Hancock review

What I loved most: The story and antihero super hero

What I really hated: not enough backstory

I like how for once there is a super hero with no contending evil to put up with. I also like how it goes through the stress of the public - he didn't do something perfectly and he is criticized. He saves a man's life and the people around criticize his method. All in all good story, could use a bit more backstory, excellent acting okay direction, amazing visuals.

Not so good job superhero movie

What I loved most: The film's attempt of trying to be different

What I really hated: Will Smith's attempt of trying to be a superhero

Jumping on the bandagon of this summer's superhero movies, Hancok is a superhero film with a different. For a start, Hancok (WILL SMITH) himself is a superhero with bad image and reputation - he is an alcoholic, homeless and would caused damage to public properties that would overshadows all his heroic deed. Looks like everybody in LA loves to hate him until he re-branded himself with the help of a PR executive Ray Embrey (JASON BATEMAN) who is indebted to him for saving his life. However, when he was introduced to Ray's wife Mary (CHARLIZE THERON), his new found fame and life is in danger since there's something about Mary that nobody knows. Unlike other big budget superhero movies, Hancock is quite simple and pale in comparison to the others. Nevertheless, some of the film's CGI effect are jaw dropping and memorable. There are also the occasional feel good and laughing moments, thanks to Will Smith for his antic. It is such a waste to caste Academy award winner Charlize Theron in this film since her presence does not have much impact - her role can always be given to any budding actress and not necessarily to an A List actress like her. However, both Smith and Theron has the right on screen chemistry when their role getting romantic to each other. If you are a superhero movie fan, you might be dissapointed with Hancock - it is a not so good job superhero film but still OK.

The Best Movie I've Ever Seen

What I loved most: About Will Smith's Part

What I really hated: Nothing

This is the best movie I have ever seen and maybe, I won't ever forget it. And the best part of it, it was my birthday present from my parents. I was so very happy. The story was unbelievable, it was so funny that made my stomach ached and tears came out of my eyes. Sorry, let me make my sentence shorter and easier to understand. It means "I LAUGH UNTIL MY SIDES SPLIT"! Sorry, again, now back to the story movie. You know, one of the part I felt like crying, but I didn't. That was the saddest part of the movie, like the rest of the movie, well like I said before, it was so very funny! :)
