Smith and Bateman are great, and the first half of the movie is terrific. The second half...well, you'll either go with it or you won't.

Will Smith, Fourth of July, superhero. It all seems to add up to a great combination. But they only made half a film.

While the film never quite reaches an Alan Moore-level deconstruction of the superhero mythos, it has a fun time offering up all the joy of a big-budget action movie without taking things too seriously.

Top Critic Has plenty of funny, even tender moments until it veers in a different, messy direction an hour in.

Smart enough to use the CGI madness in service to the story, rather than just ending and scene or conflict with a big effecty showdown. (I'm looking at you, Transformers!)

Top Critic Squeezing every bit of originality out of its concept, Hancock fails on so many levels that it's surprising the film isn't a bigger success with audiences.

Less like a complete movie, Hancock plays out more like the first two episodes of a television series shown back to back.

(...) Una buena idea no hace necesariamente una gran película, y Hancock está lejos de ser perfecta. Aún así vale la pena y Will Smith está perfecto en su rol titular.

Most of Hancock's faults can be forgiven because Will Smith creates a quintessentially American hero: flawed, frayed, but always sacrificing for the sake of others.
