*Hancock* is a movie that I watched... 

It was originally called He Comes At Night but the studio thought the title was too "suggestive" so they picked Hancock instead lol

My theory on why she can create storms is because she has all her memories. He can too, but he doesn't remember how to do all the cool stuff.

This movie is so underrated. People miss the main message. He chose to stay away so she could be happy.

At the end he did not actually jump to the moon, he just basically got far enough away that he could fly, the moon just happened to be in the background. Though yes he did go there eventually.

No one can complain about this movie when fast and furious is such a popular and lucrative franchise

I loved this movie for the humor and the hilarious concept of essentially an alcoholic superman.

I love this movie. A unique story with heart. To save people and be rejected. Not caring anymore when suddenly, someone cares. Being alone, not having a purpose then, being needed, appreciated. Finally remembering a true love then, having to leave them to save them. When you’re down, depressed and lonely and that flips around is emotional enough but throw in your perfect love that you can’t be with.. heartbreaking. 💔

The character growth is more important than the superhero world-building in this one. It's a bit unfortunate that it is flawed enough to detract from the moral. Caring about people is good, abandoning people is not good, lies aren't good, hurting people is also not good, helping is good, taking responsibility is good... I'm sure there's more in there.

Freaking love Hancock , fight me.

There's an alternate universe somewhere where Robert Downey Jr was cast as Hancock and Will Smith was Iron Man and the MCU was VERY different. Because both movies still play out this same way.

Hancock vandalized the moon for a marketing stunt.

Imagine life from the perspective of humans on Earth, looking at the moon and going "what is that red spot?", one week later "The moon is becoming red??" and then "WHAT THE F- THERE'S A HEART ON THE MOON???"

Vince Gilligan (writer, director (of some episodes), and creator of Breaking Bad, writer, director (of some eps), and co-creator of Better Call Saul) co-wrote this movie lol. This came out the same year as Breaking Bad's first season.

This movie is so good for like, the first 45 min, maybe hour, and then it turns into a different movie completely.

It really does feel like one writer started this story and another finished it.

He didn’t jump to the moon 😂 The moon just happened to be in the shot, but yes, he later flew to the moon to draw the symbol

Whats funny is that this was a better Eternals movie than The Eternals.

Hancock would fit perfect in the boys universe and he has one of the best superhero themes ever

That kid who Handcock scared by being flown into the sky real quick played young Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween

this movie started good, but didn't know how to end it... it feels like two different movies

At 26:12, ACTUALLY THEY ARE THERE. You just have to really pay attention. Hancock is a ancient bird god named Quetzolquatle (spelling?) worshiped by the Aztecs, Myans and other ancient civilizations. You can tell, because that's why he paints all the big Falcon like birds on his prison cell walls, as well as ancient pictographs, the language of the time period. Also, Q, famously left his people never to return. Which lines up with the story of them becoming too mortal, so they'd run away. I'm not sure who actress Charlie is playing, but if you look up the ancient Aztec mythological group, there's probably one that fits the bill. Even his hat/expensive glasses, kind of give his eyes that Falcon like appearance, and again, there's a falcon on his hat. Wine was a regular gift people gave to Gods, so the fact that he's a drunk actually makes sense. Basically, he can probably make tornados too. He just doesn't remember how. I'd be really interested if anyone can see what his particular brand of alcohol is, and whether or not there's a connection to his ancient homeland. But the connections are definitely there. Most people just don't look for them.

This movie has a special place for me, it the last movie I watched in theaters with my dad before he passed in Oct 2008. He had health problems so he slept a lot but this was one of the few movies he stayed up the full duration for ❤ Also I totally get on those late 2000s movies looking super saturated, pretty distinctive and I can always tell the timeframe a movie is released on that alone!!

"*Hancock* is a movie that I watched..." BEST TITLE EVER!

The word or term you're looking for to describe how Jason Bateman has been typecast in more recent years, is the "straight man." Not in a sexual orientation way, but in characterization. He's usually the one who can recognize the ridiculous scenario or characters he's around or caught up with. He's usually the guy we are supposed to relate with most of the time. Other times, he can be a fun weirdo, like Dodgeball. He's absolutely fantastic in Dodgeball.

Gonna watch this when I get home, but I already know Vicky will laugh her ass off

First half is solid, second half falls flat a little bit.

She explained to her husband(Ray) earlier, after the tornado debacle, that "they all paired up and died".. so your theory was already revealed technically, you just missed it. They also explained his memory loss. He got jumped and was knocked out. He was weak because they were together at the time, hence the injury.

First time I saw this movie, I thought he must have learned to fly at the "Ralph Hinkley School of Flight"

That's literally the first thing I thought when I saw the bow. Very cute, and a personal movie favorite of mine

Imagine how much paint Hancock needed to paint this drawing on the moon.

