Hancock

[PaulsRightNut]

how did the blond chick get her ears pierced?

[WordzandDreamz]

This movie has already dropped 36% since it opened.

[brentkid]

I still want to see this despite all the negative things I've been hearing.

[colorlesscliche]

This movie has already dropped 36% since it opened.

Ouch. I heard on the news it was the biggest opening of the year though.

[FondestMemory]

that dropping 36% doesn't mean anything yet. it only opened on wednesday. movies that open on a wednesday are generally gonna have a dropoff on thursday. if people aren't excited enough to see it on opening day, then they have no problem waiting until the weekend.

so basically, it dropped 36% on thursday. that was before any numbers were in on friday. if it's still dropping when friday's numbers are in, then it's in trouble.

[tait]

didn't like the movie at all really, only good part was bateman.

[WordzandDreamz]

I love Bateman. In everything.

[AshesAshes]

I love Bateman. In everything.

I hated his character in Juno

[myantiyou]

I enjoyed the first half of the movie, than after that I didnt like it.

Yup.

[colorlesscliche]

Numbers?

[allthruwinter]

That movie was hilarious. I went into it thinking it wouldn't be that great actually, but it was REALLY good.

[Ailite]

I think I might be sitting this one out

[drudo182]

I will be seeing it sometime today. Hope it's somewhat fun.

[jdark6]

Just saw it tonight, and considering some people have been really harsh about it, it really was quite good! Although it seemed to end quite suddenly for me. Dunno if I just got really into it and lost my concept of time but..seem to cut off..preparing for a possible sequel maybe ?

[drudo182]

It wasn't too bad but I didn't love it. I really enjoyed Bateman and I loved how Peter Berg had a few cast members of Friday Night Lights in it as well, especially Brad Leland but he wasn't in it too much.

Right now I'd give it a 3/5 but with some time and thought, it might drop down. The final act was pretty bad. I wonder what the original version was.

[drudo182]

Oh, I also forgot another thing. They played a Ryan Adams song in it. He is the greatest and that made my day hearing him in a movie again.

[FondestMemory]

yeah, i heard that too.

i'm not a big ryan adams fan by any means, but when i like a song, i really really love it.

and that's one of the songs that i love.

[drudo182]

yeah, i heard that too.

i'm not a big ryan adams fan by any means, but when i like a song, i really really love it.

and that's one of the songs that i love.

Yay! "Two" is an amazing song. I love Easy Tiger. Probably my favorite Adams disc to date.

[FondestMemory]

i think rock n roll is the one i like the most songs off of.

[drudo182]

i think rock n roll is the one i like the most songs off of.

I love that one as well. Do Miss America has always been a favorite of mine. That one gets way too much heat. Don't get it.

[anxangelsxcry]

would anyone be so kind as to reveal Hancocks plotline...villain, any twists, etc...as much detail as youd like.

Im not entirely a fan of peter berg or will smith, OR Charlize Theron....but I am deeply curious as to what it is about...

thanks in advance

[FondestMemory]

it's the first movie in a long time that actually had a twist that i did not see coming at all.

[anxangelsxcry]

someones gotta tell me what went down in this misterioso movie

[rob_mylo]

i still need to see this

[goodnewsgeorge]

it's the first movie in a long time that actually had a twist that i did not see coming at all.

definitely

BUT-- they could've done without it
I caught it last night and I thought the movie started off really well, then about midway it lost its steam (mostly because of the twist) :S

[FondestMemory]

i hated the twist at first, but i think they did a relatively nice job working it out to where it makes sense. i don't think it was as bad as people make it out to be.

i just wanna see the director's cut. i have a hard time believing that the original cut of the film didn't make it make even more sense.

i loved it, personally. but i'm incredibally stoked for the dvd release because i think it'll be even that much better.

[Roboman]

To be honest, I was hardly surprised when Charlize threw Hancock and the fridge through the house. I knew there had to be something between them by the way they were always looking at each other. Not to mention that based on the trailer, I knew there had to be something more than petty thieves to fight.

Anyway, I enjoyed the movie and was glad that the outcome was happy and everything was explained (even if that explanation was a little...ehhh. But I'll let it slide).

