The first half of this movie is an absoloute masterpiece. Hilarious. The second half is rather confusing though, thanks to the plot twist. Still, you should watch it.

This movie is (alittle) different (in a good way) and funny, but the unrated version with the additional scenes is better, that being said(or in this case, written), where is the unrated version??? Bring it back. Thanks. The extra footage adds more flavor and entertainment to the movie.

This movie is great, fun, entertaining, exciting, and awesome. I love this movie a lot. Will Smith is great in it. I love Will Smiths super powers in it. Will Smith is one of my all time favorite actors ever. It is one of my all time favorite super hero movies ever.

Hancock is really not that funny

But the train sene is damned serious

It took me a while to see this movie, and I didn't quite know what to expect from the reviews and ratings it received. I was also wary of the supposed plot twist that ruined the movie for quite a few people. I'm a big fan of superhero movies, and judging from the trailers, it didn't look like any superhero movie I've seen before. So, how did it turn out in the end?

Actually, pretty well. I liked the interesting angle that the film took when looking at superhero movies. Like in Iron Man (one of my favorite movies of all time), the hero doesn't start out as the heroic type. However, Will Smith prefers to play his character with a more bitter and depressed edge to him, rather than Downey's confident and cool style. Both approaches work well, and Smith gives Hancock a surprising amount of depth, when others might have made him shallow.

The plot twist in the third act was undeniably strange. I mean, of all the superhero origin stories, this one is probably the weirdest. Also, it is just plain hard to follow. Does this would break the movie, then? Actually, no.

The story doesn't require that you know every detail of its twist to keep moving forward with the story. And from there, one of my greatest compliments to the movie sees us through: the performances of Smith, Theron, and Bateman. All of them react to the twist in very relatable and well-acted ways. Without those actors in their roles, the twist would have failed miserably.

One of my bigger problems with the film is that its villain is weak. He was kind of shoe-horned into the movie, and I come to expect more from superhero villains than what was given. Also, there were some moments that I thought were too wrong for the movie. They added to the irreverence of Smith's character, but I didn't like them personally.

In the end, it's the performances of Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Jason Bateman that keep this movie out of mediocrity. The movie is worth seeing for their acting alone. Not to say that's the only good thing about it, though. It's funny, it's unique, and it is well worth at least one viewing. Four stars for Hancock, and here's to the sequel that is soon to come!

This movie is awesome because its a action-comedy,and has Will Smith in it!!!

Why can't you rent this movie?

I absolutely love this movie. Will Smith is an amazing actor,and I can watch this movie over and over.

I was just looking around for movies when this movie, Hancock caught my eye. I watched the preview and it looked pretty good. My parents said it sucked but I decided to buy it anyway. This movie was awesome. It had a tad of romance, action, and comedy. I can't wait for the sequel in 2014.

Very fun

Will Smith at his best, great editing and flying scenes, I felt like it was real, and can't wait for the 2nd to come out in 2014! :D :D :D

This movie is awesome

It is very awesome and sweet

With the exception of Maverick, Will Smith can do no wrong! It has it all... action, humor, drama, funny, great effects and a really interesting story line.

This is no Batman or Superman or Spiderman. This is a whole new kind of hero that has a temper and can do almost anything by flying and power. I am a big Will Smith fan. Great movie!

Charlize Theron and Will Smith never disappoint. Both are my favorite actors and this movie is one of my favs. Herd there is going to be a "Handcock 2". If so can't wait!!!!

Freakin awesome

I was expecting this movie to be awesome and was so disappointed. Will Smith is better than this. It was cheap and cheesy.

great movie so FUNNY!!!

Fantastic movie, lots of laughs and a new take on the super hero genre that was needed. Unfortunately iTunes messed up on the description when revealing Theron's part in it. They should've kept that part out and let ya see it on your own.