2:21: "So he's a liabi... 🤣🤣🤣" Absurdity done right 😂😂

If you would like a movie with a more serious tone, while still having elements like superpowers, Chronicle from 2012 is a really good movie :)

I get why people don't like this movie, but I always thought this movie was pretty great. The concept and execution is pretty good. I mean, still cheesy, sure, but a movie movie.

This movie is a very specific "mood", so if you don't get it (and that is perfectly understandable), then you'll either hate it or be confused by it, but if it hits just right, then it is a beautiful masterpiece. I fall in the latter category.

The movie Hancock and The Boys series explains the existential crisis of being either a celebrity or a superhero. The last I watched Hancock was on cable TV & DVD. Will Smith's acting is well-suited for this character.

Btw good luck editing the next few episodes of the boys

I still laugh so hard at that one scene with the boat. You now the one ;)

the original script didn't have the fated partners twist and happy ending. Hancock was angry and traumatized hero, who killed tons of people and gave up on life, Charlize's character later died because of him, so he transfered his powers to the son to go back in time and save his mother. But then it was revealed Hancock was actually the son who was stuck in a time loop reliving everything, while trying to save his mother who was fated to die. And no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't stop it.

This is a movie of all-time

I remember I watched this one in the theatre. The crowd loved it.

BULLY you for doing a Kikis Delivery Service hommage with your outfit?! how bout PRAISE YOU! Kiki is oneof all my all time feel good movies, its just so cozy and cute and lighthearted, spiritlifting....I as a heavily tattooed Deathmetal Hardcore Punk guy who loves gore and violence in movies, KIKI just makes me wanna cry happy tears just thinking bout it cause the movie is precious

He didn't jump into the moon. The moon was just in the background. He took flight to get away from her. He didn't need a full month to put Ray's design in the moon.

The bank robber was played by Eddie Marsan of London. He was Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock Holmes

That kid at the start is from The Middle, came about a couple of decades after Malcolm In The Middle. I can see where the confusion would come from. He played a kid called Brick and he was amazing 🙂 As for the film, I enjoyed it until the plot twist, then it just got stupid

I’m still amazed how reactors can call it on a film that is 16 years old, it’s truly remarkable

Jason Bateman was on an old TV show as a little kid, it’s Little House on the Prairie. I used to rush home after school to catch it from the start.

V: (does the most accurate predictions ever) "Everything I'm predicting for this movie is wrong!"

This movie is a guilty pleasure. I've got it on DVD, right next to my copy of Hackers. I'll put it on every couple years for a good laugh.

Will Smith never fails in those older movies.

Honestly i still love this movie. The ending didnt feel cheesy to me at all, i just enjoyed the process

"we watched it, and it was ok" : the movie

First off, I love that bow... It really accents your hair very well! Second I nearly fell out of my chair when you accurately predicted that she knew him so early. I missed the connection till she threw him through the refrigerator (he sneezed), but I did have the exact same reaction that you did when it happened. Conclusion that was a sweet awesome reaction, thank you for reacting to it. Suggestion more Charlize Theron... The Old Guard (2020)

i remeber going to see this movie with some friends when i was in school, one of them cried when Hancock was hurt in the hospital.

Peter Berg directed this. He also directed tv show Friday Night Lights (2006-2011) as well (including the pilot). Had similar visuality.

I hope you find your sheep... Also, GO GO Gadget mini Copter!!!

hair is fire. no bullying allowed.

I wish John Powell would do more Superhero movies, he’s soooo good with them.

I first watched this in the theater, enjoyed it, rewatched it later at home. I was a comic book reader for quite a few years, and appreciate reimaginings of superhero tropes.

I love this film, so underrated. People just didn't seem to get the humour, I laughed so much.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work

I'm convinced that this movie was an inspiration to the Boys. Showing that people with superhuman abilities aren't always good

20:42 she literally said a few minutes ago that they die once they pair up, they become mortal when together

He had a weather power, too. It wasn't really explored in the theatrical cut. In the extended versiom, there's a scene where he takes a girl back to his house. As he is getting turned on, the temperature increases and the tins of Jiffy Pop popcorn start popping due to the excessive heat. Also, you either missed (which is easy to do) or totally ignored (don't blame you if you did) whatever the hell the giant robot was in the background of their big downtown fight scene. All of that being said, this is one of my favorite super hero movies. Is it great cinema? Nope. Is it a helluva lot of fun? YUP!

Hancock tanking that train will always be a crazy and cool scene or me

I think this movie would’ve been much better fleshed out as a trilogy.

Vicky wearing Propeller blades she stole from a Helicopter is as funny as the movie

The bad guy with the hook is played by Eddie Marsan, a British actor. You were trying to figure out if he used a Kentucky accent or what. I think he was just trying to sound not British. He often plays gentle, sweet characters. Try Still Life for a very different Eddie. A very gentle man who tries to find relatives of lonely people who died. Usually he is the sole mourner at their funeral.

