Will you be my hero Hancock?

Advantages: Willl Smith is good, funny in parts
Disadvantages: Not best story ever

...it a go. Hancock is a story about a superhero called Hancock (Will Smith). Hancock isn't your normal superhero though. He drinks, he is lazy, he tends to break things a lot and no-one seems to like him much. We see him in the beginning of the film lying on a bench, drunk looking a bit like someone who is homeless. He has to be woken up by a child to show him that there is a high speed police chase going on. Hancock goes to help but as usual seems ...
...the car. Just in time Hancock flies in and tips the car up throwing it on to the cards queued behind whilst stopping the train with his body. The people are still annoyed as Hancock has thrown the car on theirs, causing a lot of damage as usual. One man appreciates his gesture though and that is Ray. Hancock flies the car back to Rays house where he meets Rays wife Mary (Charlize Theron) and son Aaron (Jae Head). Ray invites Hancock in for dinner ...

Will Goes Wild!

Advantages: good fun story, good acting
Disadvantages: Bit far fetched at times

The Wild Wild West is set in 1869 in America. Will Smith plays the role of a special government agent, James West who is teamed up with Artemus Gordon, played by Kevin Kline. The two men do not see eye to eye as West does not like all of the fancy gadget and new inventions which Gordon uses, he is more into the good old fashioned ways. The pair are given a job of finding out where all of the Scientists have been kidnapped to and why they have been ...
...I am not really into Wild West type films, despite having to endure all of hubby’s john Wayne films! I have to say that I surprised by it. The storyline to the film was completely far fetched but I did manage to see past this and watch the film for what it was. I enjoyed how the film was more of a comedy than I was expecting it o be and this did make it better. I could not believe some of the things which the writer were able to get away with in ...

The man behind the boxing gloves

Advantages: Excellent performance by Will Smith, compelling viewing
Disadvantages: Boxing fans won't like the lack of boxing

Born Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali converted to Islam during the course of his boxing career, and turned his back on his Christian background and slave name. This was to colour much of his life outside of boxing; he divorced his first wife, for example, because although she converted to Islam herself, she refused to dress appropriately. He claimed that fighting in the Vietnam war was against his religious beliefs, leading to all sorts of trouble, including ...
...insignificant compared to that of Ali - the man himself was larger than life and Will Smith took that on board and eclipsed everyone else in the film. I do, however, have to briefly mention Jon Voight, who plays Howard Cosell, a journalist who develops a love/hate relationship with Ali - his chemistry with Will Smith is fantastic and together, they add some much needed humour to the film. I have already mentioned my dislike of boxing. I think one ...

Bayhem Begins

Advantages: Guns, swearing, explosions, and good acting from the cast.
Disadvantages: Guns, swearing, explosions

...soundtracks to sell their movie. Bad Boys has all these aspects in spades. Bruckheimer would return to Miami with CSI. The performances in the movie are uniformly excellent. Lawrence gives his best performance in a mainstream movie ever as the put upon family man. Smith, playing effectively the straight man in the duo is charming and cool. Tea Leoni makes a great comic foil for the pair of them as eyewitness Julie who spills her guts to Marcus believing ...
...The Boom & Bang In Bad Boys' or 'We got guns man. We got guns.' or 'Great Mikes think alike. ‘A good documentary about the elements that make a Bay movie great. Explosions, Car Chases, training with the real police force (assault course) and guns. Features Interviews with Michael Bay, Michael Meinardus (Pyrotechnics), Mike Papic (Weapons Handler), Anthony Simonaitis (Pyrotechnician and wannabe Mike) and Will Smith (Playing Mike). 2.

And Some Skittles

Advantages: Performances, storyline and effects
Disadvantages: Nothing, it's honestly perfect

Looking at Bad Boys there is no way I would imagine this was released when I was just 6 years old back in 1995, as it's a film that can stand tall even to this day. I'm not sure how groundbreaking it was back in the day but to me it seems like it must have been a film ahead of its time, because surely films haven't evolved for over 10 years? This morning I rewatched Bad Boys, and what follows is my verdict. Martin Lawrence is the star of the film ...
...are partners in crime - Bad Boys. Previous to this Lawrence's biggest appearance was in Big Momma's House, and unlike Smith I haven't really seen Lawrence in any films that have grabbed me, he's currently in pre-production for a 2008 released called The Better Man. Unlike Smith who always seems to be involved in something, whether it be a music career or more big releases like 'iRobot' and 'Pursuit of Happyness'. Opening scenes are always crucial ...
