Product Description

Academy Award® nominee Will Smith (Best Actor, The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public. When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past.

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

Hancock is one of those movies that everyone sort of likes, but never wants to rewatch if it sits within easy reach on a shelf. It's overlooked more often than not. On one side, that's a bit of a shame since the script alone is something worth mentioning, but on the other side there's no great loss.

It personifies the anti-hero in the flesh. He can fly, has super strength, and he's damage proof, basically a Superman without the cloak and fancy laser/x-ray vision and ice breath. Will Smith plays John Hancock, a more-than-often drunk who has an affinity for helping save lives but can't seem to get the technique down. As a result, he often causes extensive damage to public and private property. One day, he saves a struggling Public Relations man who wants nothing more than to change the world. As a thank you he dissuades a crowd of people from arguing with Hancock's techniques and invites him over for dinner. There Hancock meets the man's family and is offered some free consultation to allow Hancock to become more of a public figure instead of a public nuisance.

The story, however, is a bit tilted. At first you think this is going to be a movie about Hancock becoming more of a hero than a threat, but it unfolds that Hancock doesn't really know who he is or where he came from, hence his ambiguous name. The information is, almost literally, dropped into his lap and there's almost no satisfaction in garnering it for the audience since it was never really a high point of the movie. The saving grace of this somewhat mediocre storyline is the script and Will Smith's acting. He plays the perfect sarcastic, socially inept anti-hero. The script is well put together, if nothing else.

It's worth a watch on, perhaps, Netflix or for a cheap price, but don't expect it to be pulled off the shelves of your movie collection often.

This is one of the funniest super-hero movies ever made, and yet, the action and FX are top-notch. It also has a very original story line, with a very nice twist to the movie; this actually ends up being a bit of a tear jerker. One of the most unique super-hero movies produced to date. Will Smith is at his best, as a misunderstood, drunk superhero who does as much damage as good, until he finally meets someone with some compassion for his obvious pain. As his story unfolds, it gets more and more interesting. There are mysteries at work here! If you have not seen it, do it, you won't be sorry! And guys, the ladies will likely enjoy this movie too.

I have been wanting to see this film ever since the first trailer hit my TV screen, but something told me I did not need to see it in a theater!....I was right! It's not that I didn't enjoy this fun popcorn flick, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype.

Will Smith is good in the role of our superhero with issues, but he seems one dimensional. If they had only went a little more serious this could have been fantastic. I don't want to pick this film apart because it is a fantasy, action, popcorn movie. I mean really, does it really have to make total sense?

The film is full of funny moments with good performances from Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. The film is loud, fast paced and full of surprises, that even I didn't see coming. I watched the unrated version and it has about 10 minutes of footage not in the theatrical release. I will be watching the theatrical release soon and add notes if they're worth adding.

The DVD has a fair amount of interesting extras and the transfer in excellent. If your a fan of the film, I would buy the unrated 2 disc as it includes the theatrical version as well. A practice I hope continues, because I hate it when companies don't include the theatrical version on 2 disc unrated releases. I think film lovers spend enough money without making them decide which version is worth buying.

Interesting. There are super heroes amoung us. From another planet if I understand it correctly. Hancock lost his memory due to injury. The super heroes in this movie are drawn to each other, Hancock doesn't remember this though. I think Will Smith played his roll of moody, down on his luck, unlikely super hero very well. I think it is more for you older kids to watch, but a great film for movie night.

I watched this movie long ago....but my husband wanted the entire Will Smith collection for his birthday, so I bought this movie. It was a good story of how people can change if they want to, HOWEVER the trailer scene in the beginning of the movie WAS HORRIBLE and should have been deleted. I couldn't believe that children watched this movie and saw that scene. Some things are better left to the imagination. And I the plot was random...

"Hancock" is a great film with a unique spin on the usual superhero formula. Will Smith plays the title role, a foul mouthed, pissed off, alcoholic superhero (if you wanna call 'im that) who creates more damage in Los Angeles than he prevents. The people of the city hate his guts because of his attitude issues, and he acts as though he doesnt care, until a fateful meeting with a PR man, played by Jason Bateman, changes his life. From this point, Bateman sets about helping Hancock change his ways and embrace the "champion" within and win back the people's trust. Charlize Theron plays Bateman's wife, who may have a connection to our hero's past. A great, witty script plus Smith's charm make for a cool, interesting take on the superhero genre.
