Default Hancock Movie Review

Scale:

Hell no
NO
So So
Go
Must Go

I believe Hancock is definitely worth a look. I thought is was great, fast pace and kept my interest. It had lots of action and humor which I'm a sucker for

I'll start with the good things about the movie. It was much more funnier than I anticipated and Smith and Bateman chemistry was excellent. The special effects were awesome and wreaking havoc throughout the city was a joy! Without spoiling the movie for you, I'll just say there are some twists in the film that really surprised me and grabbed my attention.

Ok, so now the bad and the reasons why I didn't give this movie a "Must Go" rating. I felt like the movie had some transition issues and what I mean is there would be a funny scene and then a hilarious scene and BAM!...drama, instead of a smooth transition leading up to the next emotion.

So here's the formula of the movie as I remember it. (blah, wow, wow, lol, lmao,lol, sad, lol, sad, lol, sad, WTF, rofl, sad, lol, blah, sad, lol, blah, blah...lol) and my smiley formula below:


...


Overall this film will entertain you from beginning to end, it's funny, had great special effects and a few unexpected twists.

Go Watch it!

I think I may check this out, thanks for the review Paul.

Was Hancock a comic book?

I didn't buy the fact that she was his wife. She could have been his Mother or older sister, and it would have been logical in the crazy logic of the film. The drawings he drew on the prison wall was of a parent and child; so, in what context would that make but a parent and child dynamic?

I have to compare this movie to I Am Legend... I liked both but like legend it just seemed to fall apart towards the middle/end. It was funny and had the potential to be a really good movie but just didn't have all of the parts.

It was funny...Thats about all I can really give it. Legend had a great beginning/middle but just fell apart at the end. Like they rushed the movie. If that was one of the worst movies you have ever seen then I guess you don't watch movies much. Sounds like you just weren't really into the type rather than the movie. =)

I saw this movie in theaters a few days ago!
I was quite content with it. It was funny, (of course Will Smith was in it).
But yeah, definetely a movie worth watching, it had everything in it.
