    This 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.

    Really 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. Imagine if the Coen Brothers had directed it, now that would have be...( read more)en a five star film!

    Tricky, Hancock is a reasonable film, nothing special. The spoof type superhero thing is kinda old now and the effects are nothing special as we see things like this in films ALL the time now, big deal.there are some nice sequences and afew funny parts and the way Hancock is bein...( read more)g presented the film is trying to get u to relate and feel for Hancock, what would it really be like to be in his postion?

    This does work to a degree but it just annoys you cos you really want to have his ability and you want him to actually be a villian maybe haha I would say the first half of the film is good but the second half is not so good, the plot goes AWOL when he finds another 'superhero' person and things just get naf. It gets too serious near the end and loses it genre, is this a comedy, spoof or something to think about? a serious comedy?
    The plot also becomes alittle odd and if you don't listen you lose it easy haha I'm still unsure myself but it seems the further away from the other superhero person the stronger their powers? is that right?

    It's a lost chance for me, I dont like Theron, she's very overrated, same for Will Smith, highly overrated. Could of been much better and funnier.

    Entertaining and visual but suprisingly lacked any real punch.

    .Du divertissement, divertissant. neanmoins la seconde partie du film part en cacahouette total et c'est bien dommage.

    If it is going to be another one, great, if not, the end...it's not the best it could be.

    Nothing particularly special, but good fun. Jason Bateman's career is returning, thankfully, and he is the standout here. Will Smith needs to keep doing movies like Pursuit of Happyness in order to keep from being typecast.

    The only way to review this film is to split it into two parts. The film starts on a high note - it's quirky, funny and it all works brilliantly, but then half way through, the whole film falls apart. It merges into just another comic book film, relying heavily on special effec...( read more)ts. It's comic, quirky side takes the back seat as CGI and mind numbing action sequences take over. It's a decent enough film, but it could have been so much better.
