie is about an anti hero learning to become superhero, and is by far the better of the two. The second movie is more of an origin story, as we learn more about Hancock's past and he finds out he is not alone. Both parts could have worked well as as stand alone movies, but put together its muffled and uneven.The movie shows all the signs of studio interference and never establishes a clear tone. Hancock only works because of Will Smith, whose performance is stronger than what the movie deserves. Don't get me wrong; I don't hate it, it is sometimes funny, sometimes clever, and occasionally enjoyable. Especially the first 50 minutes. Charline Theron is ok, as is Jason Bateman (who basically just plays the same guy he always plays) One of the problems is the lack of any real villain. Red Parker is just a weasel with a gun and is no real threat. Hancock grossed $227 million at the domestic box office to end 2008 the 4th highest grossing movie of the year. Smith highest performing movie since Men In Black.

Christian Hannah Hancock I feel was unjustly criticized because the trailers marketed it as a goofy superhero comedy when in reality, it takes dramatic turns to show the dark side of being the only being with superpowers. However, I feel like it balances tones very evenly. The dramatic parts are very well done, and the comedic parts are hilarious. Hancock is a prime example of why you shouldn't judge a movie based on the marketing.9/10

Ersbel Oraph This is a movie to make peace. The black guy talks like a black guy. He is disrespectful. He is an alcoholic. And he addresses women with "bitch". Why? Because "they" are like this. No explanation worth bothering. Yet the whole white cast is displaying an acute form of color blindness. See? Nobody is using racial slurs, even if they are displeased with the results. They might dislike him, but it is only fair dislike and they insult the man and not the group or ethnicity. The whites are so tolerant and benevolent that they ignore the smaller flaws of personality and are hospitable and share food and all the things from the history book about the kind Europeans and the savage Natives. me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

khoa-56220 I love the idea of having a superhero going through a normal life. The movie starts out great, portraying a realistic view on the characters. I really like Will Smith's acting and despite the criticism, I don't personally find the CGI that bad.Unfortunately, the movie loses its charm around half way through the movie when the plot gets overly complicated between the main characters. Oh and also, plot holes. There are lots of them in the second half of the movie. They might not drive you crazy like how they did to me but personally, the movie felt really rushed as details are left out.Overall, it's a good movie to watch on your free time but definitely not a blockbuster. Although I wish they'd do more movies like this, the idea of a superhero who's just as ordinary as everyone else.
