Ignore the negative reviews, Hancock is Great and UnExpected !

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2008)

Here and there, I heard early reviews about the film, still went to the film without any expectations...Simply put, the film is quite good. Will Smith (dude can really carry a film), Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman give worthy performances (Charlize was hot as usual), direction by Peter Berg was good, and story wise it was OK (cool surprises in the plot), but could've been improved on some areas. Some of the dialogue/jokes were good and witty. Overall, had a good, popcorn blast-o-fun with this "action-comedy-fantasy-drama" movie.
Hancock was gripping, heartfelt, and totally unexpected! you have to go to see "Hancock" even if you don't expect a lot from this cause believe me this is movie is a hit !. You would have been surprised if it was Will Smith's first major disappointing film since "Wild Wild West". Since there was such high publicity I figured it would fall way short. However, to me I was surprised !! I ended up cheering once the credits rolled. It truly was a captivating story. Yet the CG could have been much better the story is what will stick with the audience and another hit for Will Smith!
Entertainment score: 9.8/10
