It was 2/3rds of a good movie. It's actually a solid premise. Everyone always asks "what if Superman turned evil?" but few ask "what if Superman was 100% done and just wanted to drink all day?"
I want to see something similar but the protagonist isn't uncaring or nonchalant but incompetent. Where he has great power and wants to do good but is a complete idiot. I don't mean like The Greatest American hero where he was just overwhelmed by his powers, this guy should be so stupid that having these abilities are actually a detriment.

Hancock was ahead of it’s time. If it came out during the right time like MHa and one punch man during the peak of movie superhero influence. It would have raked it bags
@Ren Levy I liked it well enough also. Don't get all the hate. Sure, it's not cinematic gold but I found it to be entertaining enough because it's....wait for it....a fucking fantasy movie....and entertainment it provided. Probably the only thing I found really stupid about the script was how when he went to prison and the prisoners actually thought they were a threat to him. That was just dumb. Put Lex Luthor and Superman in a jail cell together and take notice that Superman's knees don't start to tremble.
The first 2/3rds are honestly really good. It's the last half with the twist reveal that derails it. I swear one more rewrite and they would've nailed it imo
@craig o It's not that is wasn't a generic superhero ending. People dont generally want generic, by the number plots, especially nowadays with 100 superhero movies in the past 15 years😃 Its that it was kind of dumb (his kryptonite was literally a white woman, that's not just a joke😆), and it hard shifts the tone and direction the movie was going. It really does feel like the 3rd act of a different movie. Like, it shifts the plot from an "antihero steps up" story something like Deadpool to a 'relationship action/comedy', like My Super Ex-Girlfriend. I like the general idea of the 2 beings that can't be together or sacrifice their immortality. But, the rest of the plot, or the execution, was just done poorly. Like, the "main villain's" idea was to what exactly? Walk in and shoot Superman!? Even laid up in the hospital, that's a dumbass villain plot.
The moment she threw him through the house and revealed who she was is when it hit a wall (no pun intended lol) …..they had no logical reason for her to do that except to progress the story
I remember really loving this idea for this film but missed it at the cinema and caught it later on TV and I was so disappointed and confused by the convoluted twist. Absolutely nerfed an interesting idea.

@ladychips Of the *other* top ten 2008 box office films, only Wall-E *isn't* a blatant remake or a franchise entry based on some existing entertainment property. Even Wall-E is just a novel take on a well-used 'Last Man Remaining on a Dystopian Earth' trope. Kung Fu Panda is overtly a version of the much used Seven Samurai (the Five plus Po and Master Shifu) and Mamma Mia! and the Narnia film were based on a successful play and a book series respectively. The others taken from a Wikipedia listing are globally famous franchise output. Cheers!
I always thought the message in this film was off. The whole way through it was about how Hancock should use his powers to help people, and yet when it was revealed that Mary also has powers there is no criticism of her for doing nothing with them. At least Hancock was trying to do good, she was doing nothing.
Hancock has forgotten who he was, Mary has mastered the way of living. I think it was very well explained that Mary was trying to stay away from Hancock that's why she went under the radar, so Hancock wouldn't find her. I think it's pretty obvious
@Владос Really? Why being so obsessed with me, myself and I would be fine? Because she wanted to be a housewife would mean there would be no moral pressure for her to use her powers for "the greater good"? Sounds pretty selfish and neurotic actually...
I loved this movie.....what if superman just didn't give a fuq? Was the third act a mess....yup....but on purpose IMO because every time those two got together it ended very badly. Imagine going through that with someone for Millenia with someone for them to completely forget you and have no recollection of it....that would be torture and a whole other level.

@Ignorance ≠ Bliss Did he, though? At first, I thought he did, but I started to doubt that looking back. For one, he said this to cops that were not doing so well in that particular situation and were far from having the situation under control. Second, he did not really sound like his usual self and sounded awkward. It was almost like someone who was trying to do PR and were looking for something to say. The guy he became friends with did want him to change his image. When looking back, it almost seems like he was kind of bored when he said it. Maybe that could be chalked up to him not being used to the whole noble superhero thing.
I actually really liked the third act! I like the twist, and yes, three dudes with a gun against two superpowered beings would *normally* be a sucky showdown, but the fact is that when they are together they become vulnerable, hence the guns actually hurt now. It's a good twist!
The funny thing is that I went to watch this movie in the theater, while The Dark Knight was being screened, thank god I went to watch The Dark Knight the other day...
@jevTwo even worse. He's living with a woman who cheating on him by sleeping with other men and mentally abused him, but because of his simpness, he's ditching his own dignity for the woman he loves.
You do? Everyone makes mistakes - he slapped Chris Rock, apologies and is already making movies again. Will Smith is the last guy to feel sorry for - he has already moved on.

