From Enemy of the State, Men In Black, I-Robot, I Am Legend... now Will Smith in his most heroic role yet! There are heroes, there are superheroes, and then there's ... Hancock!

Hilarious it seems.

Yet another movie that says (to me, at least) wait for the video... and wait until it hits the clearance rack. I realize this is probably intended as a spoof (and least I really hope it's intended as a spoof), but I have absolutely no interest in seeing this movie.

I don't get it, but I'm sure my kids will want to see it!
The way I'm seeing it is that he's sort of a fumbling, stumbling anti-superhero. Sort of a bum on the street with extraordinary powers that just-can't-quite-get-it-right. Definitely made up for laughs, so turn off the brain for a bit and enjoy it.

I thought it looked pretty good as well. I am surprised that no one has mentioned the movie Red Belt, which is suppossed to be out in a week or two. Jiujitsu themed with a David Mamet screen play.

David Mamet movie? I'll need no-doze. His scripts are SO VERBOSE.

I personally can't wait to see Hancock. Don't like Smith's ... ah ... religious preference ... but he's entertaining.

So it is like a 2008 movie adaptation of the old t.v. show The Great American Hero? Sheesh that tv show was terrible too...lol

Well yeah but the latest clip shows that his ineptness is largely due to his being an alcoholic or at least a boozer... kinda like he just doesn't care but reluctantly goes out of his way to help... just doesn't have a fine grip on his powers ... because he doesn't care to.

I read the thread title and thought it meant Tony Hancock a well known and much loved British comedian!
