Product Description
Sony Pictures Hancock (Blu-ray)

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 (Unrated) [Blu-ray]   January 6, 2009
C. L. Harris (Massachusetts, USA)

Good DVD Will Smith is at his usual best. Entertaining and I like the characters and plot.

I paid a few dollars more than it costs at Wal-Mart though.

Hancock is a good movie for teens and adults as younger viewers may not be able to take in the whole scope of the movie or appreciate some of the more adult humor.

This version is unrated but I'd give it a PG-13.

There are periods of profanity and violence so if you are squeamish about watching or are squeamish about your children watching then I would not recommend this movie for you.

Other reviewers may have stated that Hancock was no Superman or Batman and that is true in the same way that Alien is no Jaws or vice versa even though they are both monster-type movies. I don't think Hancock was trying to be Superman ... it is what it is and it should be taken as such.

If you watch Hancock and DON'T compare it to another superhero flick or pick apart every little camera angle I think you will enjoy it as it is funny and the ending is touching!

Just try it! Don't listen to everyone else says and miss out on a movie that you may REALLY like! If you don't want to spend the money buying it just yet then rent it or borrow it from a friend but at least give it a spin!



  Classic SuperHero Movie....   January 6, 2009
Charles E. Cascone (New Jersey)
Done totally serious, with an (as usual) amazing Will Smith performence.
The man can act in ANY role and make you believe.

terribile, questo film e terribile e che dire di Will Smith? talento!? forse lo ha dimostrato nella serie Il principe di Bel Air!

Save your money people. This has got to be Will Smith's worst movie ever. The Even Stevens movie was better than this, and that movie tanked for adult audiences. The plot was very thin. The "super-her0" was a drunk and caused more damage than the criminals. He falls in love with the only woman he cannot have. I am not saying Will's acting is bad, just the script. He chose poorly when he accepted this role.