I was so confused when the bad guys made an alliance to go after him near the end, since they had no way to know he was just being depowered right then. That finished taking me out of the movie.
@Lee Everett You can see that they already escaped on the tv right before he got shot, so either they just wanted to escape prison and decided on a detour when they saw he was shot, or they escaped just hoping to God that Superman was going to lose his powers for some reason
They only try to kill him after he gets shot and ends up in hospital. They knew because it was all over the news, so everyone could suspect something was wrong with his powers.
I think there was something about his weakness attracting enemies? So subconsciously they knew it was time. It's been a while since I've seen it, though.
You misunderstood: those scars aren't from them fighting each other, it's from the people that came and tried to kill them everytime they became mortal.
@Kackpuh There's copious footage in the movie of them fighting each other, yet the video, which is edited very carefully, shows Hancock fighting a thug for that line. Also, the people who do these things are not, you know, stupid. There's no "with each other" in the scripts and no evidence to assume it was implied.
One line that really sticks out in this movie for 2022 was when Hancock was rescuing that pinned down female police officer, and he asks "do I have permission to touch your body? It's not sexual!" 🤣
I agree. I think cause most people have seen the older films, so we understand what he is talking about. Now a days, if its not an Honest Trailer on Marvel, John Wick, or the animated movie of the year, I probably haven't seen the movie.
I actually like this movie, the ending does kind of suck and it gets really weird really fast. But I honestly enjoyed the first bit so much that it almost didn't matter. Oddly enough, Men in Black 2 has a similar issue. It isn't bad bad, but the very end seems to run out of budget or something. It gets boring and one of the effects they use is laughable terrible.

I actually kind of enjoy this movie, I like the idea of it since it kind of goes outside the superhero norm. If anything, where it ended would be just fine, but a movie or hell, even a comic book that dives into what/who they are, why and how would be really neat. We get no explanation behind anything other than Hancock kind of remembers something from a long time ago, they've been around a long time and always wind up together, but they lose their powers when that happens

Am I the only one that enjoys the twist and the concept of a godlike pair that's fated to love each other and lose their powers or distance themselves and gain extraordinary abilities? lol I love this movie. Also, it's hilarious that the best joke about the parallels b/t Will Smith and Hancock wouldn't have even made sense a year ago.
Nope, I liked the idea of these 2 beings stay together but lose their powers or stay separate but remain immortal. That's a dope concept. BUT, the way it was used here felt kind of shoehorned in. The whole movie is about how Hancock is a shitty person trying to do good, but just being bad at it. Which means, he's not actually a shitty person. Then, we start to see his growth and willingness to change and actual progression. But, once it's revealed that she exist, the whole movie completely switches focus from Hancock's growth and development to him focusing on being with her and their history. It's like the 3rd act was meant for a different movie.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this movie pretty well, I just felt like they tried to cater to too many people so it was unfocused. The Average Joe villain plot was completely unnecessary for example.

@Verakoo Homelander is a coward and a bully who only attacks anyone he knows he can beat. If he ever fought someone who's stronger or has countless years of experience like Hancock, he wouldn't stand a chance.
It what context? Homelander is way more hardcore. Lol i dont think Hancock has ever conviced someone they didnt want to kill themself just so he could kill them lmao.
It was crazy Bateman and Theron’s characters STAYED TOGETHER. Her and Smith were lovers but stayed away way since they lose their powers so Bateman’s like, “Ha, I win by default”. Lmao.
Only problem with this movie was that they clearly didnt know where to go with it in the end. The movie changes its own motto so many times that it feels like you watch 3-4 seperate, unrelated movies under 2 hours.
I remember hearing this one was a victim of the writer's strike, hence why it felt like two different movies smashed together. It didn't get the reworking it needed.
so one points out a good reason... it was written during the writers strike!! no wonder. Hope this train strikw works out better than this movies ending jehejeje!!

When I saw this in the theaters, I though it was fun and funny--for about the 1st third of the film. Then I felt like, "OK, we get it. Will Smith is Super Brother." Then the weird stuff with Charlize Theron's character started happening and I was like, "Ah HAL! Now here's a FILM hiding in this MOVIE." Granted there ARE three plots and they ALL could have there own movie.
I kinda like this movie. If it would've been more coherent about what it was even trying to be, I think people would look back on it much more fondly. We could use more original superhero movies.

I had forgotten how much I love this movie. It's hilarious and the twist end somehow makes it more endearing to me. Hancock, the hero you love to hate, but still feel sorry for.
This film is so torn by its elements of satire against its elements of genuineness that I'm not too surprised looking back and realizing why I didn't really get into it. Still, deserves props even looking back for some elements like just the opening alone.
I felt if they went all out on the initial premise of what if Superman was this drunk rude guy who nobody liked and was more trouble than he was worth it would have been better.

