I just finished watching one of the worst films ever. It was called ‘Handjob’ or ‘Hancock’ or something or nothing,
Watching this films was like having hot wax dripped onto your balls, but not in a pleasant way either.
It’s clear to all that a long time ago the equation for making an American action film was formerly computed by the pencil necked gonad lovers of Hollywood, etc, and since then they have been endlessly churning out their same old patented sloppy garbage.
Recently, though, I’ve noticed that amazingly the standard of these films have plummeted still further into the depths of crapdom. Read no storyline, zero acting, same lame action sequences and a generous helping of gun crime, murder and genocide.
The truth is now clear to all and sundry that the film companies must be bankrolled by the arms manufacturers who fund these hour or so long adverts for their wares. In the same way that we witness one senseless murder after another, so the making of these films only serve their designed purpose. i.e, exporting violence, murder and gun crime to all corners of the planet.

Verdict: More cynical crud from the cock faces who make this kind of turdage.

I’m a big Will Smith fan, but this was one of the worst films for a long time. Nothing new at all - superhero - villain - reluctant love story etc etc.Boring. Not funny, not thrilling, not exciting. I wish I could’ve taken my money back.

I saw the movie and throughly enjoyed it. Subtext is what i look for and i found it in this movie. Something about the man without a memory of his greatness, awakening to his true potential. Or maybe it was about this man whose strength comes from his separateness and his pain, wallowing in despair and hopelessness, until someone better placed helps him to see his lost potential. Anti-hero or hero? The real battle starts first with self identity, and self worth. Great movie.

It was average, flat. I was never fully immersed in the story line, although there were a few little quirks in it. F.D, your reply was alot of truth as I myself live in N.Z and see alot of what they dont see.

Having just watched ‘Hancock’, I can’t really put my finger on what’s wrong - except to know that something is, indeed, wrong. The story doesn’t evolve along any accepted story-telling form and the initial storyline (that of a malcontented superhero) fails to reach any real conclusion. A contrived pivotal point lacks credibility with the far-fetched notion that Hancock might be inclined to accept his current state in an effort to change simply to be liked. ‘Hancock’ is, at best, confused story-telling; at worst, bad story-telling. Of course, in order to tell a story, you need to be clear about what, exactly, the story IS.

I haven’t watched the movie yet. But, from the reviews I’ve read so far, “Hancock” doesn’t seem to be a strange, weird movie to me.
I’m not American. I guess that’s why it’s easier for me to understand the movie message, even if it isn’t the message the producers really wanted to convey. I wouldn’t be surprised if the film ended up being a big hit abroad.

I don’t want to offend anybody. I only want to provoke you into thinking about your latest faults, and about how the world is seeing you nowadays. As a “foreigner” that I am, I can clearly see that Hancock portrays the current image most countries have of the USA today. I won’t go into details. Try to see it by yourselves, without being too reactive and emotional. Be humble, and you’ll recognize yourselves (your country, actually) in Hancock, with your clumsy, often extremely aggressive, often politically incorrect, so many times violent behaviors and attitudes concerning international policies.

PS: I won’t give either my real name or my e-mail, out of fear, and I’m serious. Having a clear thinking and being critical can be taken as something subversive and dangerous nowadays in your country. I’m not dangerous. I’m a regular, boring, everyday person, who happens to like to think and be critical. That’s all.
See? Hancock probably provokes similar reactions from people: the former admiration is being replaced by fear. I’ll check it out when I see the film.
