#HonestTrailers - Krátké a kreslené filmy
It was 2/3rds of a good movie. It's actually a solid premise. Everyone always asks "what if Superman turned evil?" but few ask "what if Superman was 100% done and just wanted to drink all day?"
Funny thing Superman 3 had a few scenes like that.
@@TripleT706 Superman was a REALLY mean drunk.
Yeah, that was the plot of Megamind.
Everyone asks who is superman but no one asks how is superman
@@CSHummer Yeah, I mean what if after Injustice when Lois gets killed he just became like this?
Hancock feels like two scripts they just wedged into one film.
That's a perfect description of it.
That is how Picth Meeting described the movie too
I'm 90% sure it literally IS 2 movie scripts smashed together. At the very least, I heard that rumor not long after it came out.
@@austinkoos6842
It’s true. They got halfway through before changing over directors, and you can tell the first half is a much stronger movie
'cause that's literally what happened
Homelander: You guys are the real heroes.
Hancock: Good job.
Except Hancock actually means it.
@@LaniakeaDenizen that's why he doesn't give some fake one-liner like homelander
@@runtergerutscht4401 no sh*t sherlock
@@LaniakeaDenizen Did he, though? At first, I thought he did, but I started to doubt that looking back. For one, he said this to cops that were not doing so well in that particular situation and were far from having the situation under control. Second, he did not really sound like his usual self and sounded awkward. It was almost like someone who was trying to do PR and were looking for something to say. The guy he became friends with did want him to change his image. When looking back, it almost seems like he was kind of bored when he said it. Maybe that could be chalked up to him not being used to the whole noble superhero thing.
“I do love your father but… he’s more like a pet to me”
that’s pure genies right there
Omni Man reference done at perfection.
Couldn't have phrased it better
I give the film credit for trying something a bit different than simply making another spin-off or sequel. The first act was pretty good too.
Like he said the 3rd act skybeam hadn't been invented yet
I agree. From the reviews I expected to hate it, but the beginning was really good. Then they got into that ridiculous bit about his twin, lover , whatever and it just went off the rails.
yeah true, the first act was really good
It really was! And then they thought, nah, let's take a massive left turn for the 2nd act then work on a totally different movie for the finale!
It tried something different for sure. It decided to put the movie and its lame sequel into the same movie! 😜😂
The first 2/3rds are honestly really good. It's the last half with the twist reveal that derails it. I swear one more rewrite and they would've nailed it imo
@@The_Muffin_Man 60 percent of the time, it works everytime
Rumor has been for a long time that it was two movies that they just kind of smushed together. That's why the last bits feel like they're from a different movie.
@@johnofthenorth6653 That's an interesting theory, and I actually like it
The main villain was kinda dumb. I mean nobody knew about Hancocks movie. What were they gonna do if the bullets didn't work? At least at the bank they had hostages.
@@johnofthenorth6653 I'll choose to believe this rumor, thank you 😄
the cinema sins joke tho 😂
Ding*
No love lost
I always thought the message in this film was off. The whole way through it was about how Hancock should use his powers to help people, and yet when it was revealed that Mary also has powers there is no criticism of her for doing nothing with them. At least Hancock was trying to do good, she was doing nothing.
Women eh? (just kidding...) 😎
i always find superman stopping robbers to be like an olympic athelete doing high school competition. so much power to change the world and u only use it for petty crimes.
someone should really adapt dc's 'authority'. it's like a justice league who take it upon themselves to police the world. they topple dictators in their spare time, not robbers.
@@bigd7696 u don't have to be kidding dude, because it is what it is ..
I think the whole reason she didn't do that is because Hancock would find her and they would be doomed.
I think it's more about finding purpose and fulfillment in life. He always wanted to be a hero and help people. Being a blank slate at the bottom of society, he still followed this aspiration. She, on the other hand, always wanted a simpler life and family. And Ray saved both, helping the first to fit into society and becoming a new family for the second. So here nothing to criticize.
'I was legend'
Ouch, I think even Hancock felt that burn.
