This really does nothing for me... It'll be one of those mediocre things that gets forgotten about a couple months after it's out.

Haha.

I won't see this. The commercial's that they have this in for... Best Buy.. I think it is,just ended up confusing me about this movie.
wwwww
Hell no.

Will Smith in no way fits a superhero character.
only-tuesdays
I think that is the point. It looks like they're going for the whole "anti-hero" thing.

A good actor can play any type of persona. Perhaps you forgot that he's an A-list actor.

And as only-tuesdays mentioned, yea it's kind of like an anti-hero thing, but if you think about it, it's more of how the protagonist is forced to follow his destiny, rather than just ignoring it. So it starts out as anti-hero, leading to a umm.. "pro-hero" kind thing? Haha, I'm not even sure what words I should use to describe it.


Anyways, I really like the trailer. Although, I am not sure if this is going to be as amazing as I Am Legend, but hey Will Smith has NEVER LET ME DOWN. Of course I wasn't a fan of Independence day, he was still cool there. And no matter what, his one-liners are never cheesy, or he doesn't make them sound cheesy.

I think Will Smith is awesome and all, but he hasn't exactly been in the greatest movies recently, imo.

I dunno, I haven't even given I Am Legend a chance yet, even though I have it sitting in my basement. I was too discouraged by all the people who said it sucked.

Eh,I might see it.

My brother came back last night after watching Hancock, singing its praises and saying it's the funniest thing he's seen in a long time.

My brothers' sense of humour is warped at the best of times, though.
BrokenDream
I wanna see it.

I like how superheroes are being portrayed as having normal problems. The trailer pulled me in because it's a movie about a rude, rough, drunk ass superhero, and then he meets a PR guy(Jason Bateman) and starts to turn it around. The movie delivered on this, and I liked it, but I wish they had capitalized on that more.
BrokenDream
I saw it. It was absolutely fabulous. Buying it on DVD.
I thought Will Smith wouldn't really pull it off but he did, very well.
Gypsy Eyes
It was amazing, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was.

i was in no way excited to see this movie mainly because i'm not a big fan of will smith, but i have to say this movie was good. it had its funny lines and action moments and a little something surprising. he did a good job as a super hero. definately recommend it.

A-list doesn't mean much more than most popular. Just because you're well known doesn't mean you're great. I'm not saying hes bad, but just look at some of his movies. He has carried some shitty roles in the past.

Not necessarily. A-list actors are the most bankable because their acting has gained much popularity. They take into account their acting skills as well. They're popular for a REASON.

For example, Jessica Alba's really popular, but she's doomed to be a B-list actress, despite appearing on various films. Her acting's just.. bad. Good thing she has a pretty face and an awesome personality. xmas.gif

i heard it was very boring.
LoveToMySilas
I wanna see Wanted and this. I heard it was a good movie and Will Smith did a great job despite the fact that this people didn't want him to take the role.

I've seen Wanted and Hancock in the past week or so. I liked both of them, despite negative comments/reviews. They're action movies and the such. Plenty of people criticize because they're "stealing their style from someone else" or "that's already been done". I don't care. If the movie entertained me, it's good. Who cares if it's not an original idea, or if someone else did it already. If they can do it and still make it enjoyable and make me laugh/be interested, then cool.


Speaking of movies, I watched No Country for Old Men last night. Weird. Cool.

To be fair, there is a difference between being a A-List ACTOR, and an A-List CELEBRITY.

You can be one, the other, or both. Or neither, obviously.

I opted to read the Wiki article to know the plot instead of waiting to watch it. Sue me. Sooooo I don't like the twist. Maybe my opinion would've differed had I actually seen the execution of it, but it just seemed like a lame way to "turn the movie around".

BUT! Funny story semi-related to the movie, from a friend who works as a ticket-taker:

40-something man: "What are some good movies you guys are showing?"
Ticket-taker: "Hancock looks really good."
40-something man: "Is that sexual movie?"
Ticket-taker: "....no."
40-something man: "Do you guys have any?"
Ticket-taker: "No, I'm pretty sure we don't.
40-something man: "Oh." *walks off to buy a ticket, to God knows what movie*
