“Hancock” Movie Review

“Hancock” Plot Summary

A hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who’s trying to repair his image.

This deserves some credit

Perhaps I’m being generous, but I think this movie deserves some credit. It’s a serious take on a dysfunctional superhero that isn’t based upon a Marvel Comics or DC Comics character. The special effects aren’t as good as a movie like Transformers, but at least you aren’t getting an animated CGI character hopping around like you do in Hulk and Spiderman. It appears that several elements of this movie may be inspired by the now defunct Broadway Comics. The classic scene of a car being skewered on a spire was depicted in the ‘Powers That Be’ comic and the dysfunctional marriage relationship in the movie is not unlike the ‘Shadow State’ comic by Broadway. Perhaps seeing similar depictions hit the big screen made me appreciate the movie more

Will Smith and Charlize Theron do a great job. The hero is flawed, but he’s not a wimp. The movie’s biggest weakness is the pacing. Some of the special effects go by so fast that you don’t get to appreciate them. Some of the drama plays out so slowly that you might be wondering why they don’t rush it along. The movie is faithful to the trailer. It’s tough writing a spoiler-free review of this since there are some great twists in the plot.

    Excellent Jet Li Film, That Is Really Intense, With Lots Of Great Action And Fantastic Performances!

    This is an excellent Jet Li film, that is really intense, with lots of great action, and fantastic performances!. This is a really intense film, that actually has quite a few shocking moments, and pulls no punches, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this!. Theis film really has some fantastic fight scenes, in it and the plot and story was really cool, plus i found the ending very touching!. I was really rooting for the 2 main characters as Tcheky Karyo is actually frightening as the main villain, and wanted to see what was coming to him!, plus it also had some good dialog!. The character development isn’t too bad, and the finale is great and full of action, plus, i was really surprised by all the violence!. This is an excellent Jet Li Film that is really intense, with lots of great action, and fantastic performances!. The Direction is great!. Chris Nahon does a great job here, with excellent camera work, great shots during the action scenes, and really keeping the film at a fast pace!. There is actually quite a bit of blood and violence!. We get harsh bloody beating, bloody gunshot wounds, bloody gunshot wound to the head with blood and brains splattering,bloody stabbings,decapitation, chopsticks in neck, and a very nasty death scene at the end which i won’t spoil. The Acting is fantastic!. Jet Li is AMAZING as always, and is AMAZING here, he does not speak much, but he is very believable, likable, had very good chemistry with Bridget Fonda, kicked that ass, and was just amazing overall (Jet Rules!). Bridget Fonda is very beautiful and is excellent as the prostitute, she is very likable, had very good chemistry with jet and i was rooting for her all the way to get her daughter back!. Tcheky Karyo is extremely menacing as the main villain, and at times frightening he was awesome!. Rest of the cast are good. Overall a must see for everyone!. ****1/2 out of 5