I was legend, now I am simp
The movie that gave two for one movie rental a new meaning.
The cinema sins bit was priceless 😂
I'd really love for someone to take another stab at this movie someday, because there's just so much potential
What do you mean?
Surely the hero- not a hero thing has been done now with Deadpool.
Agreed 💯
I want to see something similar
but the protagonist isn't uncaring or nonchalant
but incompetent.
Where he has great power and wants to do good but is a complete idiot.
I don't mean like
The Greatest American hero
where he was just overwhelmed by his powers,
this guy should be so stupid that having these abilities are actually a detriment.
....a bit like Captin Clyde.
Now, there's an obscure reference.
Hancock was just going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
Hellsing abridged reference,...... Neat.
And then he met a big t+×÷= police girl.
I understood that reference.
A man of culture
Throw the woods !
The way he slaps that nice man on the stage was a weird twist
You misunderstood: those scars aren't from them fighting each other, it's from the people that came and tried to kill them everytime they became mortal.
They didn't say the battles were with each other. And in fact during that line they showed Hancock fighting a thug, not his wife.
@@HuginMunin 2:48 He doesn't say it explicitly, but from context and his pause you can confer he thinks they always fight each other.
@@Kackpuh There's copious footage in the movie of them fighting each other, yet the video, which is edited very carefully, shows Hancock fighting a thug for that line. Also, the people who do these things are not, you know, stupid. There's no "with each other" in the scripts and no evidence to assume it was implied.
"Lead Hancock a Super hero cursed to live insides his own Cinemasins video. Ding, Ding, Ding"
So accurate.
"but he is like a pet to me" hahaha, invincible rocks.
The whale throwing scene will always be funny!
He called that kid thickness!
Hancock was ahead of it’s time. If it came out during the right time like MHa and one punch man during the peak of movie superhero influence. It would have raked it bags
It actually did well at the box office (#1 in world 2 weeks in a row), critics weren't a fan though.
It was one of the biggest movies of the year despite being garbage. It outgrossed Iron Man. That's Will Smith's star power for you.
It did rake in bags tho
An animated adaptation would be cool tho but will smith....yh
@@nikkilee3840 Nah, I like Hancock
@@renlevy411 I liked it well enough also. Don't get all the hate. Sure, it's not cinematic gold but I found it to be entertaining enough because it's....wait for it....a fucking fantasy movie....and entertainment it provided. Probably the only thing I found really stupid about the script was how when he went to prison and the prisoners actually thought they were a threat to him. That was just dumb. Put Lex Luthor and Superman in a jail cell together and take notice that Superman's knees don't start to tremble.
I was so confused when the bad guys made an alliance to go after him near the end, since they had no way to know he was just being depowered right then. That finished taking me out of the movie.
Didn't they form that alliance though the moment he got shot and was in the hospital? That's a clear indicator he's lost power
I think there was something about his weakness attracting enemies? So subconsciously they knew it was time. It's been a while since I've seen it, though.
He was in the hospital... I'm guessing him having lost his powers was pretty clear.
They only try to kill him after he gets shot and ends up in hospital.
They knew because it was all over the news, so everyone could suspect something was wrong with his powers.
I loved the movie except for that part. The final with the thugs... made no sense.
It was crazy Bateman and Theron’s characters STAYED TOGETHER. Her and Smith were lovers but stayed away way since they lose their powers so Bateman’s like, “Ha, I win by default”. Lmao.
I can only see Micheal Bluth and Rita, happily ever after.
There's plenty of couples like that in real life where one of the partners "won by default"
@@John_C_J MR. F
The movie seems to indicate Theron really does care about Bateman.
Theron's character wanted to stay with Bateman's.
There is no 'default' there. Hancock could've come back after they both healed.
One line that really sticks out in this movie for 2022 was when Hancock was rescuing that pinned down female police officer, and he asks "do I have permission to touch your body? It's not sexual!" 🤣
This line just rolls my eye 😒, complete BS
@@ineedpowers5151 it's a joke
Never realized that Michael did get to do Rita after all
"Rita CORNY Michael!"
