- Will Smith explodes into the screen in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public.

Reviews (5) of Hancock
super chuckles, super time. - Hancock review by CP Customer
This is almost a film in two halfs. The first a out and out comedy showing off Mr Smiths undoubtably iconic talents. Lots of hillarious scenes and laugh out loud moments.
The second half of the film takes a more action based slant. Where our hero 'hancock' finally finds the villain of the piece.
Special effects are out of this world and the acting, by all the lead players is also on form.
This is a traditional, warm family film with a not so subtle moral at the end...........if we believe in ourselves and others, the world would be a better place. I sentiment, in this day and age, i think we can all learn from.

Superman with an attitude - Hancock review by CP Customer
Really enjoyed this movie. A superhero with an attitude but we all knew he would come good in the end. Good clean fun.

Unusual idea - Hancock review by JD
The plot is basic but different. It starts with a superhero who is uncouth, destructive and unpopular. You can guess how the plot goes from there and you would be right. Will Smith plays it well but could have spent his time better.
