Dec 29, 20109Whenever I first watched this movie, I just thought wow! Why I like it is because it's unique to other superhero movies. One of the best films I ever watched.

IanA.Jul 13, 200810LOVED this movie. I don't understand why it has received so many poor reviews. It was really entertaining and not just the same old superhero type of movie, I think it was a cut above the rest and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for an hour and a half of fun escapism.

JoshuaB.Jul 4, 20089This movie is well worth your time. I am a huge will smith fan, but skeptical of this role. I didn't think this was going to fit him, but I was wrong. Will smith is spectacular, along with opposite Charlize Theron, and suprisingly well Juno co-star Jason Bateman. A must see amongst all movies this summer.

RicoGJul 5, 200810I dont care what critics think, i watch a movie and decide for myself. Sometimes critics dont know what their talking about. I think they just watch to many movies in the long run and are unhappy with their jobs. I loved this Movie and want to watch it again.

RenarldoM.Jul 6, 20089Nice twist,critics are stupid.Not much of a family movie,but it was good.Very funny good to see a super hero movie without marvel and dc.

BetsyMJul 6, 20089I really enjoyed this movie. Good story, good acting. I guess the professional reviewers think they know better about how to critique a movie, but they missed the boat on this one.

StECStECDec 1, 20089This was the best superhero movie of the summer only behind Dark Knight. Really this was a fantastic twist on the genre and it worked not too mention Will Smith is simply amazing in these big summer epic roles!

JanetN.Jul 1, 20089This movie has everything you could want in a summer blockbuster -- great humor & action. Will Smith is fabulous but Jason Bateman almost steals the show.

AndréL.Jul 13, 20089This movie is good, i don´t know why the majority don´t think the same, it´s original because put a black as a hero, it is very fun, and has good special effects, that´s it, if the history in the end is not so good, that´s alright, but still, the movie is very good.

JakeCJul 16, 20089Your same old super hero movie until the eccentric plot twist in the middle.
-
-
JoshNJul 2, 200810This movie is seriously great. No reason for you to doubt it being a blockbuster. Very funny, very intriguing, and maybe suffers from a bit of flatness, but it's definitely a very good movie. Go see it

SamH.Jul 2, 200810Very good satire comedy.
-
-
SimonM.Jul 2, 200810Everything a Will Smith summer movie should be! If your expecting "Iron Man", "the Incredible Hulk", or "the Dark Knight" you may be disappointed, just think of it as a Will Smith picture with a superhero twist, cause that's what it is!

DanteMJul 3, 200810All the critics seem to be inacting exactly what Hancock did to he 2 prisoners. This movie was amazing, it had everything a true movie lover would want. You haters are just a bunch of movie loving posers.

CarolP.Jul 5, 200810I really don't understand the bad reviews. Great acting. Interesting plot. Thoughtful ideas. Limited special effects subject to last three. What is this with the stupid critics?
-
-
CoreyF.Jul 5, 20089Very action packed, and funny stupid story but i dont care because it entertained me.
-
-
JamesR.Jul 5, 20089Great movie, a good twist on the superhero movie theme. Both thrilling and funny, and Arrested development star Jason Bateman dominates the movie with a larger speaking role than Will smith. Definitely does not deserve a worse rating than "You don't mess with the zohan," i mean, come on.

MaxC.Jul 8, 20089I had a lot of fun watching this movie and will watch again. I can't wait for the DVD with the bonus features.

KimQ.Dec 1, 20089Hancock brings a true tour de force of action, curiousity and angst to the screen. A brilliant movie that ranges through all emotions. Brava!

Hexen29Dec 22, 200810What an unexpected surprise! Yes in parts it's really odd, but I loved it all the more for that. It made me laugh lots too.

HarleyB.Jul 10, 200810keeps you entertained the whole time, which is something most movies now days don't do. and even with its plot twists it shows you the side of superheroes that should be shown more often.

-
ArtB.Jul 10, 20089I really cant believe so many people DIDN'T like this movie!?! I thought it was great and had it explained the characters better, (Their explanation of why he was a super hero was lame admittedly) I would have gave it a 10.
-
-
RatKJul 1, 20089Thoroughly entertaining and funny movie! The history behind Hancock's superpowers could have been explained better, but that is not the major plot of the movie. Great performances and excellent special effects. Another blockbuster from Will Smith.

PatriciaM.Jul 12, 200810I love will smith he is a great actor and this movie is very good.
-
-
ScottS.Jul 2, 20089I saw Hancock at the Midnight release. The theater was less packed than I thought it would be for a release. Will Smith did an exelent job in bringing humor and crazima to the roll. The only down sidew was the very jumpy camera during the action scenes. The twist is a side-swipe.This movie is a true movie that will get a sequel!!!!

JohnnyL.Jul 23, 20089One of the best movies this year don't listen to the critic's they don't know shit.

FelixG.Jul 4, 200810I think the Amercian public is getting spoiled. I have no clue why they would rate this movie low when there is so much crap out there. The bottom line. this movie was enjoyable! Go see it !!!!!

-
JimM.Jul 5, 20089This film was much better than I anticipated after reading earlier reviews. It actually had a message along with the action and comedy but not to the point of being "heavy". It's a film I could enjoy over again--it's like a good summer beach book -- entertaining and energetic.
-
-
AJJ.Jul 7, 200810This movie was absolutely awesome!!!!! I think critics just hate Will Smith, get over it, he's not going anywhere.

RyanD.Jul 8, 20089I loved it, I gave it a 9 because the plot kind of meandered a bit, and I feel they sort of sacrificed an amazing ending for a happy ending, but It was still great.

TredeM.Jul 17, 200810Critics are just dumb. This movie is gold. Well done, Mr. Smith.

LeventeSJun 26, 20099Despite a slightly flat performance from Charlize Theron in a keystone role as opponent-come love-interest, and a bit of a muddled plot, Hancock is more than rescued by Will Smith's charisma and charm, not to mention a solid script, well-rounded characters, and a soundtrack that surprised me more than anything else. not perfect, not even close, but definitely worth more than one viewing.

May 7, 20119awesome movie.....i just love the movie and will smith and his acting.....itz rating should be 8 or 9...can't understand why it is not....anyways its depends on thinking and choice.
-
Sep 27, 20119this film is one of d best films ive ever seen
Its got tons of action,really funny,great acting and an okay story..must watch!
Personally its ma favourite will smith movie
-
The visual effects are stellar, but the true star is Smith, who again demonstrates acting chops as well as effortless charisma in a vehicle that's only occasionally worthy of his superhuman skills.
-
30The effects are snazzy, even if they pass by quite quickly, and there's enough going on to keep audiences watching, if not entirely happy. Smith, Theron and Bateman capably handle the main roles, but such is the skimpiness of the scenario that no further characters make any impact.
-
90Hancock suggests new visual directions and emotional tonalities for pop. It's by far the most enjoyable big movie of the summer.