After 4 years of waiting, comes an honest trailer that everyone forgot they needed...
I actually really liked the third act! I like the twist, and yes, three dudes with a gun against two superpowered beings would *normally* be a sucky showdown, but the fact is that when they are together they become vulnerable, hence the guns actually hurt now. It's a good twist!
Maybe for another run-of-the-mill superhero movie. The problem isn't the twist itself, the problem is that:
a) It comes out of nowhere
b) It has absolutely nothing to do with everything that took place in the first 2 acts
The result is that you have the feeling of watching two different movies stitched together. And since it abandons the original theme, plot and narrative you'll end up with lose ends and an unsatisfying ending. You just got to the point where you enjoy the concept of a grumpy and raunchy superhero that does things his own way and are eager to see where his character arc gets him - and BOOM all of a sudden it's a cheesy love story and Hancock transforms into an ordinary superhero with a slightly different kryptonite. That twist could have worked for a Superman movie but not one that is all about establishing an anti-hero, which, remind you, was a refreshing thing back then in 2008.
Hancock is the film everyone forgot about but has the ideas everyone uses.
Especially the "Superman but evil" trope all over social media and Hollywood
im so happy we no longer in the era where EVERY SINGLE shot has to have camera wobble/moving especially on close ups of people talking
Are u sure though ? I still see it pretty often
I remember really loving this idea for this film but missed it at the cinema and caught it later on TV and I was so disappointed and confused by the convoluted twist. Absolutely nerfed an interesting idea.
I had already assumed that Hancock had an honest trailer by screen junkies until this.
The only superhero drunker than Thor XD
Valkyrie? Tony (in the comics), Carol Danvers (in the comics)
Iron Man?
Thor doesn’t get drunk. He gets hammered.
@@doomy_mcdoomerson I thought he gets Norse-d
Jessica Jones?
I weirdly actually like Hancock but mostly I think because I like Jason Bateman a lot
This is actually one of my favorite movies. I wish the whole movie was just Hancock being a dick to people.
Hancock is the kind of a plan that you write at 4:00 a.m. after watching a motivational video then realize it's absolute garbage the next day
This movie had so much potential and squandered it
so one points out a good reason... it was written during the writers strike!! no wonder. Hope this train strikw works out better than this movies ending jehejeje!!
Hancock: a open palmed face slap at the Oscars
Honest trailers is at its best when it does older films 👏👏👏
Films at their best...
I agree. I think cause most people have seen the older films, so we understand what he is talking about. Now a days, if its not an Honest Trailer on Marvel, John Wick, or the animated movie of the year, I probably haven't seen the movie.
👌👍👍👍
You either loved this movie or hated it. I loved it and wished they'd made a sequel.
Everyone love movie #1 and hate movie #2 in this mess.
I don't like when people say this sort of thing. I had missed feelings about this movie, and it sure seems like a lot of other people do to.
It's watchable but feels like an unfinished product. A better cut could improve it dramatically.
How? I thought it was ok but when they make Hancock a genuine hero, the film's quality begins to tank and the third act with the whole sister thing feels out of nowhere. They had a good idea and didn't fully execute on it.
I liked it too but don't want a sequel. Specially since it's not a "hero saving the world" kind of movie but more on personal stuff. It's what I liked about tobey's spiderman movies, the first two anyways.
Ngl, this one movie I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel or a reboot for.
Not gonna lie, loved this movie.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁
You know when this came out there had to be some people watching this going “if he’s that strong why doesnt he just slap people?”
Wait….. what……. Hancock came out when Ironman came out?!?!?!?
I was in high school! Going to the mall to watch movie without telling with your friends was a whole journey!
I love this movie. I always lamented that there wasn't ever a sequel.
🎯
it's a good thing there is no sequel
Not everything needs to be a franchise or a series
Stand-alone films is something that's extremely lacking in modern blockbusters and cinema in general
A prequel of Hancock would be amazing!
