@@drrisen-9442 yeah and no like imagine you can live forever but you see the people you love die again and again and again until you dont love anyone and end up like Hancock a drunk dude you dont get old you dont die but theres one thing you can be rich richer than anyone else in the world
I'll give Hollywood credit for this one. Hancock is one of the very few movies whose twist I totally did not see coming. Her being his wife angel completely took me by surprise.
Apparently there was 4 different twists and endings, one of them was going to be that there was a group of them and that Hancock and his wife were actually rivals and that their last fight had both of them lose their memories, but she got them earlier. Which is why it didn't make sense in the beginning and middle of the movie. They thought them being an ez couple worked better and why the whole "as long as they're together they become mortal" didn't make sense either since they implied they were immortal and still had super powers even while they were together before so why did it suddenly act up now
The twist didn't work. The twist of the film from the start is that he is a superhero that is the worst possible asshole you could imagine becoming one.
I love the ending part of this conversation. It sums up his pain so well. "No one came by to pick me up. What kind of bastard did I have to be that no one came to get me?"
I don't know about yall, but I saw that hancock was the most wronged person throughout the entire movie. Dudes' brain was erased, and then for 80 years, he had no idea who he was or where he came from and then treated like shit for not making clean arrests
They should make a sequel to Hancock, instead they're making a sequel to I Am Legend where he dies at the end of the movie, so they use the alternate ending lol
Has anyone ever asked Vince Gilligan what the other half of the movie was going to be about? I heard it was supposed to take a dark turn but they had to rewrite it since he left to work on Breaking Bad
@@CallieCatCuddles And then Jada said it traumatized her and that she hated him for it and realized they couldn't really go on anymore. Men really can't win with women anymore. Tolerate cheating, defend her honor in public, none of it matters. She'll still hate you.
Boris Karloff was a know actor during the Golden Age of Hollywood and the Frankenstein movie came out in the 1930s and Boris also took part in the classic movie The Mummy which also came out in the 1930s.
@@johnnypottseed I’m talking about a different mummy movie, the movie I’m talking about came out in the early 1930s. The Brendan Fraser version came out much later.
This was one of those movies that will stick with me for ever. Love this movie. I know that if they tried doing a sequel it had low chances to do well and fit the first movies vibe but in spite of that I still wish there was more of this movie.
He was going to die. You can't imagine how much it hurt her too. They were made in pairs and destined to fall in love and then die. She didn't want to lose the person she was made for? It's an easy choice. You just haven't ever loved somebody more than yourself if you can't understand it.
@@theberserker6000yeah but then he spent decades not knowing who he was while subconsciously following her without knowing why, feeling completely alone & depressed… that’s some life she wanted for him
@@Khalid-kd4fupersonally i liked this because it was a grey area, imo your pov is right but she knew hed endanger himself and would probably be killed too and didnt want to put him in a dangerous situation. Its kind of like spiderman leaving after resetting things in the recent movie where he sees mj but doesnt explain anything especially after losing aunt may, he loves her enough to keep his distance but in that case yeah at least she seems happy while hancock is facing his own torture despite surviving.
Not really. Different cultures called them different things, Gods, Angels now Superheroes it's not really said what they are unless it's in some comic.
Yeah, the plot is basically that He is of a race of god like beings or something, and many of the myths of gods were actually just them. Neigh immortal beings with super strength, flight, etc. But when 2 of these beings get together, they slowly become human losing all their powers so they can grow old and die together. He was married and lost all his powers when he got injured, but part of the plot was that his wife wanted to leave him for a variety of good and bad reasons, including saving his life and her not wanting to die, among other reasons. She ran off which slowly restored his powers, healing his injuries and giving him strength, but not his amnesia, and decided to stay away. The plot then develops from him being reformed into a superhero to him learning about his past, as well as something else... because he wasn't actually injured stopping a mugging.
This scene bothered many, even women. Guys said stuff like "see women will take advantage of men." You had some women say, "See how evil she is. She lied to her current love. What would she say in 20 years when he ages and her being tge same and made the only other person like her feel alone and miserable for over 80 years. She deserved to die not be saved by John running/flying away."
Yes and no. There are only a handful of good sequels out there. If we could get a flawless sequel or somewhere close to that, sure. But knowing Hollywood, we’re better off without one
80 years ago is not medieval times. 400-500 years ago is medieval times. Seeing as how there weren’t cars or buses around 80 years nor proper health care especially for African Americans that time, indicates this is set in the near future.
Yeah it was weird when Ray didn't pick up on the fact that he had movie tickets to see Boris Karloff in theaters, but maybe he thought it was a retro thing or something, like some theaters show old movies.
Hancock, specifically Jason Bateman's character convincing Hancock to try the traditional Superman style of superheroing, is when 'Superheroes are always lame and either campy or grimdark' stopped. Of course, Iron Man came out 3 months earlier... But the Incredible Hulk tried to follow up Iron Man and it was... not a great film. Iron Man wasn't just a flash in the pan. Hollywood could _do Superheroes justice._ (No, Nolanbatman doesn't count. There's no 'super.')
In some ways, Hancock is a bit of a Wolverine 2.0. 1) He’s indestructible though in a different 2) He’s more than a century old 3) He loses his memory 4) His super hero outfit (thank Mike Epps for mentioning it lol)
@@nicolbolas5934The blonde woman has powers similar to him, and she was his wife 80 years ago. She just simply didn't say anything, or go see him after he was mugged, because when they are near each other, they start to lose their powers.
And then the doctor asked him if he remembered his old life and if he had a family, maybe kids, or a wife..? At the moment Hancock felt an urge, he had to do this, he knew, so he stood up, and reached his hand out to the doctor. He slapped him, hard, right across the cheek. “You keep my wife out of your motherf-ing mouth!” Hancock thundered. He reclined back into his bed, and the nurses all applauded him.
I guess the last fight they had, she called him an a-hole and he called her crazy. They both reaaaally don't like those words. Even after 80 years, that's the one thing he definitely remembers.
This movie is genuinely a heroes tragedy. If there was ever a movie that deserves a sequel, this is it, as well as I am legend. But I don’t know how they’re going to make that work but let’s stay focused on this one.
