Product Description
Caustic and out of favor with the public, a superhero enlists a publicist to reshape his image.

Amazon.com
Hancock turns the standard superhero movie inside-out: The title character (Will Smith) can fly, has superstrength, and is invulnerable, but he's also a sloppy, alcoholic jerk who causes millions of dollars in property damage whenever he bothers to fight crime. When he saves the life of a public-relations agent named Ray (Jason Bateman, Arrested Development), Ray decides to improve Hancock's image--starting by having Hancock surrender himself to the authorities and go to prison for his lawless behavior. The idea is that once he's in prison, the crime rate will go up, and people will start to realize Hancock might be of value after all. This is only the first act of Hancock--from there, the movie takes several clever turns that shouldn't be revealed. Hancock isn't a great movie (among other things, director Peter Berg overuses close-ups with a hand-held camera to a degree that may cause motion sickness), but it is an extremely entertaining one. The script, which holds together far better than most superhero movies, has a propulsive plot, good dialogue, some compassion for its characters, and even an actual idea or two. The spectacular action at least gestures towards obeying the laws of physics, which actually makes the special effects more vivid. The three leads (Smith, Bateman, and Charlize Theron as Ray's wife, Mary) deftly balance the movie's mixture of comedy, action, and drama. All in all, a smart subversive twist on a genre that all too often takes itself all too seriously. --Bret Fetzer

3 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the original! 3 for the unrated...   July 7, 2010
Juanita (Philadelphia, PA)
I enjoyed the original theatrical version of Hancock. I was disappointed when I purchased the unrated version, and the scene that was added in that made it "unrated," and the part turned the movie around for me completely, so I could not watch it with my little sister! If I could've taken it back at that point for the original version, then I most definitely would've. I have yet to watch it again. Other than that, the original movie has like 5 stars from me!


5 out of 5 stars Not Your Father's Superhero   May 25, 2010
Orion E. Hubbard (Portland, Oregon United States)
If you like superhero films like the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, or any of the other Marvel ilk then don't buy Hancock.

This movie has a tremendous amount of humor-- how many other superheroes do you know of that gets sued and arrested for all the damage that gets caused by crime fighting? And Hancock does do a lot of damage; sometimes it seems, just for the hell of it.

But the biggest difference-- the one that a lot of people who are fond of mindless superhero origins-- is that Hancock's background is both unique and touching, so we not only have a superhero but also something of a tragic hero. In this movie, the hero doesn't get the girl, but in this case, that's a good thing. Hancock is the superhero, but his pal Ray is subtly heroic in his own way and that adds a bit of pathos not usually found in movies of this type, yet it all works out in the end.

This is a darn good movie, though badly underrated by people stuck in the Marvel mold who can't think outside the box. If you want a superhero movie that goes beyond the usual tripe, you really should see this one. Trust me, you'll love it. :-)
