peterjacman A really good and different view on superhero movies, funny but realistic, a must watch for anyone who liked superheros and will smith!!!
grantss John Hancock is a superhero. A superhero who's also an alcoholic and let himself go somewhat. He's now quite unpopular as his issues have lead to him destroying millions of dollars of property. Then a PR man decides to help him rebuild his image...Entertaining, and original in that this superhero is quite flawed. Quite funny at times too (it has Jason Bateman in it, remember).First half was good, and moved along at a brisk pace. Writer and director tried to be too clever and emotional in the latter half of the movie, resulting in the fizz disappearing.Not great, but worth a watch.
adonis98-743-186503 Hancock is a superhero whose ill considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when one person he saves helps him improve his public image. Hancock is one of the most underrated superhero films of all time it's basically like a DC movie but instead of 3 movies you have only one the reason why Hancock is such a jerk to everyone is not because he is bad but because he is all alone he thought for years he was the last of his kind but he really wasn't and that is where the drama comes in sure the film has good action and humor but the dramatic element shines it truly shows how heroes are like us and the fact that if they love each they start loosing their powers and become mortal is just a genius idea. Aside the villains and the cgi which is off sometimes Hancock truly shows how heroes are being treated they might save the day but they still have their enemies which is the world for example Superman in BVS. Charlize Theron as Mary is the character that Will Smith was with decades ago and after a horrific attack they split and he doesn't remember a thing and i have to say that scene in the hospital where he got shot or stabbed was amazing they both felt the pain that perfectly shows love and heroism but also the curse of 2 heroes falling in love and as Will starts jumping around away from Mary she comes back to life just epic. Also Jason Bateman was excellent in this film and for once again Peter Berg is just a great director period and because of that i'll give Hancock a 10 out of 10 truly underrated science fiction film.
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.
