Title: EB Collective, should I skip Hancock?

The reviews have been terrible, but the trailers seemed cool.  You guys have been money this summer, providing REAL TALK of the recent summer releases.

Looks like a turd. Apparently drunk ass super power Will Smith is like less than an eighth of the movie. The rest is shitty super hero cliches with shitty CG.

Saw it.  Think about any other Will Smith summer blockbuster in the setting of a superhero.  If you're a fan of Will Smiths other movies you'll probably dig it, if you thought Independence Day and I Am Legend and all the other shit he's done was terrible, then you'll hate this one too.

Then I myself will probably like it because I don't think I've ever not liked one of his movies.

I like it in a cheesy, mindless action with cliche jokes way.  They're pretty awesome and he's just an entertaining dude.  He's the kind of black male other black celebrities should try to emulate.  And he has a rockin' bod.

It is like the kids of Fight Club, The Matrix, and Shoot Em Up all had a big orgy.  Shoot Em Up ended up getting pregnant, but no one knew who the father was, so both Fight Club and The Matrix raised it as their own.

I will go see Hellboy 2 and The Dark Knight.  And out of pure fanboy duty, The X-Files flick most likely.

i will go see hellboy 2 because rue morgue's interview made it out to be a lot better than i feared.  the original was "eh."

It's a big, noisy piece of pop trash and I totally understand why it would turn off some.  But the "worst movie ever" title is just hyperbole thrown about because of its popularity.  In reality, it was just the "worst popular movie ever" to those folks.  I mean, did you even see EPIC MOVIE?

Why would you go see Transformers when you KNOW that's the type of film you're not going to enjoy?  I don't understand that.  Cinema is too expensive to waste tickets for stuff that looks dumb to you personally.  I'm not going to go see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, despite rave reviews, because I know I probably won't enjoy it.  Same with Indiana Jones.

Spider-Man 3 was a total disappointment.  Last year sucked for blockbusters.  This has been one of the best years in awhile, though.

George lucas was all like "We aren't going to have shit like a F16 flying under a bridge, that's not our thing", i was all like "yeah", then i saw the movie and i was like "Waaaat, wtfisthistarzanshitfuckthismovie".

Okay, saw the movie. I'm kinda mixed on the situation. Like most people, I did like like the first half. Thought it was fairly humorous in a charming way for the most part. I also like the revelation of Hancock's origins. Thought it was a bit more interesting than just a mere government experiment creating a super soldier or whatever.

My negatives deal mainly from the damn plotholes that occur after the twist.

Why did Hancock get hurt when he wasn't anywhere near Charlize Theron? I mean, you would think it was instantaneous, as the ending implied when he just jumped out the hospital and quickly regained his powers. Oh, and also what was Charlize Theron going on about before the fight between her and Hancock broke out? I probably missed a crucial moment or something, but didn't she say that the reason she left was because Hancock kept interfering with her life or something?

The trailers did a really shitty job of making you that surprised about Charlize Theron's role, I mean you can fucking guess what may happen just by Hancock's statement 'I'm the only one of my kind'. This movie is very simiilar to 'Jumper' where you have a pretty interesting mythos that's present, but not given a chance to be expanded and explored. Probably the only other major issue was not having a real supervillain. God, what the hell,

that hook guy was fucking lame.

Speaking of villains, why the hell do these dumbass prisoners, who having previously been on the receiving end of Hancock's boots think that they stand any more than half a chance against this motherfucking monster? I hate it when the writers don't think of this sort of thing.

Oh, and interestingly enough, I didn't have a problem with the fact that the movie changed tones in the final act. Truth be told, I don't really understand the complaints, since I thought it was kinda similar to Spiderman in that regard. *shrug*

I think Hancock a really cool premise, just needed a tad better execution, clear up some of the conflicting issues about the powers, and get a better villain, and it would have been great. It's a helluva lot better than I am Legend, that's for sure.


All in all, Hancock > Forgetting Sarah Marshall


Btw, as you might have already guess, the prison scene was fucking stupid. Godddamn Bergmen.

I have to say I am impressed with the new art style of Jughead.  Now it's impossible to claim that it is inferior to Batman.  Bring on my Jughead movie.  Starring Matthew Lillard.
