#HonestTrailers 
Krátké a kreslené filmy
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?"
Funny thing Superman 3 had a few scenes like that.
@@TripleT706 Superman was a REALLY mean drunk.
Yeah, that was the plot of Megamind.
Everyone asks who is superman but no one asks how is superman
@@CSHummer Yeah, I mean what if after Injustice when Lois gets killed he just became like this?
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
@@The_Muffin_Man 60 percent of the time, it works everytime
Rumor has been for a long time that it was two movies that they just kind of smushed together. That's why the last bits feel like they're from a different movie.
@@johnofthenorth6653 That's an interesting theory, and I actually like it
The main villain was kinda dumb. I mean nobody knew about Hancocks movie. What were they gonna do if the bullets didn't work? At least at the bank they had hostages.
@@johnofthenorth6653 I'll choose to believe this rumor, thank you 😄
Hancock feels like two scripts they just wedged into one film.
That's a perfect description of it.
That is how Picth Meeting described the movie too
I'm 90% sure it literally IS 2 movie scripts smashed together. At the very least, I heard that rumor not long after it came out.
@@austinkoos6842
It’s true. They got halfway through before changing over directors, and you can tell the first half is a much stronger movie
'cause that's literally what happened
I'd really love for someone to take another stab at this movie someday, because there's just so much potential
What do you mean?
Surely the hero- not a hero thing has been done now with Deadpool.
Agreed 💯
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.
....a bit like Captin Clyde.
Now, there's an obscure reference.
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.
Like he said the 3rd act skybeam hadn't been invented yet
I agree. From the reviews I expected to hate it, but the beginning was really good. Then they got into that ridiculous bit about his twin, lover , whatever and it just went off the rails.
yeah true, the first act was really good
It really was! And then they thought, nah, let's take a massive left turn for the 2nd act then work on a totally different movie for the finale!
It tried something different for sure. It decided to put the movie and its lame sequel into the same movie! 😜😂
“I do love your father but… he’s more like a pet to me”
that’s pure genies right there
Omni Man reference done at perfection.
Couldn't have phrased it better
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.
Women eh? (just kidding...) 😎
@@bigd7696 u don't have to be kidding dude, because it is what it is ..
I think the whole reason she didn't do that is because Hancock would find her and they would be doomed.
I think it's more about finding purpose and fulfillment in life. He always wanted to be a hero and help people. Being a blank slate at the bottom of society, he still followed this aspiration. She, on the other hand, always wanted a simpler life and family. And Ray saved both, helping the first to fit into society and becoming a new family for the second. So here nothing to criticize.
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!
Maybe for another run-of-the-mill superhero movie. The problem isn't the twist itself, the problem is that:
a) It comes out of nowhere
b) It has absolutely nothing to do with everything that took place in the first 2 acts
The result is that you have the feeling of watching two different movies stitched together. And since it abandons the original theme, plot and narrative you'll end up with lose ends and an unsatisfying ending. You just got to the point where you enjoy the concept of a grumpy and raunchy superhero that does things his own way and are eager to see where his character arc gets him - and BOOM all of a sudden it's a cheesy love story and Hancock transforms into an ordinary superhero with a slightly different kryptonite. That twist could have worked for a Superman movie but not one that is all about establishing an anti-hero, which, remind you, was a refreshing thing back then in 2008.
Hancock is the film everyone forgot about but has the ideas everyone uses.
Homelander: You guys are the real heroes.
Hancock: Good job.
Except Hancock actually means it.
@@LaniakeaDenizen that's why he doesn't give some fake one-liner like homelander
@@LaniakeaDenizen 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.
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.
I liked it
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.
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.
@@caistigh2062 the average joe villian was good because you wouldn't expect that when you first start the movie.
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.
You either loved this movie or hated it. I loved it and wished they'd made a sequel.
Everyone love movie #1 and hate movie #2 in this mess.
I don't like when people say this sort of thing. I had missed feelings about this movie, and it sure seems like a lot of other people do to.
It's watchable but feels like an unfinished product. A better cut could improve it dramatically.
How? I thought it was ok but when they make Hancock a genuine hero, the film's quality begins to tank and the third act with the whole sister thing feels out of nowhere. They had a good idea and didn't fully execute on it.
I liked it too but don't want a sequel. Specially since it's not a "hero saving the world" kind of movie but more on personal stuff. It's what I liked about tobey's spiderman movies, the first two anyways.
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
I love this movie. I always lamented that there wasn't ever a sequel.
🎯
it's a good thing there is no sequel
Not everything needs to be a franchise or a series
Stand-alone films is something that's extremely lacking in modern blockbusters and cinema in general
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.
Didn't they form that alliance though the moment he got shot and was in the hospital? That's a clear indicator he's lost power
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.
