Hancock - Page 2

**sumzup** · 07-4-2008, 02:09 AM

That was actually a funny video. How are you still alive now?

Anyways, I think I'll see Hancock...it looks weird enough to be decent, despite the negative reviews.

Did you really see the film? You probably missed this part but being named Hancock was not to draw attention to the film it was: because when he recovered from his concussion the hospital asked for his John Hancock, popular saying for a signature. He actually thought that was his name so he stuck with it.

Also, whats wrong with a movie switching themes? I thought that Hancock was able to do this and still entertain me until the end off the movie.

No idea...but I am

It looks great from the trailer though, I wonder why people think it's bad?

Hancock was good for the first 50 minutes.

Commandersa1 · 07-4-2008, 03:05 AM

I thought the movie was really good.

So I guess you did not like the twist.

I have no problem with switching themes. It's just the fact that practically the entire concept of the movie seemed to change, as if there was a fine line in the middle of the plot. It had me (among many others) scratching our heads.

Yeah, I remember that part clearly, I just wasn't clear on what a John Hancock was (lol), so it confused me a little.

I'm going to see it in a few hours. It rained on the day I was going to the beach so were on vacation watching movies.

**Cyanite** · 07-4-2008, 12:27 PM

spoilers:

Beginning was awesome, got bored during the jail scenes, interest sparked briefly when he got out, and once the other immortal showed up I completely lost interest

To those who say it got a bad review: every movie ever except The Lion King has gotten bad reviews.

In my opinion, the worse rating a comedy or new type of movie gets, the more it's worth seeing.
Critics think they're opinion rules all, so they use it to gain power. On top of them thinking they're professionals, this creates bad reviews.

People don't want critics who give every movie, or even every movie they like, 5 stars.

**Adamaja456** · 07-5-2008, 03:05 PM

just got done watching it online(ima cheap badass)

Anyways, i thought the over movie was pretty good. will smith does a pretty good job being a jerk. A few corny scenes but that didn't really distract me from the flim. Interesting plot twist halfway through the movie, and the ending was pretty good IMO.

id give it 8/10

**smartdude1212** · 07-5-2008, 03:09 PM

Well isn't that too bad, I hate Will Smith.

**tha Guardians** · 07-5-2008, 04:30 PM

I'm not sure how you hate Will Smith, but I guess I'll just get over it.

I think he's a cool actor.
Anyway, I'm going to see the movie in like 2 and a half hours.
Hope it's good.

**Silver_Brian** · 07-6-2008, 03:38 AM

It was only good for the comedy.

You just helped me think my thoughts.

I'd give it a 7.5/10

Only because the head up the ass jail seen had me rolling.

~Shenanigans~ · 07-6-2008, 03:25 PM

Hancock was funny the first half of the movie. The following half lost its charm that made it funny at first. Worth watching though.

**tha Guardians** · 07-7-2008, 04:10 AM

I finally saw it, and I was far from disappointed. I think some of the people in this thread are too harsh.

Worth the ticket if you go to the movies often. Worth popcorn and a drink, too, if you don't.

Best. metaphor. taken. literally. ever.

p.s. another solid Will Smith film. Although it may have been confusing to some in terms of the plot twist and the sudden change, it worked out well. If you pay attention there is TONS of melodrama throughout the movie, and the characters seem to be portrayed very well.

I thought it was cool that for once there wasn't some evil villain that was super badass like the hero, very un-typical and thus more enjoyable because of the unique factor.

p.p.s. How the FUK can u not like Will Smith? o.O

foxyroxy2693 · 07-9-2008, 11:48 AM

Seriously, if you don't like Will Smith there's something wrong with you.

I would go see that movie only because he's in it. Not only is his acting ability amazing, he's only got some sexy black man status going on.
Haha.