If you think this movie is anything but amazingly awesome you can lick the cheese from under my nuts! It's hilarious and awesome

I thought that this movie was great. I think it has a realistic take on people with super powers. I mean, if you had super powers and the whole world knew it, would you be the perfect noble person with a handle on everything, or crack under the pressure and ridicule of others while attempting to please everyone? This was a fresh take on the super life. Yet another great Will Smith movie.

Nicely done movie. Will Smith nails it. I laughed more at this film than any other in a year.

U watched this when I was 8 and loved it

It's not a great movie. It's uneven and too loud at times. But it's fun. It's fun, it's funny & smart, it's exciting, and it's also a sweet romance story. Hancock works on many levels. It's flawed fun.

Hancock is one hell of a movie. I'm not sure why it has gotten some bad reviews, but it's a great movie. Any will smith fan, or simply action/ super hero fan will love it.

This is one of the best movies out there. Hancock's attitude mixed with his powers makes this movie the best there can be. My rating: the awesomeness.

It needs to be rentable already, but other wise it was sooooo good

Awesome

I didn't buy it but I saw it with my brothers and I loved it so did they best movie eva!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok people might hate this but it's the best movie

Couldve been alot better

Will smith is great and this movie is better

It was just ok.

The movie is so different from anything else I've seen. The first time I saw it, I was bored out of my mind, and I couldn't stand any of the characters.

Then, about 3/4 of the way through, something clicked, and I suddenly felt as if the world of the movie finally connected with its characters--or, perhaps, they more with the world.

Whatever the case, I watched it again this summer after not having seen it since it came out, and I just love it. I love the characters, the plot, the follow-through, the overall idea and left-to-the-imagination-history of the "superheroes" etc.

It's just really different, but full of the familiar themes of love, loss, family, humanity, and, of course, finding your place in the world.

I bought it recently and recommend it to anyone who likes a change-up in their super-hero-drama films...

The critics dont know anything. this is a fun, fresh superhero movie.

That movie is so

awesome!!!!!!!

saw it tonight. i was laughing the whole time.

This movie, one of Will Smith's best, is funny, suspenseful, and just plain powerful. Definitely is worth $18.00 for HD. When you buy this movie, don't get freaked out about the widescreen if you like full screen, just double tap. The picture quality is still excellent in full screen. This brilliant picture demonstrates love, pain, and the pressure to be liked by thousands (with some great humor mixed in). Without hesitation, this motion picture deserves five stars.

I thought this was great. Even the twist, which some people didn't like. This movie was easy to follow, the characters were good, and I thought the twist was different from what I've seen before.

No need for anymore words

Best movie ever

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! <3 i was hooked from the very beginning! :D

This certainly wasn't the movie I expected, but that's not a bad thing. Great movie with a great feel, and some good laughs. Will Smith rocks!

good action but terrible story line terrible

I love how they incorporated the public like they did in the dark knight and how he wasnt wearing a stupid outfit at least half of the movie. Funny, outrageous, and pure action and entertainment

This movie was good! The flying is a little sketchy and the acting was pretty good but could have been better. " well you should sue mcDonalds cause they f---ed you up. Hilarious!!!

Hilariously funny!

This movie sucked. I wouldn't watch it again if you paid me...really bad movie. The story was stupid, the acting sucked and the best effects were in the preview. Save your cash and just watch the preview, you see the best parts of the movie there.

This is such a awesome movie I want to see it a hundred times I love this movie who argreas with me.

well, this is the only Will Smith movie i dislike

well it was better than alvin and the chipmunks. I think?

Let me start out by saying that I love Will Smith and believe he is a great actor. Hancock was a different kind of movie. Instead of the typical good, brave, dedicated superhero he is a drunk with incredible powers but many character flaws. It was an interesting movie, and it kept my attention, but it could have been done better. The whole drunk lazy superhero idea was brilliant, but I felt the script could have been much better. The plot was also strange, with several unexpected turns that left me more baffled than awed. All in all, its worth a watch, but don't expect anything spectacular.

Will Smith is awsome people! This movie is funny, even though it's not supposed to be, it's Will Smith's way of making movies. He was perfect for this movie. This movie had a great cast, only because of Will! This movie is Will's kick off for a while! Go Will!