Hancock actually has promising idea. Well the story a bit confusing because of so many points & Jason Bateman’s character heart campaign was too cheesy
I actually liked the idea that they get paired off and lose their super powers. Loved it from the start, though I was sure it's not your typical popcorn flick.
It's basically the uno reverse card to the superheroes/beings teaming up to be stronger trope, I liked it too. Having to choose between your powers and the person you're supposed to be with could have been played out a bit better in the movie, but I like the idea.
Okay thank you for including that scene, I keep seeing versions of this movie where they cut out the part where he hooks up in his trailer, and screams “Mountain top… MOUNTAIN TOP!” And throws the girl off him 😂😂😂 I was starting to think I made it up 😅
No there really isn't an explanation of what they are. Just super powered beings. They were called different things throughout history. Gods, Angels, Witches, and with Hancock Superhero.
When I first read the concept of hancock, I thought it was great. Superman, but not raised by ma and pa Kent. Maybe even raised in the inner city, and trying to keep his powers secret. Thats not what we got. Justice league Gods and Monsters was actually the closest to what I was hoping for with Zod being raised in Mexico.
It was 2/3rds of a good movie. It's actually a solid premise. Everyone always asks "what if Superman turned evil?" but few ask "what if Superman was 100% done and just wanted to drink all day?"
@Abe Garfield agreed. I feel like G.I. Joe was the same for me. Too middle of the road
@Big Frenchie
That's a common problem.
A lot of films can't decide which audience it wants to aim for.
I mean we know what would happen is superman was evil......brighburn.... did they make an honest trailer for that😆cause they should...
In my opinion was the film rating. It should have either been more child friendly or more adult.
Yeah I guess they just didn’t know how to end it or the ending they wanted wasn’t in the budget
I'd really love for someone to take another stab at this movie someday, because there's just so much potential
@Abe Garfield Shazam?
....a bit like Captin Clyde.
Now, there's an obscure reference.
I want to see something similar
but the protagonist isn't uncaring or nonchalant
but incompetent.
Where he has great power and wants to do good but is a complete idiot.
I don't mean like
The Greatest American hero
where he was just overwhelmed by his powers,
this guy should be so stupid that having these abilities are actually a detriment.
Agreed 💯

@Vinsanity one *slap*....boy....not man
it tried to be the boys before the boys. and will smith turned out to be a real life one punch man. 😄
@NounOzlos I hear you saying that in Zoidberg's voice.
If it was actually a good movie, maybe
@Ren Levy I liked it well enough also. Don't get all the hate.

The moment she threw him through the house and revealed who she was is when it hit a wall (no pun intended lol) …..they had no logical reason for her to do that except to progress the story
Hancock feels like two scripts they just wedged into one film.
It is actually, I know the original movie's script was called tonight he comes
Did Vince Gillian write the 1/2 that was actually good?
@Blaze Curry 😂
So it's like one script, was jammed up into another script....
Or three, or four.. so bad
The movie that gave two for one movie rental a new meaning.

I give the film credit for trying something a bit different than simply making another spin-off or sequel. The first act was pretty good too.

well at the time of release, squels and spin-offs weren't the thing

You know when this came out there had to be some people watching this going “if he’s that strong why doesnt he just slap people?”
Homelander: You guys are the real heroes.
Hancock: Good job.

One line that really sticks out in this movie for 2022 was when Hancock was rescuing that pinned down female police officer, and he asks "do I have permission to touch your body? It's not sexual!" 🤣
This line just rolls my eye 😒, complete BS
If you're doing good movies that had a horrible third act, do "Law Abiding Citizen" which was an amazing movie with the worst 15 minute ending.
Yeah, ain’t that the truth. It’s like they were in first place of the race, but it ended up tripping and falling 5 ft from the finish line.
Yep, it was so close
ugh, it was such a let down.
A prequel of Hancock would be amazing!
PreCock will Smith
No.
Riiiiiight?
I love this movie. I always lamented that there wasn't ever a sequel.

This is actually one of my favorite movies. I wish the whole movie was just Hancock being a dick to people.
Honest trailers is at its best when it does older films 👏👏👏

Hancock is the film everyone forgot about but has the ideas everyone uses.
I loved Hancock and thought it was so much fun, but they had so many ideas that could have been so much more interesting with more development.
Enjoyed the CinemaSins shout out. 😄
Honestly, the plot twist of the ending is what made me like this movie so much. If it wasn't for that, it'd be pretty much just another action movie.
The cinema sins bit was priceless 😂

The movie seems to indicate Theron really does care about Bateman.
@John C J MR. F
There's plenty of couples like that in real life where one of the partners "won by default"
I can only see Micheal Bluth and Rita, happily ever after.
Only problem with this movie was that they clearly didnt know where to go with it in the end. The movie changes its own motto so many times that it feels like you watch 3-4 seperate, unrelated movies under 2 hours.
My 2nd favorite "superhero" movie of all time. Nr.1 being Watchmen.