"I swear if its gonna something like 'shes his weakness' thats why hes suddenly mortal" Me: 😀

Hancock is basically about a regular Joe who is also immortal. His behavior and attitude comes from the facts that he has no real memories or family and he is just so done with people because even when he helps, they just criticize and make more demands of him.

Hancock was one of the first movies that started a post-modern era for super hero movies, along with Kickass. I was a teenager, when it came out, watched in on DVD. And yes, I felt the same kind of weird as you do now. It really struggles to put both light and dark themes together with moral stuff. The mood jumps all around. Well, directors did not have the same experience in that kind of genre, I suppose, It was eight years before the first Deadpool. Still brings back some good memories.

9:32 HAHA LOOK! ITS A PRISON-CENTAUR! xDD best ive seen 😂

24:28 I dont think in that last leap away that he jumped to the moon. He just jumped "away". He just knew the further away he could get from her would save both of them. He probably did the moon thing later on once he was fully recovered. I unironically love this movie. Yeah the 2000's style high contrast look and the over-saturation really dates this movie, plus with the style of hand-held camera and crash zooms... sure. But for the basic story of this movie I kinda like it. I always wished they made a sequel to it. Though in all the times I've watched this movie, I never once thought of the issue with having a metal hook on your arm while in PRISON! LMAO! Good catch, V!

I get a little flak from people when I say I love this movie, but I do. I always really hated when superheroes were the perfect virtuous tropes. I liked that he had powers but was still a normal guy with problems just like everyone else. He even had major serious problems. I feel like in recent years more superhero stories have gotten a little darker and portrayed them as imperfect, but I still think none do it quite like Hancock. I will admit: the movie has its issues. And it goes completely off the rails in the second half. But I still love it.

At the hospital she was channeling his pain into her so he could fight but she had a limit how much she could take

LOL, look up the scene they cut here he goes over how he "gets down"

luder in the intro and the jail head and booty scene made me love this movie back when it came out :D

I really like this movie. Really rewatchable even if it kind of falls apart at the end. The villain's motivation is pretty muddled since it almost sounds like he knows about Hancock's origin and what happened to the other supers.

You summed up my feelings about this movie perfectly. I thought it was a missed opportunity in a lot of ways but I'd still sit down and watch it if it was already on.

I think this movie would be a lot more popular if it released today

Any movie/show with Jason Bateman is worth watching.

I think that the actor who played the main villain also played a villain in Deadpool 2, but I could be wrong.

Hancock is a good movie have a great weekend Vicky.🎆📺🎆

The little French bully kid played Michael Myers as a kid in Rob Zombie's Halloween!

Hancock is underrated and ahead of her time, the same thing happened to Watchmen, it is not perfect but the public of the moment did not want to see alternative stories and antiheroes, they wanted to see Xmen, the antihero phenomenon would arrive with Logan (2017) and with Deadpool (2016) which brought a wave of products such as The Boys and Invincible that represent parody due to the saturation of the genre and that are widely accepted by the public.

I knew I wasn't the only one that wish for a sequel😂

He didn’t jump to the moon. He jumped in the air. It happened to be towards the moon at that time.

How can anybody bully Vkunia, especially with how cute shes looking 😆

Any time someone immediately guesses they were a couple I just know they know the storyline lol

If you're interested in seeing Jason Bateman in a different type of role, you might enjoy/hate his character in "Juno." Great movie.

You are right @Vkunia lol Justin always plays some character that wants to help lol Its crazy how the select him for the right parts

You: "RIP HIS WIENER OFF!" Oh my goodness. I was dying laughing on that one.

I came in so late for this and I had totally forgot bout this movie that I heard bout so much in the past during my days LMAO

The bank scene really shows the difference in how the destruction of property is treated. Before that scene, Hancock would be blamed and insulted for all the public damage. But because the cops were already being peppered with bullets in the line of duty, any damage Hancock does now is negligible. Using the police car as a shield is destruction of police property, but he was active saving a cop's life and protecting her from more harm; so I don't believe anyone would come at him for that. Also he is correct; that officer WAS very attractive.

This movie came out in the same year as the first Iron Man (2008) and it actually grossed higher. This movie has some good stuff in it, it's just badly handled. I remember this being one of the only movies I watched and wanted it to be longer, if it was 30-40 mins longer they could've explored a lot more. It seems like that guy with the hook hand, they were setting him up to be an intimidating villain. They mention how he was a professor of psychology and is a master manipulator, but we never really see that.

The guy with the accent us a great British actor

Great reaction to a really good movie. One thing I always wondered is what made them choose to play the theme music from the old Sanford and Son tv show in the background when Hancock turned the two prisoners into a centaur?

"Rip his wiener off!" is not a phrase I ever thought I would hear you say - Especially not with that much gusto XD

7:30 HAHAHA! THATS HOW YOU DEAL WITH THAT SHIZ! MAKE HIM CRYYYYY! 😂😂😂

The end has always worked for me- making the choice to get away from her at all cost even while nearly dying himself, knowing he’d always be a little bit alone
