This is what summer movies are all about. The movie starts out very, very funny with many great jokes (the McDonald's one was brilliant) and lots of superb action. This is really the highlight of the movie and I wish there was a little more of this in the last quarter of the movie. Then Hancock runs into a man who really wants to help him. Hancock spends some time in jail, and then comes out and acts a little more humane than he had previously. This part still very, very good. Then it is revealed that the wife of the man who helped Hancock has very similar powers to Hancock. This is when the movie gets a little iffy. It starts out very well with some very funny moments including a kitchen scene which had myself and the audience nearly in tears. The moments of emotion, depression etc. are all very good to this point, but then it gets a little bit out of hand. Entertaining, but a little too far for my liking. The connections between Hancock and this woman are way out there and this part nearly falls flat on its face, but is saved by some great emotional, heartwarming moments, some fun action, and a few laughs. The part that I was a little iffy with is just a quarter of the movie. The first three quarters are brilliant, funny, action-packed, fun and emotionally engaging. The last quarter... well, let's just say that I'm looking forward to the possible uncut edition which hopefully cleans a bit of the mess up. Don't rush out of the theatre too quickly, the final scene is just after a few credits have hit the screen, features Mike Epps, and has one very funny moment. Overall Hancock is an extremely funny, entertaining, wild ride with a last quarter that will probably be cleaned up a bit when the uncut edition hits DVD. If you're looking for some summer popcorn fun, Hancock is the movie to see! I agree with you completely on everything also... did anyone else feel like they had already seen the whole movie though just from the trailers and TV spots before seeing the actual movie? Granted the last 20 minutes or so weren't really spoiled but the rest of it I pretty much could guess what was going to happen when just by the trailers. |
