After the roaring success of the international hit - I Am Legend, Will Smith is back with a comedy/superhero movie. As Iron Man has proven, superhero movies can be excellent if done right, and by the looks of the trailer of Will Smith's new movie - Hancock (due to release on July 2nd), superhero type movies are definitely working! Check out the trailer of Hancock at Youtube.

Saw the trailer looks really good. Though most of Smith's stuff recently has been good. (I'm talking about acting not the scripts - I Am Legend? He can cure vampires but can't dodge a grenade?)

Hancock sounded like a great subversion of the superhero movie. Apparently, the plot is that Will Smith- as Hancock- is a 'superhero' (term used liberally) who gets a white PR guy...and then sleeps with his wife.
Sounds great to me!

I don't like will Smith as an actor. I think he's horrible and annoying (Most disagree with me though). To make it worse, Hancock looks liked a rip off version of Superman to me so I'm really not interested.
I hated the Superman movies, why would I want to see another one, but with Will Smith and a new title?

Because it's not at all the Superman movie. Hancock is intended to deconstruct movies like those, but not in a Watchmen style. It's more a parody, played straight, but...yeah.
It looks good.

You know Will Smith will make the movie good! I can't wait till it hits the theatres!!
I saw the trailor for this yesterday actually when I went to see Ironman lol, it looks absolutely fantastic. Definitely original, and the acting - from the trailers at least - looked spot on.
