Hancock (Unrated Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Love this movie, but I don't think you should have to pay for this old of a movie when you have amazon prime.

nice movie

Funny

I like this movie because it's different from your typical superhero character. He cracks me up to. They have some pretty cool fight scenes in this.

This is one of the Super Hero shows currently in vogue, but with a twist. That twist makes it worth the watch and really brings the whole movie together. I think it's a fun show for all age groups

I really love this movie. A story of how a person who is stranger to himself comes to find themselves. Oh yes, that person is a superhero, kind of. I also tend to like movies directed by Peter Berg. He gets the perfect pacing and flow and little twists to make Hancock a really excellent movie. I don’t mean to discount Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman!! I think the casting is just about perfect.One of the things I like is how (especially with the features on the dvd) the movie explores the less thought about aspects of being a superhero starting with the more mundane things like what a hard landing might do to pavement or making a jump that would launch one for miles… and poor Walter the whale… But I don’t want to give too much away.Ultimately it’s a story of loss and redemption. How people can help up find who we really are and find the good in all of us. How sometimes we have to let ourselves hit the bottom to find our way back up. A story of a lost past and finding the truth. A story of being alone and then discovering you aren’t. And it’s laugh out loud funny – a lot.No surprise I think that I’m giving Hancock 5 stars. It is one of very few movies that I come back to every year or so.

Hancock, wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be, maybe it wasn't as funny as it could have been but on the other hand Hancock was a lot better than it could have been as well. Will Smith continues to be the true king of all media, he is believable as a character no matter how unlikely the scenario. And to be sure this is a ridiculous scenario, but no more so than that of any "Super Hero" tale. If you can suspend belief to agree that there is such a thing as a Super Hero, (some-one with such extraordinary abilities) then it isn't hard to accept that such a person might have character flaws (Don't we see that in virtually every person with extraordinary abilities)?So for me, I kind of liked this is a metaphorical study (I have been accused of reading too much into things). In 1979, in a class at the MTC by BYU, I heard a teacher say something that has always stuck with me "They never care how much you know, until they know how much you care" Sometimes, I have found, that people will act like they don't care what you do for them unless they like you. That is until they really need what you do for them, (of course then they may still resent that you are the one that saved them). This is the real story of Hancock for me. Now the question is... Is a high budget comedy action movie the best vehicle for that lesson? Probably not; But what is the best? I have no idea.Now the real problem with the film is the secondary plot, about the nature and origin of the superpower. Did that work? No it did not. Other than to express the loneliness of Hancock, it detracted from every other aspect of the film. So a movie that started pretty good (for me), ended up just being an okay way to spend an afternoon with my sweetheart.3 &1/2 *4* for the first half of the movie, 3* for the second half.

After reading some of the other reviews, I had to add in my own two cents. I watch a lot of movies. Been watching them since I was a kid. I love superhero movies, collected every comic from Spiderman, to Superman, and Spawn. But the things this movie has over all of those, is originality, good humor, and a touching story. Marvel fans may be upset that there is no cliche Stan Lee-esque radioactivity accident, or nearly Omnipotent "last son" of a dying advanced alien civilization. Somebody didn't accidentally fall into a bunch of strange chemicals and develop super abilities. It's very possible that what made many comic book fans not like it is simply that there is no "I can be a superhero too factor" for all those nerds out there fantasizing that they can one day stumble upon a magic ring or secret experiment that will make them gods. So as not to ruin the plot for you, I'll say simply that it's a fairly original idea, and I loved it. It's even traumatic in a way and adds a certain amount of emotion to the film. All the characters were very well written and acted, and I don't understand why anyone - comic book fan or otherwise - would have a problem with it. We need more ideas for superheros, or they're all just the same. To keep this short, I'll say this. Rent it, buy it, stream it from Amazon or netflix, or buy the dvd or bluray. Don't ever take the word of a few individuals online. Some of the best movies I've ever seen were given bad ratings by bloated, under-educated people that just don't want to think during a movie. You know what opinions are like. And everyone has one. Just because a few people didn't like a movie doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that it wasn't for those few people. For that matter, don't take my word for it either. Think for yourself, but definitely give this movie a chance. You'll be glad you did. P.S. The unrated version is way better FYI.

Helden. Superhelden. Hancock. John Hancock (Will Smith) ist kein gewöhnlicher Superheld, sondern ein recht ungewöhnlicher Gefährte. Seine Superkräfte sind enorm: Er ist unverwundbar, verfügt über eine grenzenlose Körperkraft, kann (sehr, sehr schnell) fliegen und ist potentiell unsterblich. Der Anti-Held ist allerdings auch unmotiviert, gereizt und alkoholsüchtig. Geht er mal auf Verbrecherjagd, dann nur, um die Ganoven mal so richtig schön zu verprügeln und dabei die halbe Stadt anzuzünden. Alles in allem ist Hancock ein recht unliebsamer Geselle, der in der Stadt dementsprechend wenig Ansehen genießt.Das soll sich jedoch ändern, als er dem PR-Berater Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) das Leben rettet und dieser ihm aus Dankbarkeit heraus anbietet, das Image des Anti-Helden aufzupolieren.Zunächst recht widerwillig und mit einigen Bedenken beschließt Hancock, das Angebot von Ray anzunehmen. Zu Beginn läuft diese Mission auch gar nicht so schlecht, aber dann stößt Hancock auf ein Hindernis, das sich nicht durch ein bisschen Muskelkraft beseitigen lässt: die hübsche Frau des PR-Agenten, Mary Embrey (Charlize Theron), die nicht nur Hancocks Verbesserungsversuche in Gefahr bringt, sondern auch selbst ein gewaltiges Geheimnis hat.

Good acting and good special effects.Plot, though, could have been improved.Warning about language (a lot of use of "a_ _ hole" throughout much of this movie!) So, this video is probably not good, for children - despite they are likely already well-versed in the term, from the school play yard, internet, etc.)

WHATS NOT TO LIKE ABOUT WIL SMITH

Good movie, it wasn’t scratched and the packaging wasn’t damaged.
