Hancock isn’t for everyone, and already seems to be dividing critics (most are leaning towards “bad”). I’ve often said that mainstream critics seem to have a herd mentality, so they can’t necessarily be trusted every time. Sometimes I wonder if critics will write a negative or positive review of a movie just because it’s the general consensus. Nobody wants to be the lone voice saying “I disagree, ” and professionally, being the one guy who loved Lady in the Water could kill a career. As well, I’d chalk this one up to the generation gap. I hate to sound “age-ist,” but the average age for critics of major publications probably isn’t anywhere near 20-30, which (besides teenage males) is the likely demographic for this film. For what it is, I think Hancock was pretty fun.
Hancock is a comic book movie that isn’t based on a comic book, but has all the trappings. Will Smith, who almost always brings his A-game, plays John Hancock, a hard-living guy who just happens to have super powers. He’s a socially inept alcoholic with no respect for, well, anyone, and he spends his spare time preventing crime and causing a whole lot of damage in his wake. Jason Bateman, always one to grab a good “nice guy” role, plays Ray, a PR guy. His life is saved by Hancock, and to pay him back, he decides to save Hancock’s life, or at least his reputation. The hope is that Hancock may learn to be a better person, and/or find happiness.
Another notable character is Ray’s wife (Charlize Theron), who makes eye contact with Hancock in practically every scene they share. We’re led to believe she may have an affair with him, though the repercussions of the aforementioned eye lock are much more interesting and surprising.
The film’s premise is unique in that it tries to look at the consequences that super heroes would have to face if their exploits were real. That’s not to say the movie is realistic, because it isn’t. It is ripe with comic book logic, but with a real world twist. Hancock, after years of serving his community, is forced to accept the consequences of all of the damage he’s caused. As the film continues, we learn about Hancock’s past and origins, about the possibilities of others like him, and we start to wonder if his behavior is nothing more than a front.
The negative press this film is receiving is likely partially because the film is very rough around the edges. Some sight gags and punchlines fall completely flat, and lean towards the scatological rather than the truly clever, but as far as “gross-out” gags go, this film is very light on them considering the average comedy’s tendency to use them as a crutch. The “rules” of Hancock’s super powers and origins are a little sketchy, particularly towards the climax of the film. They work if you don’t think about it. As well, Jason Bateman seems completely one-dimensional (his only emotion is “heart of gold”).
Hancock, despite all of this, is great fun. Unlike previous summer romps like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, it doesn’t rely entirely on a tried and true formula. Some of the film’s events can be seen coming a mile away, but for the most part it’s unpredictable and keeps the audience guessing (and therefore invested in the story). As well, Will Smith is great in the title role, and keeps us entertained even when the (generally fast paced) storyline is taking a break. I think he’s truly under appreciated as an actor. Though he started on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and has mostly done nothing but standard blockbusters and popcorn films, the man has more talent than anybody gives him credit for.
If you’re looking for good summer fun, this is definitely a contender (though there’s been no shortage of films that fit the bill this summer). It is a fun, clever, and above all, unique romp. If you’re looking for a great movie, this is probably not the one for you. It will never win an Oscar, and probably won’t win any sort of award, unless the vitriol that the press is spewing leads to Razzie nominations.