Riiiiiight?
No.
PreCock will Smith
I just realized the PR Guy is Jerry from Rick and Morty, running around pitching "Hungry for Apples"
I actually liked the idea that they get paired off and lose their super powers. Loved it from the start, though I was sure it's not your typical popcorn flick.
Yeah, I mean unpopular opinion but I liked this movie. It's unconventional and I think that's a good thing.
I liked it too. Also, the soundtrack was awesome
@@BMFstudiosNYC Like she says in the movie, "it usually takes longer" so they don't lose their powers immediately every time they are close.
It's basically the uno reverse card to the superheroes/beings teaming up to be stronger trope, I liked it too. Having to choose between your powers and the person you're supposed to be with could have been played out a bit better in the movie, but I like the idea.
@@BMFstudiosNYC I always thought "close" doesn't mean distance wise but intimate instead.
If you're doing good movies that had a horrible third act, do "Law Abiding Citizen" which was an amazing movie with the worst 15 minute ending.
ugh, it was such a let down.
Yep, it was so close
Yeah, ain’t that the truth. It’s like they were in first place of the race, but it ended up tripping and falling 5 ft from the finish line.
Do a trailer for Constantine (2005). Do it for Keanu Reeves.
Great shout.
I really enjoyed the movie. It was fun and original at the time.
Its still pretty original I think.
That's the most realistic picture of an American citizen getting powers
That Cinemasins reference was golden 😂
“Random bystanders would be excellent at Cinemasins.”
*ding*
‘I was legend’ is the best one ever 😂
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations
You won🎁
0:46 it's funny because almost all of those things predate Hancock
Honestly, the plot twist of the ending is what made me like this movie so much. If it wasn't for that, it'd be pretty much just another action movie.
Thanks for the great breakdown! Really enjoy seeing your perspective and great comedy along the way
i actually love this movie
Same bro 😓 but... I really wish it was reboot and i dunno. Make it look cool and make sense
Watch the pitch meeting of Hancock after this.
I remember hearing this one was a victim of the writer's strike, hence why it felt like two different movies smashed together. It didn't get the reworking it needed.
Okay thank you for including that scene, I keep seeing versions of this movie where they cut out the part where he hooks up in his trailer, and screams “Mountain top… MOUNTAIN TOP!” And throws the girl off him 😂😂😂 I was starting to think I made it up 😅
I appreciate the Undercover Brother reference
I see you’re a man of culture.
His inner Hancock came out during the Oscars.
Poor guy snapped after years of emotional abuse by Jada. The slap was silly, but I still feel for him.
I wonder how next years Oscars are going to top that.
Do peacemaker honest trailer
Am I the only one that enjoys the twist and the concept of a godlike pair that's fated to love each other and lose their powers or distance themselves and gain extraordinary abilities? lol I love this movie. Also, it's hilarious that the best joke about the parallels b/t Will Smith and Hancock wouldn't have even made sense a year ago.
I liked it
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this movie pretty well, I just felt like they tried to cater to too many people so it was unfocused. The Average Joe villain plot was completely unnecessary for example.
Nope, I liked the idea of these 2 beings stay together but lose their powers or stay separate but remain immortal. That's a dope concept.
BUT, the way it was used here felt kind of shoehorned in. The whole movie is about how Hancock is a shitty person trying to do good, but just being bad at it. Which means, he's not actually a shitty person. Then, we start to see his growth and willingness to change and actual progression.
But, once it's revealed that she exist, the whole movie completely switches focus from Hancock's growth and development to him focusing on being with her and their history. It's like the 3rd act was meant for a different movie.
@@caistigh2062 the average joe villian was good because you wouldn't expect that when you first start the movie.
Can you please say, “Why doesn’t anyone ask me what I want to say? I’m more than an epic voice. I’m also an epic voice man.”
Well since you guys want to go back into the superhero genre, can I get an honest trailer Daredevil Netflix series?
Hear hear.
