Anyone seen the previews for this?
Wow, it's like, totally another Will Smith movie where he delivers those razor sharp one line zingers, but wait there's more. He's like, totally like, a surly Superman and stuff.
Hollywood you suck.

I don't see how he's hated. He's in every fourth movie Hollywood puts out. Take away Ali and The pursuit of happiness and his acting canon is quite shallow. He'll always be the fresh prince to me.

kevin2323 · 05-19-2008, 06:07 AM

yep hes good in every movie pretty much.... I am legend was another great acting performance on his part ... you just wish that he was still doin fresh prince

Petra_Kalbrain · 05-19-2008, 06:13 AM

I enjoy his performances immensely and plan on getting a huge charge out of this new spin on the superhero genre.

Movie looks interesting and they pay will smith 20-30 million a movie because he doesnt draw big movie money

Hancock is great movie. Will Smith is a great actor and has always acted fine and superb. I think you are just a hater.

Yes, I saw the first trailer that made it out to be a comedy. The new trailer I saw looked like a dramatic action movie. Whatever, I don't think I'll be seeing this either way.

I honestly don't know what to think of this one. I was completely disinterested when I first saw the trailer, but I can't completely hate it... yet.

It might be interesting to look at the superhero genre in a different light, but I can't imagine that this movie will be viewed as revolutionary by any means. It'll be a semi-interesting take on an already insanely popular drama. I just hope that the development of the plot for Hancock is better than I Am Legend; about 30 minutes of good plot development were missing there.

I don't see Will Smith as either underrated or hated. Both of those arguments go right out the window in that his movies are very successful in the financial sense.

Marine Mike · 05-19-2008, 12:13 PM

I don't think that this movie will fail because Will Smith is in it considering his movies have done very well.

I think this movie will fail because everyone knows whats going to happen in this movie 1 year in advance. Only reason why anyone will go see this movie is because Will Smith is in it and it'll have cool special effects.

Will Smith's approx. 1.1 movies per year = every fourth movie Hollywood puts out.

Um. no.

yeah, um sarcasm sometimes doesn't translate too well with the printed word.

He's overused is my point.

and my point is at a movie a year, that's ridiculous. Now if you were to say Nick Cage then maybe you would have a point.

Hollywood is a business trying to make money. Will Smith makes movie studios money by starring in movies.

If you don't like the money making aspect of movies, go watch some film school art movies with shaky camera work, no acting ability, and pretentous ideas.

brett_day · 05-19-2008, 05:28 PM

i don't think will smith is a bad actor...he is actually pretty good...unfortunately for him though he has made some bad choices when it comes to signing up to be in movies....he needs a new agent! I think anyone could honestly say that wild wild west almost ended his career on the big screen....what the heck was he thinking when he made that...hitch was good, ID4 his best i believe, i am legend was a good one too! Ali was awful and again wild wild west...i don; think it is him, i just don't think studios take him as a serious actor...again to everyone he is still the fresh price...as successful as that show was, it has hurt his career as nobody can look past that show when it comes to will smith

poopshoot · 05-19-2008, 05:38 PM

I read that the movie is pretty awful.
Some people reviewed test screenings on aint it cool news and they pretty much hated it.
As always you can't really be sure to you go see it for yourself, but when i read the plot in those reviews i pretty much made up my mind to wait for it to be on hbo or showtime.

I don't hate Will Smith, but I don't think he's a great actor either. In the medium for me, but I agree that he did pretty good in Legend.
