Much less than I had expected. Disappointed.

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2008)

People,
Even though that I won't go into such drastic comments as some people suggest that this movie is crap etc, I would say that this movie (which started off in Latvia 2 days ago) is MUCH WORSE than I had expected from film and from Will Smith personally.
If I compare with the current box office hit WANTED I would rather go 3rd time to see WANTED than any more on HANCOCK.
Simple argumentation - while WANTED delivers much more than it's trailer (regardless of the script quality speculations which appear here on IMDb). The HANCOCK actually delivers much less than it's trailer, or better say - it almost has no more anything interesting inside.
Basically what you see in the HANCOCK trailer is 90% of the coolness you see in that film. And if you are serious action/comedy fan in the term of the films like "MEN IN BLACK 1/2" - this film is clearly a weak weak underperformer of such genre.
Most of the film deals with HANCOCK being lonely, how he is unhappy and how a PR manager tries to get his life back. The film starts to teach us from the face of Hancock how we should care about the people, and how bad is drinking etc. While in general may be it's not such a bad thing. There is not much more of an action, than in the trailer. It's clearly NOT enough for this film to be a strong ACTION/FX/COMEDY contender.
I wouldn't say if you SHOULD or SHOULDN'T GO to cinema. If you are a fan of Will Smith - then you could probably still see it, but I tell you very honestly (being a fan of a genre and Smith myself) - this film is a serious underperformer! I will not go to see it again or buy on DVD (which I definitely do with IRON MAN and WANTED).
