Hancock

Pros: Interesting, entertaining movie. Good cast.
Cons: Trailer was a bit misleading. Some slower spots.

Many superhero movies have been made in the last several years, with the majority of them being based on comic books or graphic novels. I have seen some that featured characters created specifically for a movie, with some of those not being that great. ...

Pros: With an interesting premise, the movie started out decently enough.
Cons: But I didn't like the turn it took.

I thought the first half was pretty interesting.  If nothing else, it was certainly "different".  But I didn't like the direction it took in the second half.  I'm talking about Hancock, Will Smith's "delinquent superhero" ...

Pros: Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron.
Cons: It didn't feel fully developed.

    Hancock with Will Smith was a rather odd superhero flick.  Rather than being the respectable superhero he should have been, he was very ill-regarded rightly so.  While I do believe that Smith is a versatile actor, this ...

Pros: Jason Bateman’s naïve, PR Man character
Decent special effects
Some cheap laughs
Cons: Incohesive story line
Idiotic dialogue
No good bad guys

After seeing Will Smith’s latest movie, “Seven Pounds,” and loving it, I thought I should do some catching up on Big Willy and see his previous movie, “Hancock” on DVD. After feasting on “Seven Pounds,” watching ...

Pros: Concept, Beginning, Moments of humor/drama
Cons: Very erratic in pacing, Mediocre acting, Seems unsure what it wants to be

You know it's summer when Will Smith's yearly blockbuster rears its heads in theaters. Ever since "Independence Day" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten t_337492151940 ), it seems Smith appears in one big ...

Pros: Cast, themes, premise, humour
Cons: Logic quibbles, weak villain

Will Smith is the title superhero, who ain’t no Superman, that’s fer sure! He’s an alcoholic jerk, who dresses like a bum, doesn’t give a damn, and when he does help out humanity, he gets little thanks in return (Basically ...

Pros: Special effects.  Convincing acting on the part of the cast.
Cons: None.

We rented Hancock last evening.  I had been wanting to see it.  I didn't know if I'd like it or not.  I've seen pretty much all the super hero / comic book hero movies that have come out in recent years.  So far, the original X-Men is ...

Pros: novelty of a "super-hero bum", decent action, first half is full of goofy humor
Cons: movie veers off course halfway through, villians are underdeveloped

Will Smith is the star in this bizzare action film about a superhero who also happens to be a bum.  The film starts out with Smith, who plays as John Hancock (not the founding father, mind you), lying drunk on a bench.  Suddenly, police radios ...

Pros: A lot of laughs.  Great special effects.  Left me wanting more.
Cons: Weak explanation of Hancock's existence and vulnerability.

Starring Will Smith as John Hancock, Justin Bateman as Ray Embrey, and Charlize Theron as Mary Embrey. John Hancock, or commonly referred to as Hancock, is a surly, angry, drunk superhero with incredible powers.  He goes about his day, in Los ...

Pros: Acting, plot, special effects
Cons: None

I'd seen the trailers for Hancock before renting the film. I was a little worried that some of the funniest parts were given away in the previews but I was wrong. Hancock is not an award winning film but it is a really good action/adventure film that is ...

Pros: fun
Cons: not a very good plot

John Hancock (Will Smith) has superhuman strength and has good intentions but never is able to do the right thing in the public eye as he destroys the city of Miami and hurts more than he helps people. His fortunes turn as he saves an image consultant, ...

Pros: Funny, surprising, engrossing story.
Cons: Some bad words and one sex scene make it not suitable for young kids.

Note - the first half of this review is very general; the bottom half gives away major plot points. About the Movie & Who Should WatchI missed this in theaters and heard relatively little about this flick, but (disclosure) I'm partial to ...

Pros: will smith, humor and action
Cons: other characters are flat

I love Will Smith.  He's turned from a funnyman TV series Fresh Prince into one of the most diverse and  movie stars in the world.  He could make an insurance seminar funny.  All of his talent is needed in this high-budget semi-turd ...