He was in the hospital... I'm guessing him having lost his powers was pretty clear.
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 loved the movie except for that part. The final with the thugs... made no sense.
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
It actually did well at the box office (#1 in world 2 weeks in a row), critics weren't a fan though.
It was one of the biggest movies of the year despite being garbage. It outgrossed Iron Man. That's Will Smith's star power for you.
It did rake in bags tho
An animated adaptation would be cool tho but will smith....yh
@@nikkilee3840 Nah, I like Hancock
@@renlevy411 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.
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.
Yeah, I mean unpopular opinion but I liked this movie. It's unconventional and I think that's a good thing.
I liked it too. Also, the soundtrack was awesome
@@BMFstudiosNYC Like she says in the movie, "it usually takes longer" so they don't lose their powers immediately every time they are close.
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.
@@BMFstudiosNYC I always thought "close" doesn't mean distance wise but intimate instead.
I really enjoyed the movie. It was fun and original at the time.
Its still pretty original I think.
This is actually one of my favorite movies. I wish the whole movie was just Hancock being a dick to people.
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
@@ineedpowers5151 it's a joke
Hancock was just going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
Hellsing abridged reference,...... Neat.
I understood that reference.
A man of culture
Throw the woods !
Not gonna lie, loved this movie.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁
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.
Hancock is the kind of a plan that you write at 4:00 a.m. after watching a motivational video then realize it's absolute garbage the next day
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.
its
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.
A prequel of Hancock would be amazing!
Riiiiiight?
No.
I really liked this movie, wish they came out with another.
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.
ugh, it was such a let down.
Yep, it was so close
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.
The movie that gave two for one movie rental a new meaning.
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.
Honest trailers is at its best when it does older films 👏👏👏
Films at their best...
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.
👌👍👍👍
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.
I can only see Micheal Bluth and Rita, happily ever after.
There's plenty of couples like that in real life where one of the partners "won by default"
@@John_C_J MR. F
The movie seems to indicate Theron really does care about Bateman.
Theron's character wanted to stay with Bateman's.
There is no 'default' there. Hancock could've come back after they both healed.
I love it when he said "it's hancockin' time. Truly one of the films ever made
I unironically love this movie- I liked the 3rd act twist, and felt like it had an emotional ending.
Same.
I weirdly actually like Hancock but mostly I think because I like Jason Bateman a lot
The cinema sins bit was priceless 😂
Thanks for the great breakdown! Really enjoy seeing your perspective and great comedy along the way
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.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁
the cinema sins joke tho 😂
Ding*
No love lost
After 4 years of waiting, comes an honest trailer that everyone forgot they needed...
Hancock needs to be brought into the Boys universe, so he can show them how it's done.
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.
@@verakoo6187 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.
"Will I get in trouble for that?"
"Yes!"
I laughed at that way more than I probably should have.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
They didn't say the battles were with each other. And in fact during that line they showed Hancock fighting a thug, not his wife.
@@HuginMunin 2:48 He doesn't say it explicitly, but from context and his pause you can confer he thinks they always fight each other.
@@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.
im so happy we no longer in the era where EVERY SINGLE shot has to have camera wobble/moving especially on close ups of people talking
Are u sure though ? I still see it pretty often
The Hindi Dub of this movie was killer. Back then dubs had their own different vibe going on.
The whale throwing scene will always be funny!
He called that kid thickness!
i actually love this movie
Same bro 😓 but... I really wish it was reboot and i dunno. Make it look cool and make sense
I feel like this movie would have been great if it leaned more into the main premise
I actually enjoyed this movie, it wasn't bad.
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.
"Lead Hancock a Super hero cursed to live insides his own Cinemasins video. Ding, Ding, Ding"
So accurate.
John Powell did the score, and the track Death and Transfiguration is one of my all-time favorites
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 😅
'I was legend'
Ouch, I think even Hancock felt that burn.
I was legend, now I am simp
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!!
I had already assumed that Hancock had an honest trailer by screen junkies until this.
Vince Gilligan definitely redeemed himself with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. We all have our off days!
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.
Do a trailer for Constantine (2005). Do it for Keanu Reeves.
Great shout.
I actually loved this movie! It was before all this, feel bad for the bad guys started getting put into scripts.
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?”
First Nostalgia Critic, now this.
These channels never let me down. :D
Pitch Meeting nailed it with this too. 🤣
@@danavixen6274 Yeahyeahyeah!
@@danavixen6274 Nailing it is TIGHT!
@@danavixen6274 they made it look super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Nostalgia critic did an amazing cover of the wall you should check it out...
That Cinemasins reference was golden 😂
“Random bystanders would be excellent at Cinemasins.”
*ding*
I personally loved this movie. It was a mess, but the concept was so good that it just made me overlook all the discrepancies.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁.
