New 'Hancock' Video Looks Good
A brand new trailer-ish preview for Hancock debuted on American Idol last night (see video above), and I'm still in the camp of people who are really looking forward to this one. I've spoken to some people who've seen a good amount of Hancock, and they say the flick is very heavy on special effects. Based on the original trailer and this preview, I'd say they're absolutely right. But this is a July 4th weekend movie -- am I the only one who expects a film that comes out over the July 4th weekend to be absolutely stocked with an unhealthy amount of special effects? Plus it's nice to see an original character sandwiched between a handful of established characters, not to mention the fact that Will Smith plays him.
Shouldn't have to say too much about the plot as the video above does a good job laying it our for us; the only thing I'm interested in seeing now is Charlize Theron's role in all of this. She's the only one who's been kinda absent in these previews. We know she's married to Jason Bateman's character, and, according to early script reviews, her and Hancock were supposed to have a little unspoken "thing" going on. Not sure if that's been removed or what, but here's hoping the next trailer shows us a little more of The Theron.
Hancock hits theaters on July 2.

3. by minute two, you have already spoiled a good number of jokes that you won't find even amusing when you see it for real. Why not just upload the whole movie to Youtube and then ask you to see it in the big screen?

4. If Charlize Theron is the lady who turns away from the TV when she hears Hancock say "it's hard being the only one of my kind" then my guess is she's got a few super powers of her own
Not to mention going from wearing some flowery dress to some black jumpsuit with glasses (which this movie seems to think superheroes have to wear oversided dark glasses) I'd definitely say she's got something super going on

1. Considering that I get a Mystery Men-type vibe from this, I know that most people are going to hate this movie but I can't wait.
Though it's going to be hard to not make Arrested Development, "MR F" jokes whenever Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron are on screen together.
