Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/hancock/large.html

Anybody else looking forward to this movie? It's Will Smith's next movie after I am Legend. He plays a hobo with super human powers who really doesn't know how to control himself. It's somewhat cheesy, but it is a comedy and a bit of a superhero parody, and I don't know why but I find a drunk bum fighting crime wearing bermuda shorts and sunglasses pretty charming. I'm not expecting it to be a blockbuster, but it does look like it'll be pretty funny.

And man, I hate rap and hip hop, but I've always liked Ludacris (don't know why, the lyrics aren't that great) and his music fits well with the trailer and Smith's character.

What're your thoughts?

The effects are well done, I don't know if it'll be funny or not though.

If you want to see something like that, go see I am Legend or Pursuit of Happyness. He did a great job playing a character different from his typical role. He isn't that versatile but he is improving overall as an actor IMO.

He is perfect for the role of Hancock though. No denying that.

No, you are confusing a different plot with a different character. We've seen every emotion Smith can do on fresh prince of bel air. He is a really good actor but we've seen absolutely everything he can do.

also he does far too many shower scenes now. it's like yes, i get it, you're really fit for a 50 year old or whatever, now put some clothes on and play some golf

yeah but its still WILL SMITHISH

then again i guess in order for him to actually advanced as an actor the french would need to fucking taking over t he world or something, but i guess getting half way not will smithish is a good startt

will smith is WILL FUCKING SMITH so yeah to a pretty large extent i agree but if you really think the characters he played in i am legend or pursuit of happyness are identical or even especially similar to the ones he played in like MEN IN BLACK or fresh prince or whatever you are dumb as a brick, dude.  it's just a BAD STATEMENT so 1) you making it to begin with, and 2) whatever his name is these days coming in and going YES THIS (WILL YOU RECORD A SASSY REVIEW OF HIS ACTING ABILITIES IN A BRITISH ACCENT PLEASE) is pretty humorous to me.  what you're essentially saying is that will smith has, in the past fifteen or so years, managed to display his full range of emotional capabilities as an actor.  alright, who isn't this true of?  here's a hint: it's not very many people.  you might as well just say "will smith is not one of the top actors of his generation who continues to surprise us with the roles he can deftly play," which should be kind of a given.  on one hand he has spent most of his career effectively playing a very very similar role over and over again, but on the other hand what you said is dumb and wrong, and this trend hasn't even really held true as much as it has in the past in his most recent movies (ps this hancock shit doesn't look that excessively will smithish to begin with so ya) so i feel like i'm a bit torn here between berating you and handsome lamb (lol) and being inclined to agree.

man this doesn't look all that will-smithish at all. like i think of WILL-SMITHISM as him being kind of LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, AND SMART ASS. in this one he just kind of seems like a smart ass with a bit more indifference.

idk for some reason i have fallen in love with this movie
