Anyone else seen this yet?

I can't decide what I think of it. It was a good film but was also abit of a let down, really funny in parts but I spent half my time wishing it would get a move on and picking popcorn out of my bra

Will Smith was great as usual, I didn't really like Charlize Therons character though and then when I discovered she also had his powers I just groaned inside, although it wasn't that bad really

It just felt like the plot kicked in too late or something =/

Nothing really stands out to me other than the beginning and the end really

I thought it was quite funny at parts

Wee fat french kid "Ass...hol *wham!* ARGHHHHHH"

Hancock "You take your right leg and kick him in his piss pump" I couldn't stop laughing

It was a clever plot with the twist at the end. I really liked it, but yeah i know what you mean how the plot kicked in to late. I kept looking at the time near the end

and whats this i read about you picking popcorn out of your bra, why's it there in the first place

I kept missing my mouth (don't ask how, targets big enough) so I spent half my time fishing it out

That French kid was hilarious, and I was plain in stitches when that guys head ended up that other guys arse, it's a shame really, had the potential to be a really great film

It just didn't suck me in as some films do, normally I would have cried at the end but I was just like meh, whatever

Head up the ass was genius

Giving the chick powahz was a bit lame, the plot twist itself wasn't too bad, it was just really corny. The ending was also pretty corny, I would have rather just seen everyone die and leave it on that note, but naturally they couldn't do that. I did love what the PR did to the guy with the hook though

Other than that though, I loved this movie. Despite being corny, the movie was bloody hilarious and had me in stitches frequently.

Yes, we all liked it, fear not

And yes, he does play a drunken superhero, it makes for epic lulz rly. I actually saw this movie by mistake too, I meant to go see Wall-E, but the dumb girl who sold me the tickets somehow mistook "Wall-E" for "Hancock." I didn't even notice, so when the movie started I just thought they were showing the wrong movie, but I didn't really care since I wanted to see it anyway.

You'll like it though. Even though Will Smith had to be a trendy douchebag and decide to help Tom Cruise promote Scientology, he's still funny.

I thought it was much better then the critics gave it. I truly enjoyed myeslf...one let down though, before going into the movie people kept talking about how it had a 'twist'...So I kept watching and waiting...and never saw any sort of twist.
I truly hope they weren't talking about The women being a super hero as the twist...because from the second you see her I thought it was fairly obvious that there was a past behind those two and that she wasn't letting on everything.

I liked it a lot, but it seemed a bit rushed too me, or maybe not enough story in it. I like a good super hero movie with a huge villain, but it was just the prisoner guys lol. How the heck did they get out of jail so easily anyway?

I didn't like the twist of her being his long lost wife or whatever, it really made no sense to me. Great Will Smith, just lack of a story to me.

I saw it the other week. Will Smith is always a great actor, everything he's in is always amazing. I thought Hancock was worth going to see but it wasn't an amazing film, itself. Discovering that he and Theron were both thousands of years old was a bit cheesy and could've been deepened a bit more but I suppose it worked.
