Hancock is an ... well, 'asshole' comes to mind ... for everyone who sees him in action. He's a superhero with a really bad attitude. Anyway, along comes this truly nice guy, a failed PR manager who's trying to sell the concept of giving to corporates (lol, no wonder he fails!) and trying to convince them to help the world.
Hancock saves him. That nice guy changes Hancock's public image and that nice guy's wife turns out to be a superwoman counterpart to Hancock. Sounds like fun? It is, kinda ... but it misses out on something essential. Something we probably value more than frankness vs. good PR - Heart.
The movie doesn't have heart. Will Smith is probably to blame for this - he's grumpy and lazy throughout the movie, mumbling and looking bored. Can't energize an audience trying to play it cool, Mr.Smith, not that cool anyway.
The heroine dresses skimpily and inappropriately and makes hungry eyes at Hancock all the time behind her husband's back and treats her precious hubby like an idiot ... what's with all this? Cuckolding is angelic now??? Still, if you can swallow this americanized marriage-for-convenience bullshit as gospel; and that the true way to live is repressed-superherodom, then you might like the movie.

Lol, you said it.:)
I did not see this movie.
I have much respect for mr Will Smith acting and his no nonsence attitute,may be he must be carefull in selecting his role which will give him credit.
His role in"i am legend"has touched me much,and that movie script has much to do with what we are undergoing in vaccines business.it is down to basics for me.