Good movie, don't expect too much, just a nice thing to see. Funny concept. Exactly what you would expect, nothing more.

Good Movie, Will Smith has a track record of making good movies. I cannot recall a movie that was bad, nothing even close to snakes on a plane. This movie is no different, great action, great comedy. It leaves you waiting for the sequel. Worth Purchasing.

So Peter Berg was the hook for me, based on Collateral and The Kingdom, and although they're different genres THEY were great movies. I like Will Smith too and thought I'd give this a spin. Needless to say when our Will started flying in the first ten minutes I thought the Producers had hired the special effects crew from the magic carpet ride in Vegas. My disappointment was amplified by the really weak script held together by too much CGI! As Jason Bateman was again typecast I can only surmise he managed to get Peter Berg mashed up on tequila one night and convinced him his 'buddies' script would be an awesome next project. But what do I know, this nonsense proves once again that cleaning up at the box office is a simple formula! I laughed once, at the disbelief I'd just sat through it. The one star is for Charlize Theron, overqualified talent for this. Must have been a slow week for their agents when this was pitched.

I really enjoyed hancock. yet it does depend of who youare to like this movie, so rent first.

noww im not no movie critic but id havee to give this movie 5 stars!! come on ppl its will smith nd does he everr let youu down? he is one of the best actors out there andd if you dont think so then obviouslyy you have not seen 'i am legend' thats also another great movie of his. ive been surprised at everyy movie ive seen of his to see how great it is when others say its not that great, haa yeaahh rightt! put yees if youu agree!! (by the wayy id have too say for this review too be written by a teenn its pertyy good =]

Seriously how can people gave this movie 4 or 5 stars??! This movie is so stupid , the story doesnt make any sense. It seems like 13 years old wrote the script and director happened to like it. And you don't actually need Will Smith to play this role neither. Hollywood just try to milk the big name so people can watch this garbage. Give me my money back !

this movie is boring and it the action is terrible

Well done, and some good points. But the story is just so impossible towards the end.

This is the worst film i have ever seen. it was an awful plot with an awful ending. Wonderful cast thrown into atrocious roles.

This was horrible. I really can't understand the positive reviews. And I LOVE Will Smith. Waste of money to even rent.

not really god

Once again, Will Smith doesn't dissapoint here in a superior performance as the superhero "Hancock".

While this film might have a lot of cussing and brief sexual content, it still stands tall as a great piece of filmaking. Peter Berg shows off his skills and really gets the job done. This movie grossed a little over 400 million in the box office and goes down in the top 50 highest grossed movies of all time. Yeah, it surprised me to.

PLOT: Hancock is a "beat up, drunken" supposed superhero who usually gets the job done but along with it, a lot of destruction comes with him fighting criminals. So the city is fed up with Hancock and really dissowns him so Jason Bateman's character sees the broken down Hancock and decides to give him a hand. He changes the superhero's appearence and get's Hancock's life back in order. Hancock then fights criminals the RIGHT way. (watch this film to get the rest of the story....)

SYNOPSIS: Overall, "Hancock" was what I thought it was going end up being. Yes, this definitly isn't Smith's best performance, but he delivers. This is worth renting and anyone who likes superhero movies... this one's a stretch.

I love Wil Smith but...an alcoholic superhero? Not a very good role model for the kids, is it?

Started out good but as soon as the woman's identity is revealed it takes a huge u-turn into boringville and parks there in the mud.

I am not one to write reviews, this is actually my first, but if you have any love for film or respect for your own brain I would advise you to never watch this movie. Thank you.

It is the best movie yet till his next movie.

It's a good, action packed, movie.

I have to agree with a few people that the ending wasn't the best one they could have done, and was actually a little corny, but that aside it was enjoyable.

It really delves into human emotion and the need for someone to just care about you as well as the need to sacrifice for the ones you care about even if it is hard to do.

Definitely worth watching.

