Hancock was a pretty interesting as well as entertaining movie. It definitely wasn't your typical superhero movie; and it wasn't originally a DC or Marvel comic. It's more about what would happen if someone with superheroes was around in modern... Read more at imdb.com

I also was at the test screening in Peoria AZ. The film was spot on for the first hour. Jokes were hitting left and right, Smith and Bateman displayed good chemistry, and the special effects, though not always finished, were... Read more at imdb.com

The latest Will Smith effort is much different from the average big budget flashy superhero movies that have dominated the box office the last few years. Don't go to Hancock thinking you are seeing another Superman, Fantastic 4, Ironman or... Read more at imdb.com

Hancock* * * (out of four)07/01/08Hancock isn't for everyone, and already seems to be dividing critics (most are leaning towards "bad"). I've often said that mainstream critics seem to have a herd mentality, so they can't necessarily be trusted every... Read more at imdb.com
I caught a preview showing of Hancock tonight. I enjoyed it for what it was which is a fun, mostly fast-paced popcorn flick. The writers of the film also tossed in a nice plot twist that I didn't see coming... Read more at imdb.com
Will Smith. That's all you've got to say, and you're guaranteed a big opening at the box office. Well, from the looks of it, Smith also guarantees you at least a mildly entertaining film, which is what we get in... Read more at imdb.com

The misanthropic Hancock could care less what they think of him and is eternally itching for a fight. Such is the premise of Hancock , which finds Will Smith enjoying a role very different than the nice guys he's usually stuck playing. ... Full Review

Will Smiths Hancock is disappointing Movie about flawed superhero shows too many of its own flaws By DUANE DUDEKJournal Sentinel film critic Posted: July 1, 2008 After establishing Hancock as a homeless alcoholic, whose profane rants make the PG-13 rating hard to defend, and watching him trash public and private property without so much as a "My bad," the story crashes to earth. ...

Entertainment Weekly
Part action comedy, part drama, Hancock recounts this broken-down character's attempt to rehabilitate his public image with the help of a marketing expert (Jason Bateman). For Smith, there's clearly no ''if'' about it especially now that the film has dropped its giggle-inducing original title. ... Full Review

Hancock" seems to be charting fresh, smart territory amid Hollywood's formulaic superhero tales. Hancock" turns from a moody, darkly funny character piece trimmed out with a bit of engaging action and veers into a poor impersonation of a standard superhero movie. ... Full Review
