Quite disappointed with this film, as I expected a "proper" superhero story. There're no real BIG BAD villain showdowns. In fact, the so-called "villains" are pathetic.
It also isn't a comedy. The funniest scene I can pick out is a scene in prison, when the superhero does something gross but hilarious with two immates who try to intimidate him.
So if it isn't balls-out action or comedy, what film is this? Well, it's a lame story about amnesia, which only becomes obvious in the last act of the film.
The only positive draw of this film is Charliez Theron who looks so sexy and babelicious.

Not worth watching after the interesting first half.

Hancock is getting a lot of undeserved criticism. Is it a perfect film? No. But is it a mess, or even the massive disappoinment it's been made out to be? Not at all.
Hancock is a movie that tries to tell too much story, and ends up telling too little. I've heard it said that this film feels like all setup (similar to my comments about Jumper). But I believe differently in this case. I think if it was hoped…

This is reasonably good fun. The CG is ageing a bit but its original enough to keep the interest.

I've already got a review of Hancock on Letterboxd, but having watched it for the third time, I felt like I better post an up-to-date summary of my opinion as it has changed somewhat.
I still think Hancock is definitely a film of two halves welded together. It starts off really well as Will Smith plays a homeless, alcoholic superhero who everybody hates for all the collateral damage he causes very convincingly and with oodles of charisma. He finds a…

Gostei muito. Achei totalmente diferente de todas as histórias que já havia visto. É puramente original! Recomendo.

This movie, like most people say, has two parts: the great first half and the predictable and improbable second half. The first half had good action, just the right amount of comedy, and some great acting. The second half had plot that was agonizing (We have to stay apart!) and the ending and the whole

thing was just ridiculously obvious throughout the entire first half of the film and was not surprising in the least. Fortunately, Charlize Theron's hotness makes up for that part. So all together, it's worth a viewing or rental. -
I love Will Smith in this film, but Jason Bateman is the main reason that this film is so good. This is also the sole reason that Peter Berg is able to eek by as a so-called director.

Some truly awesome action but a razor thin story that loses its way in the second half. Smith obviously just mailed this one in – just not real appealing. I will watch Bateman in anything and he’s great in this one.
-
Interesting idea with the alcoholic superhero, but this absolutely could have took more chances. The twist is so dumb, and really doesn't do the movie any favours. It's kinda cool to see Will Smith fly, though.
