Product Description:
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.
Amazon.com:
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

For me i thought the movie was a really different super hero movie for me. Will Smith starts off as a bum, being a super hero he "sorta" saves the day in his own ways. He ends up saving a man who then befriends and tries to change his reputation from the society he helps. Overall i thought the movie was very good and i like the story line. I just felt there were a few things left out. I also did notice on the blu ray dvd version the sound was distorted at some points where the sound was supposed ... Read More

"Hancock" stars Will Smith as a sarcastic, hard-living, misunderstood superhero whose clumsy destructiveness has become a costly nuisance to municipalities and the public in general. When Hancock saves publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from a train crash, wrecking the whole train in the process, Ray wants to return the favor by giving Hancock a personality makeover. Hancock's life and reputation are given a solid public relations redo and all seems to be OK again until he meets Ray's wife (Charlize ... Read More

In the many years of big budget super hero movies there are a few that stand out as being the absolute best of the best. Since I cannot seriously say that any movie licensed from Marvel or DC Comics is better than this movie, then this movie is the best super hero movie of all time. This movie tells the story of a man who is down on his luck, nobody likes him and he does not even know who he is. A man in public relations takes notice of him after he is saved by the hero and changes his image into something ... Read More

It's excellent movie. The story is good and computer graphic effect is great. It's nicely done. Couple of scenes are good and fun. The main character is good. I enjoyed the movie. I never disappointed this movie.

For what purpose did they find to reveal the supposed big twist as the key art for this DVD release?!
Having seen the movie in theaters only at this point, I did not see the twist coming, however as a home release I guess the suspense is now gone.
I did enjoy the film for the purpose it served. Summer blockbuster fare.