There hasn't been a single movie Will Smith has made that I haven''t liked. He's a talented actor. He's as talented as other top notch actors, like Sylvester Stallone or Johnny Depp. And this movie is up there with his greatests. Way to go Will! Keep em' comin'!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I am shocked at the other reviews. Don't bother.

Somewhat corny; However, I like corn. This was a great movie to see once. Hancock was well worth the money. I was very entertained throughout the whole picture.

I watched this movie twice in theaters, and each time I was amazed, humoured and awed. This is one of the funniest, most interesting movies I have seen in a while. I didn't care much for the language in it, even though the usage was sometimes hilarious (e.g., the "You should sue McDonalds" scene), but apart from that, Hancock was a delightfully entertaining experience. Don't reccommend it for younger viewers, however, as there is a lot of usage of the S word, and some other vulgar speech, and some parts that would be frightening to younger ones.

Five stars. Kick it!

This is an awesome movie!

The movie is great and funny! It is worth the $15. Will Smith is the best!

I'm a HUGE fan of Will Smith. Now that you know that, read the review. This movie was weird. The first half was pretty good but then it gets weird. You will watch it and enjoy it. As soon as you say "Well, maybe this will be good!" it stumbles and does something stupid. This movie basically is falling apart throughout. It can't decide if it wants to be a comedy or a serious movie. The movie just falls apart with it's plot holes and other issues. I can't get into them without spoiling the movie eiether. In the middle of the movie, they start to share secrets that make no sense and the movie just falls apart. The "bad guy" was horrible. He just shows up in the middle but then he is supposed to be the big bad guy! On the positive side, Will Smith is awesome and his acting is great in the movie and the action was cool. If the movie just didn't have the plot holes, stupid bad guy and a consistant plot, this would have been a really cool movie!

I was very excited to finally see this movie and I was not disappointed. All I knew about the movie from the trailers is that the main character, Hancock, had super powers, but he was a hot mess of a hero. I was very surprised to learn about how he wound up that way, why, and observe the change he went through to be a better hero. The entire movie kept my interest and made me laugh numerous times. I am so glad to have purchased this movie and I plan to watch it and recommend it to others.

i was really excited for this will smith superhero movie. i had never seen a bad will smith movie... until this. i mean, the first hour or so was entertaining and fun... but then (SPOILER ALERT) when you found out that like, the mom was a superhero or something... wow. i almost left the theater. it was just.... ARGHH. if i were you i would rent it, watch the first hour or so (and maybe finish it if you're curious to see how corny/stupid/disgraceful it is). NOT WORTH BUYING (i hope itunes doesn't reject this review :P)

Hancock was an awesome experience and i loved every single minute of this film. Peter berg is an awesome director and his vison is unique and unlike anyone else today. Hancock was fun, action packed, hilarious, and has an ending i wont give away. This movie rocked!

This is one of the best action / hero movies in a long, long time. It's downfall was that this movie suffered from misguided marketing. The campaign was for a movie that didn't exist. Funny ex-super hero hits the bottle and has to be dragged back into the buisness of saving the human race. Whoo-ha. hat Will Smith gets me every time!

Now if you appreciate good action storytelling, this movie is FOR YOU. Hancocok is a thinking man's action movie. Why is Hancock such a stick in the mud? What's with the touchy feely PR guy? WHY is Charleze Theron in this movie?

Rent it, but it...but by all means watch HANCOCK and find out.

Its somewhat hard to believe that Will Smith was once a rapper, not to be biast, but its amazing that the man he once was turned from a rapper, to a hit T.V. star, to now one of the best actors alive. This as well many other of his movies such as: "The Pursuit of Happyness" & "I Am Legend" are amazingly well done movies with terrific acting from Will Smith in both parts. Its phenominal that he can be a great comedy actor, but is fit for serious roles as well. This is a definet buy. 5 stars all the way, maybe 4.5 truthfully, but im a bit to harsh, its still a great comedy and action movie with great acting as well. I look forward to his new movie "7 Pounds" It looks quite promising and i expect nothing short but greatness from him and hopefully he will geat an award for best actor. One can only wait and see.

