Review of Hancock DVD by ChemicalRomance

Advantages: It is so funny..
Disadvantages: Only 90 minutes running time..

...asked me to go see Hancock with him I was actually slightly excited, as from the trailers it looks like a really funny film.. I was left wondering if I was going to be disappointed..? But I wasn't..! The Film At ninety minutes long it is not the most lengthy film, but it does not skimp on the drama or comedy. Released on July 2nd both in the United kingdom and the United States, it was one of the biggest box office smashes of recent films ...
...Hancock's public image Ray decides Hancock should go to prison and prove just how much he is needed in Los Angeles.. Its not long before the city realise quite how much they need him, when he is called upon to save a police officer in a hostage situation. Once again a hero, things seem unsettled.. The Best Bits From the trailer you have probably seen some of the funny bits.. But trust me there is more..! It seems Hancock has a thing for ... Read review

Hancock's finest hour and a half!
Review of Hancock DVD by kingfisher111

Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: none

...lot of good things about Hancock and I generally like Will Smith in most of the things that he does so this was the film we chose. I am obviously only going to talk about the film because as far as I know the DVD is not out yet. Hancock is a film that fits into a number of different categories. At times it is very funny so it could be termed a comedy. It also is a fantasy type film featuring superheroes with super powers and there's also a little ...
...everyone is fed up with Hancock and they don't want the hapless superhero around. There is one person who believes in Hancock though and that is Ray Embrey (played by Jason bateman), a PR executive who is down on his luck. He sets about working with Hancock to change his image, although his wife Mary (Charlize Theron) is not so sure, and this aspect of the film is very funny and engaging. Strangely, about half way through the film changes it's ... Read review

Hancock .. a@#hole
Review of Hancock DVD by danmclovin

Advantages: Very funny, good special effects!
Disadvantages: A little on the short side!

...The movie centers on John Hancock (Will Smith), a superhero like no other. Hancock lives out of his trailer, and spends his days drinking and sleeping on the city's streets. When Hancock does decide to help the LAPD fight crime, he seems to cause more damage to the city than the criminals themselves, thanks to his carelesness. After his latest crimefighting mishap, the city and people of Los Angeles have had enough, and a warrant for his arrest is ...
...him. Ray decides to help Hancock turn over a new leaf. He wants to help Hancock improve his ailing attitude, and to win over the hearts of the public. Hancock faces some major changes in his life, as he also finds out some unexpected news about his past, and faces up to criminals who are out to kill him. I thought that Hancock was a really good film. It wasn't the best film I've seen, but I thought it was very enjoyable. Will Smith is his usual ... Read review

Will Smith IS Hancock
Review of Hancock DVD by migitaldave

Advantages: Great film all round!
Disadvantages: Some minor plot issues

...so the film starts with Hancock (Will Smith) sleeping on a bench on the side of the street obviously late into the morning, giving the appearance of a common bum or tramp. He is awakened by a young boy who is trying to show him the news in a shop window of a police chase taking part through the city, Hancock takes out his bottle of liquor, explodes off into the skies, and flies to the scene. It's pretty obvious at this point that he is well known ...
...It becomes very apparent that Hancock is a very clumsy and disregardful, all in all very bad superhero - if you could even call him that. Solving the police chase aforementioned, Hancock displays his ability to fly and his bullet-proof skin - he is immortal. But this doesn't stop him from losing his temper horribly, placing the criminals' car on the spire of an incredibly tall building and causing $ 9 million worth of damage. Good intentions don't ...

Will Smith breaks the cycle with Hancock.
Review of Hancock DVD by demonbarak

Advantages: Hilarious in places
Disadvantages: mood jumps too often

...who haven't seen it yet. Hancock is a drunk, who has serious anger problems. We first meet him sleeping on a bench, being woken up by a kid who is trying to point out the police chase on the tv. Hancock grabs a bottle of booze and sets off to sort things out. In a seriously incompetent way. As the film progresses, we find out about Hancocks past, his super-hero weakness, and what happens when he sneezes. Well, not really on the last part... The ...
...Will Smith ... John Hancock Charlize Theron ... Mary Embrey Jason Bateman ... Ray Embrey Jae Head ... Aaron Embrey Overall Quite impressed with this film - as I said earlier, much much better than I am Foot. Its not quite sure what its trying to be - a romance, a comedy, a superhero film... Had it made the determination, it'd be a 5* film easily. Its well acted, fairly well scripted and the camerawork is fantastic mostly. Pretty much a decent film ... Read review

A different hero
Review of Hancock DVD by  mozzie76

Advantages: Smith is good as Hancock
Disadvantages: Strange twist in story

...Hancock is a film about a superhero called Hancock who is not your typical hero. He is an alcoholic, obnoxious and layabout man. He would rather sit back and have a drink than perform superhero duties. Will Smith plays Hancock and does really well at playing the out of favour hero. Jason Bateman is the public relations professional Ray Embrey, who attempts to help Hancock improve his image and win the love and adoration of the public. Charlize Theron is Mary, the wife of Ray, who has a dubious relationship with Hancock. I found this an interesting film, which explores what happens when you have a superhero who does not care about the respect of the public and does what he wants to do. I thought Will Smith did really well and liked this film. However I thought the twist at the end of the film was almost like an add on to a film... Read review

HANCOCK - Will Smith is Hancock !
Review of Hancock DVD by  Maximus-Qualitus

Advantages: Superb Film.
Disadvantages: None

...HANCOCK. ******** Introduction: ********** The film starts with a police car chase and Hancock drunkenly snoring on a street side bench! He "HELPS" the police to catch the bad guys but when the bad guys break his wine bottle he gets mad, very mad! Synopsis: ******* His help costs the city a fortune in damages; they would rather this hero stayed drunk and kept away from helping them. This is a great twist on the usual predictable super hero film and Will Smith is fantastic to watch as he bungles his way through his' couldn't care less' life. The special effects in the first ten minutes are wonderful to see and set the tone for the movie. Hancock really just doesn't care about anything or about himself. Then he meets Ray, Ray turns his life around. He makes Hancock into a real superhero that people can appreciate When people upset... Read review

John Hancock
Review of Hancock DVD by  rob1001

Advantages: Great twist on super heros
Disadvantages: Not jaw dropping

...This was a movie that for a long time didnt really have any hype. No-one knew too much about it. When you went to the cinema there was simply mysterious movi posters with Will Smiths face on like the picture featured on dooyoo. When I first saw the trailer I was amazed, I really didnt think Will Smith would do anything like this. To be honest I had never pictured him as a super hero. He, for me, suits his comedic good guy role as seen in the Men in Black movies. Obviously he is a good enough actor to do roles such as Ali and Pursuit of Happiness and I believe he desrved oscar nomination for these roles. However I much prefer his comedic performances. In this movie he is funny, there is just a twist to it : Story - Hancock is a superhero like no other, because he is always drunk! Dont get me wrong he does save the day, it just would...
