    This one still has its loner feel to it due to (SPOILER)him believing he is the only one of his kind and haveing amnesia and not knowing anything of his past. So, its still on that level in a sense.

    I'd give it better than that. He plays the role of an asshole almost perfectly. (SPOILER)Call me asshole just one more time!!!! LOL. I mean, it wasn't your typical super hero movie, but more of a character change and that was what made it really enjoyable for me.

    Will Smith's superb acting didn't carry the whole film, one amazing character didn't save Iron Man either. It wasn't supposed to be your typical superhero movie, it was supposed to be very satirical, something it really lost at the second half.

    Maybe a three would be more fitting, but the point remains the same.

    It was pretty good, but not something I would see again, except on Starz or something.

    Did you just say "save Iron Man"? Iron Man needed saving?!

    How do you know Hancock was supposed to be satirical? You the director? I didn't lose anything in the second half, it just didn't go the way most people expected it to. And we all know people don't like to be surprised; everyone wants the same old predictable stuff over and over so they can go "omg yay story time."

    From shoddy pacing and a poor final fight scene, yes.

    Also, I've read from multiple places that it was supposed to be satire on the superhero movie, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I don't mind plot twists at all, but I didn't like the one in Hancock at all. (SPOILER)lol we r anglez. If the twist was handled better and wasn't the completely abrupt change in tone it couldn't recover from, it really could have been a great film. I have no problem with unpredictably, but not unpredictably for the sake of it. =/ That's just me though, glad to see you enjoyed it.

    What is this "Will Smith is a Scientologist" nonsense?

    it was alright, enjoyable cause will smith was in it i guess if i known it would be like this i would of rented it, all in all the plot was very basic and there needed to be a tiny tiny bit more action would of been fine

    I would probably go play video games or have sex (the usual) - Nominus Experse

    my mom would be like "ve? yo te dije, el internet no es bueno."

    Anyway, I wanna see it. Will Smith's improves with every film he does, it seems. But I'll just buy it.

    Hmm....£5 to watch it once in the cinema....£5 to buy it on DVD...hmmmmm...
    No it's isn't. It's an original movie. Originally it was called Tonight, He Comes, back in 1996. But studios just passed it around for 10 years until Peter Berg took hold of it in 2006.

    I enjoyed it. Though the ending was a typical super hero ending.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I must say, I was certainly surprised by the twist. I thought it was obvious that something was going to happen between Hancock and (SPOILER)the guy's wife whose name evades me at the moment, due to the way there was constant emphasis on either her disapproving or just failing to be impressed. I thought it was a pretty neat plot twist. Having said that, I do think that I probably preferred the first half. However, I thought the film was hilarious in parts and well worth going to see at the cinema. I mean come on, Will Smith getting called (SPOILER)Soulja Boy, what's not to like? Spoiler'd to save ruining a funny bit.

    Grin

    What happened at the very beginning prior to being shot in the car? I walked in on the movie and missed 15 mins, and apparently the villain is shown in the beginning?

    Other than that, the movie was very entertaining. Will buy again A++++++++++
