Amazon.co.uk Review
iHancock/i turns the standard superhero movie inside-out. The titular character, played by Will Smith, can fly, has super strength and is invulnerable. But he's also a sloppy, arrogant alcoholic who causes millions of dollars in property damage whenever he bothers to fight crime. When he saves the life of a PR agent named Ray (Jason Bateman, iArrested Development/i), Ray decides to improve Hancock's image--starting by having Hancock surrender himself to the authorities and go to prison for his lawless behaviour. The idea is that once he's in prison, the crime rate will go up and people will start realising Hancock might be of value after all. This is only the first act of iHancock/i though--from there, the film takes several surprising turns that shouldn't be revealed. iHancock/i isn't a great movie, but it is an extremely entertaining one. The script, which holds together far better than most superhero movies, has a propulsive plot, good dialogue, some compassion for its characters, and even an actual idea or two. The spectacular action at least gestures towards obeying the laws of physics, which actually makes the special effects more vivid. The three leads (Smith, Bateman, and Charlize Theron as Ray's wife, Mary) deftly balance the movie's mixture of comedy, action, and drama. All in all, a smart subversive twist on a genre that all too often takes itself all too seriously. --iBret Fetzer/i

A wonderful light hearted film with dark undertones. Will Smith as, at first, an anti-hero causing mayhem in his drunken wake. This film is a repeater, one you can watch again and again.

Will Smith has done it again. With style no less, without the cape and without the tights. Awesome to say the least. I could go on to say it is one of the best films he has ever made, but you get the point =D
