I went in expecting an okay-ish action film with over the top CGI, but Hancock delivered on more fronts than I could have hoped.
It was very humurous at some points. Some brilliant one-liners delivered by Will Smith. A lot of funny situations too.
Amazing acting. Even the little kids were cute and believable. Will Smith is the ultimate badass in this movie. The leading lady is hot, and very realistic. The actors in this film were spot on and captured their roles more than I would have hoped.
CGI + musical score delivered some VERY uplifting moments. Simply watching Hancock take off put a smile on my face. More intense scenes were aided with very realistic CGI and complimented with inspiring music. I don't want to oversell it and make you see it with too high expectations, so i'll leave it at that.
The story is where you love it or hate it. There are some notable twists, and the story takes a path you wouldn't have expected. Depending on how you like where the producers took the story of John Hancock, you will either like or dislike this movie. I, personally, really liked it. I wont say anything, except that I enjoyed the story. Quite a bit. It gives...er..nevermind.
Final thoughts...a lot of action, over the top CGI, a lot of charm brought out by the clever and whitty script and brilliant acting.
This movie DESERVES you're 10 bucks. Go see it, and just expect what the trailers give you, and I guarentee you're expectations will be exceeded. It's a great summer film to see with your friends, but for me, it's one for the books. I really enjoyed it, and will watch it again, either in theatres (again), or on dvd.
ONE FINAL NOTE: watch it in theatres. the visual quality warrants your 10 bucks to see it on a 50 foot screen. Don't settle for some crappy pirated version selling for 4 bucks in some asian convenience store.
