John Hancock is kicking your ass

Saw this yesterday with Keith, WaM, and As7.
I actually liked it a lot. Dunno why it got such poor ratings.
Anyone else seen it? Did you also enjoy the drunk dude who beat people up?
Let's talk about it!

    It looks interesting, but as I have tons of movies this summer that I want to see more I will probably pick it up on DVD.

    That's a terrible picture of him. I mean, I know he looks awful right now, but he doesn't always look THAT bad

    Interesting movie. Not at all what I expected (Will Smith in a funny super hero parody), but still very enjoyable.

    I hope it does well enough for there to be a sequel. There is a lot of fertile ground for them to explore with this story.

    I am possibly seeing this tonight. It is a decision between this and Wanted.
    Should I pick Hancock [y/n]

    Depends on what you are in the mood for. Do you want to see an awesome action flick or do you want to se Will Smith hang around and be awesome and also fly.

    I think Will Smith is always the answer, but it's up to you.

    This movie gave me exactly what I wanted. Will Smith flying around, drinking, and occasionally doing feats of superheroism. It also threw a nice twist in that a lot of people just aren't going to expect (and I understand why many would hate it).

    I give Hancock a B+.

    I didn't like the route the movie took after the bank scene. The ending was weak to me too.

    With that said I enjoyed all of the action scenes. It had some good laughs in it as well. Especially the prison scene. Smith played a pretty good depressed drunk guy.

    They pretty much clob you over the head with the "twist" within the first 10 minutes

    This script was originally titled "Tonight, He Comes" and was about Hancock trying have an affair with the wife character while not killing prostitutes with super-jizz.

    I think that would have made a better movie.

    In regards to the "twist":
    I can see people picking up that Theron had some kind of relationship will Smith before this. Both of them being some kind of immortal Gods/Angels/Aliens/? with superpowers isn't exactly apparent until it is shown. To me at least.

    They clobber you over the head with the fact that
    Charlize Theron's character knows Hancock.

    If I hadn't known the twist going in, I simply would have thought he had fucked her a few years back or something.

    The real 'R' version of this movie is going to be so much better.

    I did enjoy the theater version but it wasn't all that I had hoped for.

    On the plus side:
    Will Smith WILL NOT PHONE HIS PERFORMANCES IN EVER, BITCHES.

    I understood what the French kid was saying better than the bank-robber though. I think I understood like every third word he said in the hospital sequence.

    You know....
    Jason Bateman's character running at a guy with a fire-ax, while the sprinklers are running, honestly seemed like something that could have happened in Arrested Development. I was thinking that the whole time. 'Way to lose your cool there, Michael.'

    It should be about the revolutionary war era Hancock, fighting crime and stuff. Getting shot by Aaron Burr because he knows his weakness, malt liquor and hookers.