I remember hearing this one was a victim of the writer's strike, hence why it felt like two different movies smashed together. It didn't get the reworking it needed.
This movie had so much potential and squandered it
so one points out a good reason... it was written during the writers strike!! no wonder. Hope this train strikw works out better than this movies ending jehejeje!!
Yes! I've been asking for this for years! Now do iRobot.. DO IT

When I saw this in the theaters, I though it was fun and funny--for about the 1st third of the film. Then I felt like, "OK, we get it. Will Smith is Super Brother." Then the weird stuff with Charlize Theron's character started happening and I was like, "Ah HAL! Now here's a FILM hiding in this MOVIE." Granted there ARE three plots and they ALL could have there own movie.
"Lead Hancock a Super hero cursed to live insides his own Cinemasins video. Ding, Ding, Ding"
So accurate.
I kinda like this movie. If it would've been more coherent about what it was even trying to be, I think people would look back on it much more fondly. We could use more original superhero movies.

"but he is like a pet to me" hahaha, invincible rocks.
Do a trailer for Constantine (2005). Do it for Keanu Reeves.
Great shout.
Hancock was just going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.

Please do TBBT. I've been asking for years.

I had forgotten how much I love this movie. It's hilarious and the twist end somehow makes it more endearing to me. Hancock, the hero you love to hate, but still feel sorry for.
This movie...great premise and the first half-hour is great. Then it just...I can't imagine this was really anyone's vision for this story.
140 million isn't low budget lmao
I actually enjoyed this movie, it wasn't bad.
This film is so torn by its elements of satire against its elements of genuineness that I'm not too surprised looking back and realizing why I didn't really get into it. Still, deserves props even looking back for some elements like just the opening alone.
I felt if they went all out on the initial premise of what if Superman was this drunk rude guy who nobody liked and was more trouble than he was worth it would have been better.
its
I unironically love this movie- I liked the 3rd act twist, and felt like it had an emotional ending.
Same.
I remember finally watching it and halfway through thinking “why did everyone say this movie is a mess?” By the end I was like “oh, yeah”.
The way he slaps that nice man on the stage was a weird twist
Amnesia caused by trauma is very real. You would be surprised how we can repress and compartmentalize memories, especially after being benzoed.
@Shawn Bechard I'm sorry for whatever trauma made you so stupid.
@Mrsalty101 But your Bran flakes are stale, so I don't see how adding extra raisins is going to help anything.
But it wasn't repressing or compartmentalizing. The movie explains he was hit in the head while he was vulnerable with her.
You should do Reynolds/Ferrell Spirited next!!!!

Poor Will, suffering at the hands of the Lizard People for all time now.
I'm surprised Honest Trailers is just getting to this movie now...although the Oscar slap certainly warrants it!

Hancock actually has promising idea. Well the story a bit confusing because of so many points & Jason Bateman’s character heart campaign was too cheesy

His wife got teased not him.
I actually liked the idea that they get paired off and lose their super powers. Loved it from the start, though I was sure it's not your typical popcorn flick.
@Lisa Huber Still sounds awfully convenient.
I would have liked a small montage about their past, would've been cool.
@Lisa Huber yeah, this "honest" trailer is incredibly inaccurate. Like it was written by someone who didn't actually watch the movie.
@Brian Michael Finn I always thought "close" doesn't mean distance wise but intimate instead.
It's basically the uno reverse card to the superheroes/beings teaming up to be stronger trope, I liked it too. Having to choose between your powers and the person you're supposed to be with could have been played out a bit better in the movie, but I like the idea.
Okay thank you for including that scene, I keep seeing versions of this movie where they cut out the part where he hooks up in his trailer, and screams “Mountain top… MOUNTAIN TOP!” And throws the girl off him 😂😂😂 I was starting to think I made it up 😅
They should've made a sequel to this. Classic in my eyes.
Please say "Bro u gotta hit puberty twice to get a voice like this, and you haven't even hit it once".
This is the hawk man and hawk girl story line

John Powell did the score, and the track Death and Transfiguration is one of my all-time favorites
"We're the last of God's angels. The others paired up and died centuries ago."
@Kiss Kitty You misinterpreted my comment REEEEEE
No there really isn't an explanation of what they are. Just super powered beings. They were called different things throughout history. Gods, Angels, Witches, and with Hancock Superhero.
When I first read the concept of hancock, I thought it was great. Superman, but not raised by ma and pa Kent. Maybe even raised in the inner city, and trying to keep his powers secret. Thats not what we got. Justice league Gods and Monsters was actually the closest to what I was hoping for with Zod being raised in Mexico.
What about a Wednesday honest trailer?!?