I saw this movie in the theaters this summer and i loved it!!! clik yes if you agree

Hancock is the anti-superhero. He's had these super powers thrust upon him, and he'd really rather not be bothered. He's a mean, nasty, surly version of Superman, without the cape. He drinks whiskey while he flies. He destroys buildings at will. He curses at people who stare at him. Hilarious! He does all of the things you'd never expect a superhero to do, and it's hysterical!

Was it me, or did this movie feel like it was about half an hour? It ended seemingly before it even had time to establish conflict. I guess that isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it kept me thoroughly entertained throughout. At first, it is hilarious and action-filled, keeping you giggling at the edge of your seat. However, towards the end, Hancock gets exceedingly Kafkaesque (look it up) and a little unclear, in terms of what exactly is happening, or why it is happening. I somehow found no moral to this story at all, but i still found it a suspenseful, yet enjoyable movie. Hey, who doesn't like Will Smith, or Charlize Theron for that matter?

Yes, Hancock is definitely a movie you should watch. Why, then, did I give it three stars? Because the first half of the movie is amazing. You're ready to just keel over at how cool and funny the movie is, and the concept of a not-so-wannabe superhero is great. Thing is, you get about halfway through, the plot twist hits, and you're ready to cry at how much the movie stinks from then on. It's like someone else is writing it!

So: Watch it, enjoy the first half, leave with a dissatisfied taste in your mouth.

The twist that occurred about half way in the movie killed it.

The movie had some real potential with it's first half. It was funny and filled with action.

Then "the secret" is revealed and then nothing makes sense or of any logic. A completely random thing is pulled out of nowhere from the desperate director to make things "edgy".

Well, it ruins the plot and destroys the movie.

i saw this over the summer with my friend and we both thought it was hilarious! Will Smith did a great job!

the whole plot of this movie was lame. Everything happened waaay too fast with waaaay too many twists and turns. Will Smith was great, but the movie was less than good.

THE BOMB OF ALL MOVIES!!! Hilourious best comedy movie ive seen!

put yes if u agree with me ppl.

if u do....ur awesome :P

Good, but nothing special. Funny, but no more so than your average action movie. It's no Dark Knight.

This movie is awsome!!! Don't listen to the others, any movie with Will Smith is good. Best actor and movie i've seen besides i am legand.

hancock is one of my favorite movies of all time. very good acting by will smith to

Paricularly, I love Will Smith, and a majority of his movies. This movie, taking a side trip from the regular cliche superhero, exposes the flaws of the character, introducing to the audience a rarely seen side of the superhero genre.

In general, this movie was....okay. Good enough to watch, but not necessary to purchase. I'd suggest renting this before hand, it does have some clever comical moments, but in parts the plot seemed to lack. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I felt empty handed once it ended.

No. It is not about R&B legend Herbie Hancock, neither the person who killed honest abe, nor the movie producer. It is about not-your-neighborhood-friendly abused Drunk Superhero John Hancock. It is not what the trailer says it is. There is only one laugh in the whole movie - when foreign terrorists think hancock is rapper SOULJA BOY TELL EM.

This film is graphic, boring, violent, bloody, and depressing. Sorry lovers of this film, but this movie is just another trash can boxoffice topper.

Does he ever make a bad movie?

He might not always knock your socks off,

but I bet you will be entertaind for a couple of hours.

Hancock is a pretty good movie with ALOT of bad language

During the summer, while I was in Virginia, my sister and I saw Hancock, and it was hilarious! Hancock is not just a action movie, but it's also a comedy. So, BUY IT!

I had watched this movie the 1st day it had came out a plethora of action with a jaw dropping twist, I can give it credit for that but, if you're looking for a Spiderman, X-men type of movie it's not 4 u.

This is one of the best movies of 2008!!!!

Will Smith has once again proven to us that he is a great actor.
