      42% 227 Reviews Tomatometer 59% 250,000+ Ratings Audience Score A scruffy superhero named Hancock (Will Smith) protects the citizens of Los Angeles but leaves horrendous collateral damage in the wake of every well-intentioned feat. That's OK with Hancock; he doesn't care what people think and is just as likely to be found dozing on a park bench as saving a damsel in distress. However, after saving the life of a PR executive (Jason Bateman) and meeting the man's beautiful wife (Charlize Theron), he realizes that he may have a sensitive side after all.

      Namrata Joshi Outlook Some melodrama and a superwoman later, it loses steam. Rated: 2/4 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Even though toned and watered down heavily, Hancock’s first hour (the uncut version) still conveys most of the character’s core, and the struggles he faces as a barely tolerated superhero in the streets of Los Angeles. Aug 20, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's the lack of real, substantial solutions for an outlandish fantasy tale that prevents this film from being as extraordinary as Hancock himself. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Silly? Sure. However, when Smith's not trying to win Oscars he's practically perfected the art of selling silliness at the box-office. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
