It’s a Will Smith flick opening July 2, so it probably doesn’t matter what critics say. But early reviews have not been kind to homeless superhero movie Hancock. In perhaps the worst indictment floating around so far, Variety’s Todd McCarthy invokes the name of famed Ahh-nold flop The Last Action Hero.
Hancock really toes the edge of its PG-13 rating so it sounds like you might not want to take the kiddies for this one. Let’s face it, Will Smith just needs to be Will Smith and everything on screen needs to blow up properly and this opens at no.1. You can expect that top spot to become a hot potato as we still have Hellboy II, Dark Knight and X-Files: I Want to Believe on the horizon.
My wife’s going to make me see it because she watches all Will’s movies. Especially I, Robot. Especially the scene where he’s in the shower. Excuse me, I have to go work out now. I’m feeling really insecure.
we both know that you have never done a push-up, squat thrust or chin up in your life. I know how you feel the womanfolk willdrag you yo see this.
Yeah, I can sympathize as well…I just found out last nite that my wife thought he looked hot in “I Am Legend”…Funny, all this time I thought she was a loyal Denzel fan.
Anyway, she won’t have 2 drag me cuz we both like Will Smith & I’ll be taking her…For me, it’s his humor & demeanor I enjoy watching…He seems so relaxed & easy-going w/parts he plays…It’s like he just runs w/the role w/o even trying.
As for the critics, when it comes 2 summer action/adventure films I pay no attention 2 them…Summer blockbusters are not meant 4 literary & film critics, they ARE meant 2B great popcorn pics for the general public…In that respect, they don’t know what they’re talking about…Save Brian & Cynthia of course, cuz they’re just like us.
Regarding fitness, the last time I did a chin-up or squat was in high school…I can still do push-ups though–about 20 or so/month;-)
