"i've lived for a very long time...and the one thing i learned...fate doesn't decide everything.people get to choose".

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2008)

this comment refers to the unrated version. i think this move was better than i expected,and different.Will Smith plays the title character,a boozy,rude semi bum,who just happens to be be a super hero and who only reluctantly helps people and usually end up doing a lot of damage in the process.he's pretty much hated by everyone.that's basically the beginning premise of the movie.you can probably predict what happens from there,but you might not predict how it gets to that point.there's a very surprising twist,that i wouldn't have seen coming 100 miles away.i felt there was some depth to the story and to Hancock,as well as some other characters.there are some really touching moments,as well.the tone is not exactly lite,but not quite dark,either.it's somewhere in the middle and sometimes a bit of both.it's not epic or anything,but i found it enjoyable.for me,Hancock is a 7/10