Whoa, just got some serious Mandela Effect vibes because I could have sworn you already did this one 😄
think Ryan George did it recently which may be what you're thinking of
Bad memory: OmG MaNdEla EfFeCT
@@BoxxyFan funny you say that because I had exactly the same impression, which is exactly how Mandela effect works.
@@BoxxyFan cmon don't be rude.
If you really must correct someone then you can do it without being rude.
Hancock needs to be brought into the Boys universe, so he can show them how it's done.
It what context? Homelander is way more hardcore. Lol i dont think Hancock has ever conviced someone they didnt want to kill themself just so he could kill them lmao.
@@verakoo6187 Homelander is a coward and a bully who only attacks anyone he knows he can beat. If he ever fought someone who's stronger or has countless years of experience like Hancock, he wouldn't stand a chance.
I actually kind of enjoy this movie, I like the idea of it since it kind of goes outside the superhero norm. If anything, where it ended would be just fine, but a movie or hell, even a comic book that dives into what/who they are, why and how would be really neat. We get no explanation behind anything other than Hancock kind of remembers something from a long time ago, they've been around a long time and always wind up together, but they lose their powers when that happens
My favorite line: Well, you should sue McDonald’s cause they fed you up
literally just watched a video discussing the oversaturation of superhero films and how it mentioned Hancock was a relic of pre-MCU cinema!
Please say: "I want a Pancake, I want this bacon, but I want it, The Ocky Way."
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations

I loved Hancock and thought it was so much fun, but they had so many ideas that could have been so much more interesting with more development.
The film that showed that Will Smith can be hated way before his Oscars incident!

I feel like this movie would have been great if it leaned more into the main premise
He was a legend. We just feel sorry for the guy now.
You do?
Everyone makes mistakes - he slapped Chris Rock, apologised and is already making movies again.
Will Smith is the last guy to feel sorry for - he has already moved on.
@@jeverydk even worse.
He's living with a woman who cheating on him by sleeping with other men and mentally abused him, but because of his simpness, he's ditching his own dignity for the woman he loves.
@@deensaid7762 nah. Learn to forgive and move on. Life is better that way
That dude did 20 accents in like ten words.
When I saw this in the theaters, I though it was fun and funny--for about the 1st third of the film. Then I felt like, "OK, we get it. Will Smith is Super Brother." Then the weird stuff with Charlize Theron's character started happening and I was like, "Ah HAL! Now here's a FILM hiding in this MOVIE." Granted there ARE three plots and they ALL could have there own movie.
A definite guilty pleasure of mine.
I really liked this movie, wish they came out with another.
I loved this movie.....what if superman just didn't give a fuq? Was the third act a mess....yup....but on purpose IMO because every time those two got together it ended very badly. Imagine going through that with someone for Millenia with someone for them to completely forget you and have no recollection of it....that would be torture and a whole other level.
"Will I get in trouble for that?"
"Yes!"
I laughed at that way more than I probably should have.
Love that this movie made more money than Iron Man in the same year.
That CinemaSins counter 😂
About half of this film is one of the best deconstructions of the superhero genre in cinema. And then the twist...
I love it when he said "it's hancockin' time. Truly one of the films ever made
Charlize Theron was just so gorgeous in this movie ❤
I still remember when I saw this movie and first and she reveals her powers and wears that black suit damnnnnnn ❤️
Will Smith always slappin' out the hits.
You're so late. Pitch Meetings did Hancock immediately following the slap.
I know it's a few weeks away, but I'm really looking forward to your Willow series trailer!

This movie...great premise and the first half-hour is great. Then it just...I can't imagine this was really anyone's vision for this story.
4:20 they live in your minds rent free, don't, they?
Please say in your epic voice: "I talk to myself but no one ever listens."
Would love an honest trailer for every Errol Flynn movie
Vince Gilligan definitely redeemed himself with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. We all have our off days!
Oh wow, bringing it back!
The funny thing is that I went to watch this movie in the theater, while The Dark Knight was being screened, thank god I went to watch The Dark Knight the other day...
Do an honest trailer for Community next!!
