It still turned into your average run of the mill action sequence that was aimed at bringing the film to appeal to a bigger audience. Say what you want but it definitely accomplished that. | | Static Link |

I agree but I think crappiest is just not right word. There are worse movies that have been made this year but it definitely is one of if not the most disappointing film of the year as it was rife with potential and could've been an innovative entry in the superhero genre. Unfortunately the went with a crowd pleasing studio friendly second half the was one of the biggest letdowns I've had at the movies in sometime. | | Static Link |

Forum: Movie List | | I saw it on some pirated handicam version on the way to a a friend's cottage and I was not amused. It may not be one of the worst films but it is pretty bad. It starts off unique and intriguing and instead of exploring the complexities of the character further they have Hancock do an about face and consequently ruin the film. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Lestat at July 25, 2008, 8:50 pm | | Topic: I just watched the Crappiest Movie of the Year !! Forum: Movie List | | Well I saw Hancock and to be honest, I didn't think it was THAT bad. I will admit that the only movie I had been really waiting for was The Dark Knight, and that just blew everything else out of the water. J7 I definitely understand what you mean, I hate when movies get hyped up and then end up sucking. I didn't have high expectations with Hancock thank god. That's probably why I didn't hate it as much as you, because I didn't care as much. Don't let anyone tell you your opinion is wrong buddy. | | Static Link |

No one, its simple logic. To call something the worst you must first have tested all other options before coming to that conclusion. Either that or you are just looking for attention by going "omg wrst movie evar!". | | Static Link |

Haven't seen any of those except for Rambo (still I am comparing Hancock to movies I've seen this year including DVD and even the crappy Awake was better than it) and I enjoyed Rambo. I went into the Rambo movie with low expectations and the trailer didn't deceive me; it showed the movie to be exactly what it was: Rambo killing a ton of bad guys and lots of blood and guts. Hancock's trailers on the other hand... not only they were deceptive, they gave me high expectations of it!! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: red bear at July 14, 2008, 10:25 am | | Topic: I just watched the Crappiest Movie of the Year !! Forum: Movie List | | i thought Hancock wasn't that bad. not anywhere close to what Will Smith has done in the past, but that was more due to storyline than anything else. i think his acting was right on with his norms.... besides, you actually think that Hancock was worse than Rambo, Vantage Point, Semi-Pro, College Road Trip, Superhero the Movie, Prom Night, Baby Mama, Harold and Kumar, or Sex in the City ??? | | Static Link |

They advertized it as like the best movie of the year which is a bag full of lies. finally someone who agrees with me. I tried to say the same thing at IMDB and those morons over there have no brains and they like any movie as long as it's big budget Summer Crap!! This movie should not even had gotten the July 4th Exclusive Release Slot!! The people who says its awesome liked it because Will Smith can fly!! Big Whoopeedooo Deal!! By the way, I give it 0.5 out of 5 (it should had gotten a ZERO but Charlize Theron in it saved it) !! | | Static Link |

| Posted by: j7wild at July 13, 2008, 7:33 pm | | Topic: I just watched the Crappiest Movie of the Year !! Forum: Movie List | | Hancock is the crappiest movie of the year; it started out well and then went downhill as if the writers couldn't follow up and deliver with the premise they originally started so they decided to take the whole movie in a total 180 degrees different direction; furthermore, after seeing the film in its entirety, I feel the trailers that were shown before this movie's release were completely misleading and additionally, the PG-13 rating was totally wrong; it should had been rated R!! | | Static Link |
