Variety: What the writers and director Peter Berg do with the concept in the end, however, is nowhere near sufficiently thought out, and narrative illogic and missed opportunities plague the film increasingly as it cartwheels through its surprisingly brief running time.
Me: (Smith) saves Jason Bateman’s character, a public relations guru who takes up the task of improving Hancock’s image. Then the movie takes a twist, leading those in the theater seats on an unusual and awkward route. The result is an uneven flick that makes me think that its stars and director were uncomfortable with the unorthodox script. . . . . . With a running time of 92 minutes, the pace of the movie felt rushed.
Variety: (Hancock) . . . treads the very edge of PG-13 permissiveness and will no doubt catch many July 4 weekend kid-herding parents unhappily unaware.
Me: But “Hancock” is definitely not a family pic. It’s filled with a particular “a word” and graphic scenes of gunplay. I particularly don’t mind the curse words and violence but I’m sure a lot of families will.