[vandalsandquinn]

I was able to figure out the twist which kinda made it lame, but I enjoyed it pretty much

[Chris Fallon]

The twist was expected - they gave it away in the trailer. Overall, it seemed rushed by the end which kind of took away from it, but the first hour was so funny - "Because I've been drinkin', bitch!"

Smith really did great on presenting a character that is a dickhead but still fun to watch and like; playing on his good guy personality was really cool to see.

With that said, the finale seemed executed much quicker than I had thought, I wasn't a big fan of the twist and I could tell they had to cut a lot out. There were lots of dialogue where theyy made mention of things that hadn't happened like we saw them. Director's cut will be much better.

[airik625]

I kind of want to see it again. I think there is a double feature at out local drive-in showing this then Wall-E. I think I shall do that.

[Anthony Lutz]

Yeah, I also didn't understand why Hancock was able to be around Charlize, but still had his powers, only until they were around each other "when it mattered" did they lose their powers. Also, if the process is slow for them to become mortal, why was it that as soon as they started getting farther apart was she able to regain a pulse?

[FondestMemory]

early estimates have it at 107mil since opening tuesday night.

8 mil tuesday. 17 mil each day for wed and thur. and just under 67 for the weekend.

no bomb.

[King of Town]

I actually really liked this movie. I don't know, Smith and Bateman just had this crazy awesome chemistry.

"Thanks, kid."
"Aaron."
"Your mom's callin' you."

exactly what i would say. i was very let down by this movie

[fadedmemories]

its a fun movie and will smith acting like an ass felt natural :-D

thats more or less how i feel about it. i think i remember hearing that they re-edited it after showing it a Cannes or something and the last half seems hacked up a fair amount. but the first half is quality

[Drew Beringer]

Saw it this afternoon, I'd give it a good 5.5-6 outta 10.

[Drew Beringer]

You should sue McDonalds cause they've fucked you all up.

[popdisaster00]

You should sue McDonalds cause they've fucked you all up.
hahahah

I want to see the dirtier, longer version of this. for what i saw, 8/10 - all thanks to berg.

[airik625]

'I've been drinking, BITCH"

[popdisaster00]

some of the jail scenes were awesome.

ie. head up his ass.

[C-C-C-Catie]

I saw it last night, and found it to be an interesting twist on the typical superhero movie. Maybe it will change the genre?

It had some great action scenes/funny moments, but there were a lot of plot holes that left me with too many questions in the end. Will Smith's acting was great, some of his facial expressions were priceless.

[FondestMemory]

i love the movie, but it's not changing any genres.

[Protested Hero]

It was very good, but something did seem to be missing at points.

[fluke182]

My review: very entertaining but pointless. It felt like there was no reason for it to exist, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

[airik625]

As long as I enjoyed it and had a good time, then I'm alright with it. I mean it's not like it was a great movie, but was enjoyable and that's all that really matters.

[dai the flu]

since i'll probably never see this, somebody tell me what the twist is.

[Festivus]

I saw it last night. I loved the first half of the movie, but after the twist everything seemed to fall apart. I enjoyed it still, and I would really like to see a director's cut.

[airik625]

I actually want to see this movie again. I might go soon.

[googirl8907]

I actually enjoyed this movie.

[FondestMemory]

$165 million after 13 days.

so much for the people thinking this would be a bomb.

[altemose09]

is it worth 10 bucks?
i'm going to see it in an hour unfortunately

[shes.a.ghost]

I thought it had some entertaining moments, but I definitely don't think it was a good movie.

[CstSnow]

This movie fits the definition of a popcorn flick perfectly. Fun, mindless, something you dont have to invest alot in, nothing more nothing less.

[fantasma]

This movie hurt me inside.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

I think it was a good movie, My only complaint is that it presented you with a crazy concept but it just really didn't explain to you how it all came to be in the first place. It sort of let you draw your own conclusions, which I think is why so many people have decided that it was a poor film. People like to have everything explained to them and not just decide for themselves how it all came about.
I think it was a good movie, and people should not just dismiss this movie because its lacks a complete story

[altemose09]

luckily i didn't have to see it then. i will check it out when it hits stores though.
