it was better than i expected, i didnt really mind the twist but at the same time it was kinda stupid. I will never except Hancock as a true hero movie, it takes itself too seriously, but i still liked it

I have to disagree with you. I enjoyed the film quite a bit…even the so-called twist. Throught it was a very decent film…

The first 30 mins of Hancock are possibly the best superhero movie opening I have seen. It starts perfectly, sets everything up, and then screws everything it has achieved. DO NOT WATCH THE SECOND HALF! Stop, take out the DVD.

Oh, and I have read ‘Tonight, He Comes’, and Hancock has almost nothing in common with that script.

I will probably buy the DVD and never watch past the Bank scene. EVER.

I thought it was boring. It was just like I expected, a vehicle for Will Smith to play the same damn character he plays in every film, except this time he’s a drunk and a superhero. Same delivery, and same attitude as practically every other Will Smith character. Smith is given way too much credit as an actor. He never plays “characters”, he just acts the same in different outlandish situations. No different from how Will Ferrel or Adam Sandler do that in virtually all their films. But while I largely enjoy Ferrel and Sandler, I’d never call them great actors either.

Hancock sucked. It was a way for Smith to cash in on the Superhero film craze, but without him having to play second fiddle to a pre-existing character. It was boring, predictable, and couldn’t decide if it was a comedy or a drama and ended up failing at both as a result.

Sadly, I expected all of this before I saw it, but went against my better judgment. I wish I had your resolve Doug. Stick with your gut instinct, and don’t waste your time.

Doug, Thanks for the reply. At least you responded to my post with respect when answering my critisms. Rodney, deletes posts that critisize him. Not cool. Anyway, watch the fucking film, its not half bad.

well i know that the film was originaly rated R so releasing it with an unrated version makes since because the director would want people to see what he wanted the movie to be in the first place

***Spoiler***
The DVD and Blu-Ray is already out in Australia. I watched the Blu-Ray “Unrated” version the other day and it’s exactly the same as the theatrical version, except for one LONG scene that’s been added about 15 mins in, where our hero(?) takes a groupie back to his trailer. It’s an overlong scene that was cut for obvious reasons. It doesn’t add anything to the movie, so don’t get your hopes up that there is some wonderful, hardcore, dark and brooding version of this film out there that is dramatically different to the theatrical cut. It’s just another marking ploy to milk more money for DVD sales. Sorry if this disappoints any of you out there :-(
