EUR Movie Review: 'Hancock' starring Will Smith

In a summer blockbuster season boasting several spectacular comic book adaptations in Iron Man, The Hulk and Wanted, the last thing we need is a spoof of the superhero genre so unpleasant and unfocused. The fatal flaw is the fact that the protagonist (Hancock) isn't even likable. Who would opt to cast the ever-charming Fresh Prince against type as a surly, foul-mouthed misanthrope? Nobody wants to root for an a-hole (there I called him one, too) who refers to women by the b-word, bullies children and makes a pass at the spouse of the only guy willing to help him.

This is why they never erect statues to critics. They are worthless.

Dover Sacramento, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #12 Jul 6, 2008 Judged: 1 1 1 Film critics, who are ultra-liberal leftist homosexuals, loath actors who are on the Conservative side. Hollywood tried and tried to get Will Smith to change his political views to no avail. They are in a dilemma. He is their biggest money maker. Guys like Clint Eastwood shifted to the left. It is evident with his film Mystic River, with Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon. Rumor has it that Clint had a homosexual relationship with one of them. Eastwood has been converted.

I think they were setting the movie up so we had a good understanding who hancock is and where he came from. I am positive the next sequell wil be much better.

ROBUSTER Concord, NC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #18 Jul 9, 2008 As for the movie Mystic River it follows the basic storyline of the book. It did leave out some of the storyline dealing with the early years of the three main men in the book. Great book, fair movie.
