August 22, 2008This superhero flick not only works as an action-adventure & an comedy, but it also works as an brilliant & multi-faceted character piece about an worldwide archetype: the reluctant hero.

January 8, 2010A superhero movie starring Will Smith? I was all over that, but then I started hearing bad reviews so I put off seeing it. I finally saw it, and I have to say I found the movie both interesting and irritating at the same time. It started off well, but then it just seemed to go al...( read more)

September 30, 2009Really liked the first half but wasn't that interested after the unexpected twist. I think they should have explored the fact that he was a homeless alcoholic superhero more rather than the romantic angel stuff.

February 8, 20103 things
1) Michel had it coming.
2) "Did you shove a man's head up another man's ass? We're gonna circle back to that." Jason Bateman. You won't hear this in a Spiderman movie.
3) Thickness and Goggles. -

Will Smith and a great cast are not enough to keep this from becoming a soaring disappointment in this summer's superhero movie sweepstakes. full review

Hancock is still a lot of fun. Will Smith remains one of the most likable of movie stars, and he's a virtuoso of underplayed sarcasm. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
As for Smith, he's on fire. There's nothing like a star shining on his highest beams. You follow him anywhere. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Hancock is a lot of fun, if perhaps a little top-heavy with stuff being destroyed. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Almost any moviegoer should be able to find something to enjoy, but it's hard to imagine anyone liking this mishmash from beginning to end. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
What starts out with a sense of quirky fun loses direction and devolves into a mishmash of story lines. full review

It's the sort of role Smith ought to be able to pull off easily. But even his superpowers apparently have their limits. full review
