Stroncaticchio dalla critica, non partivo con grandi aspettative per
Hancock; in effetti i suoi difetti sono evidenti e non certo piccoli, però alla fin fine qualcosa di decente sotto c'è.
Hancock è (per quanto ne sapeva...) l'ultimo della sua specie: immortale, invulnerabile, fortissimo ed in grado di volare.
Un vero supereroe, non fosse che non si sente minimamente in dovere di aiutare il prossimo, e quando lo fa riesce sempre a creare più guai di quanti ne risolva.
La città di
Los Angeles gli è ostile, almeno finché non salverà la vita ad un PR idealista che si impegnerà per cambiare la sua immagine.
Inizia cazzaro per poi virare su tematiche più serie, cosa che lo fa forse risultare un po' confuso (nello stile se non nelle intenzioni).
Tutto sommato prevedibile la prima parte, anche se non mancano i momenti simpatici; si eccede un po' con le parolacce e l'umorismo greve (che richiede più classe, se proprio lo si vuole mettere).
Nella seconda metà si scoprono i segreti dell'eroe e le sue origini; le idee qui non sono affatto malvagie, ma risentono del difetto principale dell'intero film, cioè il risultare eccessivamente didascalico: poche le scene con del pathos, le inquadrature si susseguono senza suscitare molto nello spettatore (non ci si diverte troppo, non ci si commuove troppo).
Insomma: una lieve ritoccatina alla sceneggiatura, una robusta ripulita ai dialoghi ed un
regista che non fosse un dilettante, e sarebbe stato un eccellente film; purtroppo, tocca accontentarsi.
I "cattivi" andavano definiti meglio e sul finire avrebbe dovuto osare di più in quanto a sacrifici (ma mi rendo conto che è chiedere troppo, alla Hollywood del 2008).
Bravo
Smith,
Jason Bateman non dà esattamente fondo alle proprie capacità (posto che...), per colpa anche dei dialoghi. La
Theron è sempre una meraviglia da guardare, ma il personaggio andava reso meglio.
Non mi hanno fatto impazzire gli effetti speciali: tutta roba che ormai si fa regolarmente - e meglio - in produzioni medio-alte, ed in alcuni casi stridevano un po' (all'inizio forse la cosa era voluta, con il "volo ubriaco", ma poteva comunque essere reso meglio).
In definitiva, simpaticuccio, ma non se ne esce proprio contenti.
Voto: 6 (+/- 0.5 a piacere).

Smith, Will (I)
Nome di battesimo: Jr., Willard Christopher Smith
Data di nascita: 25 September 1968
Altezza: 6' 2" (1.88 m)
Coniuge: Jada Pinkett Smith::(31 December 1997 - present) 2 children, Sheree Smith::(9 May 1992 - 10 December 1995) (divorced) 1 child
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Will Smith was the second of four children of Caroline (school board employee) and Willard C Smith Sr. (owner of a refrigeration company). Smith is of both African American and Native American heritage. He grew up in middle class area in West Philadelphia called Wynnefield. Will attended the Overbrook High School located in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He got the nickname 'Prince' because of the way he could charm his way out of trouble. Bright student Will also signed up with the high-status Julia Reynolds Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School in Philadelphia. Pursuing music, he met Jeff Townes at a party and they soon began performing together as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. When the duo took off in popularity, Smith made and spent a lot of money on a house, cars and jewelry; leading to his near bankruptcy in his early twenties. Luckily, in 1989, he met Benny Medina, who had an idea for a sitcom based on his life in Beverly Hills. Smith loved the idea as did NBC which put on the "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990). The plot was simple -Will basically played himself; a street-smart West Philly kid transplanted to Beverly Hills. The series lasted 6 years. During that time, he ventured into movies where the critics took note of him in Six Degrees of Separation (1993). With the success that came with the action picture Bad Boys (1995), Will's movie career was set. His had a huge hit with the Blockbuster Independence Day (1996) where he plays the alien-battling Marine Corps Captain Steven Hiller.
Trivia random: He and Jada Pinkett Smith were forced to leave their home in California because a bush fire threatened to destroy it and several other houses in the same area. [October 2005]
Citazione random: You're so much stronger when your partner is strong. I honestly believe there is no woman for me but Jada. Of all the women I've met - and there've been a few - no one can handle me the way Jada does. Once you feel someone locked in on you, it's no contest. As fine as other women can be, as tempting sexually, I'm not going anywhere. This is it. I can't imagine what anyone else could offer.
Salario massimo: $28,000,000, per I, Robot (2004)

Theron, Charlize
Data di nascita: 7 August 1975

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Charlize Theron grew up on a farm outside Benoni, South Africa, as the only child. She got an education as a ballet dancer and has danced both the "Swan Lake" and the "Nutcracker Suite". There wasn't much for a young actress or dancer to do in South Africa, so she soon traveled to Europe and United States of America, where she got job at the Joffrey Ballet in New York. She was also able to work as a photo model. However, an injured knee put a halt to her dancing career. At the age of 18, her mother made her go to Los Angeles to try a career in the movie industry. She came to Los Angeles without knowing anyone in the city but after two weeks when she was standing in line on Hollywood Boulevard an agent gave her his card. After eight months in Los Angeles she got her first part. Since then, she has taken acting lessons and her career has skyrocketed, most lately in The Devil's Advocate (1997).
Trivia random: Became a fashion model at age 14.