Will Smith always slappin' out the hits.
I can't wait to see her in the new Dr Strange movies. I'm going to assume it's the same character until told otherwise, then I shall live in denial and insist they are.
Also, 50 points for the 'he's like a pet to me' joke.
I forgot Charlize Theron was in this movie, in fact I forgot this movie exists. Yes, Clea could be her.
Hi there 😄 Thank you for watching! *I've picked you amongst my random contest winners please write me on my official TELEGRAM above* ✍🏻..
I really like the concept for this movie it just doesn't quite stick the landing it needed a bigger budget and some rewrite fixes and this could have been a really cool multi-picture success.
Wait….. what……. Hancock came out when Ironman came out?!?!?!?
I was in high school! Going to the mall to watch movie without telling with your friends was a whole journey!
Well since you guys want to go back into the superhero genre, can I get an honest trailer Daredevil Netflix series?
Hear hear.
Hancock was two movies juxtaposed into one: the first movie was fun, humorous, and awesome, while the second was a hot mess.
The first half of the movie was pretty solid, like they knew exactly what the whole story was going to be about. The last half they seemingly wrote themselves into a corner and didn't know what do to with the rest of the story.
Hi there 😄 Thank you for watching! *I've picked you amongst my random contest winners please write me on my official TELEGRAM above* ✍🏻..
He was a legend. We just feel sorry for the guy now.
You do?
Everyone makes mistakes - he slapped Chris Rock, apologised and is already making movies again.
Will Smith is the last guy to feel sorry for - he has already moved on.
@@jeverydk 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.
@@deensaid7762 nah. Learn to forgive and move on. Life is better that way
if the movie would have came out today it would have been a hit... thats all ima say
That's the most realistic picture of an American citizen getting powers
PETITION FOR HANCOCK 2!!!!! WILL SMITH!!!???? I actually enjoyed this movie a lot, and found the twist super emotional and surprising!!!! The juxtaposition with Bateman’s unwavering, pure ideals was refreshing too.
The way he slaps that nice man on the stage was a weird twist
"but he is like a pet to me" hahaha, invincible rocks.
This movie is amazing I don't care what anyone says. Vince, we need a sequel asap!
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁.
Actually really like this film. Superhero film told in a unique way, with a love triangle that painlessly ends before it even begins.
Male lead: We must be in love!
Female lead: No, we're not.
Male lead: You sure?
Female lead: ...yes. I'm married and love my husband. You and I used to date, but it ended badly and we're not doing that again.
Male lead: Oh. Okay.
Charlize Theron was just so gorgeous in this movie ❤
I still remember when I saw this movie and first and she reveals her powers and wears that black suit damnnnnnn ❤️
*A superhero cursed to live inside of his own Cinemasins video* you guys are amazing 🤣❤
About half of this film is one of the best deconstructions of the superhero genre in cinema. And then the twist...
Nothing really to say, but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Please say, “Darcy’s acting of the trailer was impeccable” in your epic voice.
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.
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...
The only superhero drunker than Thor XD
Valkyrie? Tony (in the comics), Carol Danvers (in the comics)
Iron Man?
Thor doesn’t get drunk. He gets hammered.
@@doomy_mcdoomerson I thought he gets Norse-d
Jessica Jones?
This movie hurts me so much to watch, it had it all to be a hit
It still made a lot of money. Blockbuster. People just left common sense home and enjoyed
Common sense, narrative cohesion, consistent of tone and character motivations, character relatability... Any sensible adult would have had to leave all that stuff at home to have enjoyed it. Otherwise it's pretty forgettable by the end.
@@djsejwal2 wished a sequel came out that time to actually stick the Landing
@@RossAllaire I saw this movie when I was 10 and even then, it was hard for me to finish it
@@edmilsonlennon2866 oho, what refined taste you must have 😂
still pissed this movie never got a sequel. i loved the chemistry between will smith and charlize theron and just wanted one more movie of it. with the right writer and world building this could have become a franchise
This honest trailer slaps harder then Will Smith on Oscar night.
Never realized that Michael did get to do Rita after all
"Rita CORNY Michael!"
Would love an honest trailer for every Errol Flynn movie
i actually loved the third act twist. and Charlize Theron? SHEEEESH
Yeah she fine in this, especially when she went dark. Oh man...
Besides the fact that honest trailers always makes me happy, I think I'm also glad I've never watched Hancock. 😆
Tried to do something different with genre and somewhat succeeded. It was very refreshing for a while and the ending went overboard. Overall, just about watchable.. so much potential.
Hi there 😄 Thank you for watching! *I've picked you amongst my random contest winners please write me on my official TELEGRAM above* ✍🏻.
I *LOVE* this movie.
