DVD Reviews of Hancock (Unrated Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Eh. Not the best, not the worst.
Summary: 3 Stars

I admit, there were some pretty good plot twists in here, but mainly, the story bored me. The only time the characters seemed to react believably were the times that Hancock was being a jerk and everybody was reacting to him. I didn't really feel any good chemistry between any of the characters. The action was average big movie stuff, same kind of things you see in lots of films, and although impressive, none of it blew my mind. I wasn't thrilled with this movie, but I might watch it again. Very average film.

DVD Review: Brainless superheroe movie ever!!
Summary: 1 Stars


This "movie" is a waste of time, so stupid plot.Half superman ,half highlander the inmortal.the superheroe hollywood movies, really sucks.
Don't waste your time .No more to say.

DVD Review: ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Summary: 5 Stars

Awesome movie, great take on what it could be like to be a superhero, great effects, blu-ray of course helps. will smith is great. plot twists great also.

DVD Review: Great film, action/comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is worth the buy especially on blu ray. The action is fantastic along with the visual effects. There are also some very funny parts and dialogue.

DVD Review: 3.5 Really - But It Has "Originality"
Summary: 3 Stars

I'm a bit offended by the urban slum theme. Gang members shooting out of a moving SUV and all that stuff makes you want to puke when you consider who may see it as a glorification of their lifestyle. But that's Hollywood's "LA" stereotype. And Hancock is your straight-off-the-drawing-board, multiple 750ml drunk...nice! Then they work it out to be a sympathetic attribute later. Beautiful!

Bill Cosby would roll over in his easy chair!

On the plus side, "Hancock" does put forth some original material, from actually killing the bad guys [unless they bounce off matresses in the Uncut version] to Hancock's "Kryptonite" so to speak. The special effects get really nice once they're through with their goofy "flying drunken superhero" bit.

The story and performances are commendable when watched through to the end. If you're not sick of being reminded of the toilet that some actual cities have become, then you may enjoy this movie...I did, in a way. I just prefer fantasy villains over jailbirds when featuring a fantasy hero - I want to be entertained and excited somewhere new, not bored and depressed in familiar territory.

The Blu-ray picture and the TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack are both fantastic.

Description of Hancock (Unrated Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Academy Award? nominee Will Smith (Best Actor, The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public. When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award? winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past.
Hancock turns the standard superhero movie inside-out: The title character (Will Smith) can fly, has superstrength, and is invulnerable, but he's also a sloppy, alcoholic jerk who causes millions of dollars in property damage whenever he bothers to fight crime. When he saves the life of a public-relations agent named Ray (Jason Bateman, Arrested Development), Ray decides to improve Hancock's image--starting by having Hancock surrender himself to the authorities and go to prison for his lawless behavior. The idea is that once he's in prison, the crime rate will go up, and people will start to realize Hancock might be of value after all. This is only the first act of Hancock--from there, the movie takes several clever turns that shouldn't be revealed. Hancock isn't a great movie (among other things, director Peter Berg overuses close-ups with a hand-held camera to a degree that may cause motion sickness), but it is an extremely entertaining one. The script, which holds together far better than most superhero movies, has a propulsive plot, good dialogue, some compassion for its characters, and even an actual idea or two. The spectacular action at least gestures towards obeying the laws of physics, which actually makes the special effects more vivid. The three leads (Smith, Bateman, and Charlize Theron as Ray's wife, Mary) deftly balance the movie's mixture of comedy, action, and drama. All in all, a smart subversive twist on a genre that all too often takes itself all too seriously. --Bret Fetzer
