WORTH WATCHING

I agree. That first trailer created a lot of hatred for the film because it was simply horrible and made Hancock look as such, but the recent trailers and spots are making a believer out of me. I don't know I'll see this opening weekend, or if Ill see it in theaters at all, but Ill see it eventually. I'm only questionable on seeing it because there are so many other good movies coming out this summer, and I could do with missing one.

I don't really know what to make of this film, trailers or no trailers. I am a big Jason Bateman fan, but the real reason I am supporting this film is because it is a blockbuster that is an ORIGINAL SCRIPT in a world full of superhero adaptations and sequels.

The CG sucks. This really looks bad. I'm surprised coming from Will Smith.

I seem to be the only one who loved the 1st trailer to premiere in the theater. I feel this movie will have some charm, the CGI may not be as good as other films but I think they put a reasonable budget because they intended this film to be "mediocre" I mean it's not trying to compete with Lord of the Rings or anything...

Looks to be a great superhero movie that isn't based on comic books, original thats a first. it will be huge because of July 4th. I really don't care about the CGI I just want good entertainment. This looks to be better than all of the Spiderman films.

Shero, if you were to ask around, Sony Imageworks' effects actually don't seem to always get positive feedback. A lot of people complained about the creatures in I Am Legend, Spider-Man 3's FX weren't that mind-blowing, Ghost Rider had a lot of bad FX, and the first Narnia I remember had terrible FX. I wonder why I liked the second Narnia better? Because they didn't use Imageworks! I don't think arguing about the visual effects in Hancock are really what's important. Not only is it a small-scale TV spot being displayed at quite a low quality, but for we all we know they might improve over time. I usually don't judge effects until I see it in theaters - because trailers are sometimes cut very earlier and aren't final.

"it's what got me to start liking Hancock more and more" I like your side, but I don't like that you're starting to hype every movie which is out there. Especially with such a lame TV ad. "Everybody be cool - YOU - be cool."

Don't worry... there are quite a few other films recently that I do not like. About to publish something on Beverly Hills Cop IV. I'm starting to find quite a few annoying projects - but this one is no longer one of them... 🙂

I'm with you. The evolution of the trailers has also made me come full circle from complete disinterest to complete anticipation...and I'll wait to judge the CGI til I see the finished product in the theatre.

I am excited because of the originality of the story and the darker tone that this movie will have versus all superhero movies...I love tormented characters that arent exactly good guys but guys we root for anyway...

It won't be hard for Hancock to be better than Spider-Man 3...that movie gargled my balls.

I've got my doubts on this. I like Will a great deal but really how unpleasant will the makers dare to make his character at the beginning? And also bearing in mind the predictability of so many films nowadays, especially the comic book blockbusters, will it really offer any kind of 'entertaining surprise' when he turns into saccharine goodness?

I think this is a very interesting concept. It's essentially about a superman who doesn't give a fuck. And honestly, if it was almost any other actor as the main role, it would be a completly different movie and everyone would be totally hyped about it. But because Will Smith is the lead, it completly changes the concept. It turns it into another, "Look at me, I'm Will Smith, see how cool I am, buy all my products" type of movie just like I robot, I am Legend, and even Hitch. It's hard to say how this will turn out. Maybe he's the perfect role for it. Maybe it'll be just another obligatory Will Smith movie.

I don't think it will be hard to make a movie that's more entertaining than Spiderman 3. Spiderman 3 was dog shit.

The reason I'm looking forward to this is because it's something that's original. It's not a sequel, a comic book or a tv show. I have high hopes for this because if this does really well then hopefully we will see more original blockbuster hopefuls next summer. I like some of the sequels but that's what the summer is becoming and it is beginning to wear a little thin in my opinion.
