Hancock (Will Smith as a Superhero!)

The film doesn't look like what I was expecting. Not that that is a bad thing, I guess I still had the tone of "I Am Legend" in my mind so I thought itwas going to be a very dark look at a superhero after reading the premise for it.

Huh, I didn't even realize Tonight, He Comes... had gotten as far as filming. Not sure whether I like the new name better.

And, hey, it's scheduled for a "Big Willie Wednesday" release.

Been a while since he had one of those.

The script for "Hancock" is said to be very good (as well as hilarious) and the rumored "twist" on the Charlize Theron character

Spoiler:

should be fun to see unfold (if true).

This one could go either way though. It could be a great romp and end up being a big summer hit or it could end up being another "My Super Ex-Girlfriend". The teaser spot did have some funny moments though.

I laughed my ass off at the whale part. This should be a fun role for Will Smith. And Jason Bateman

Who is directing this?

Peter Berg is directing "Hancock".

This looks pretty good and quite a few steps up from My Super Ex-girlfriend which did have its moments.

Being 6 months out, the sfx already are looking great as well. Will be nice to have another Smith 4th of July.

It's good to hear that it's Berg directing. He's an above average director, and should have the right touch to get the tone of this film right.

I'm warming the idea of an unlikeable dickhead Will Smith as superhero

I just saw the trailer for this movie on Apple trailers and I have to say, wow, I really like it! It looks fun and the effects are spot on. He's a very "different" type of Superhero. Can't wait to see what they have in store for Charlize Theron.

Again, yup, the whale part. LOL!

Loved it. Looks like a must see to me.

From the premise, I really expected something different. Something more dramatic about a guy who used to be great in his heyday and has one more chance to prove himself - kinda like a Rocky Balboa with a superhero. So looks like I'll need to readjust my expectations.
