Food – I don’t actually remember
More comic book adaptation fun for the month of July and up next is the anti-hero homeless guy they call Hancock Though presumably tired of watching more superhero movies, the theme for this summer blockbusters seem to be “anything you can do I can do better”. But does Hancock really make you feel that way?
Most Hobos preferred Nike to Addidas
The movie focuses on Hancock (Will Smith) of whom is a superhero living in Los Angeles. But unlike most superhero’s who have cool mansions and adored by the public, Hancock is quite the opposite. No home, no money and badly in need of a shower, Hancock goes about his business fighting crime and saving people in the most unconventional of ways (mostly because he’s drunk half the time). He then comes across Ray (Jason Bateman of Arrested Development) whom he saves from almost certain death-by-train-accident. Feeling in debt to Hancock, Ray decides to help Hancock improve his public persona by tutoring him in the art of Public Relations. Giving it shot, Hancock then decides to let himself be locked up in prison which would then increase crime rate in LA as he is not around to help. Brilliant eh?
Apart from some pretty supernatural fighting scenes, Hancock just drags on and on. Hancock seems to be able to do pretty much anything, though never really specifying what his actual powers are. Although it might be refreshing to see a superhero that doesn’t really know what he’s doing half the time fight crime, the commodity does ware-off after a while. Most people would end up watching this movie by default as the choices would be either Hancock or Made of Honor (unless you’re a girl). There’s even Charlize Theron in this one and she even looked too good to be in this film. Being a Will Smith movie, at least you’ll know that fun and laughs are up for grabs. Sadly in terms of superhero hall of fame, Hancock would be sitting on the bench outside the hall. The movie is a fun filled rollercoaster to nowhere and you would probably watch it then sneak into Made of Honor in cinema hall 2.
Rating – 3.2/5
It kinda made me – wanna watch more Charlize Theron movies. Meooww.

Dude i finally watched han'd'cock... haha i thought it wasn't bad, i enjoyed it, but thought it got kinda complicated when charlize turned out to be 'super' as well... haha... i didn't like how they 'skimmed' on the explanation about what they are, "we were built in twos/pairs (something like that)" but they didn't actually say much else... WTF?
But you got it right man, Charlize was definitely money!... she looked yummyyyyy....
I agree to disagree.
