In the beginning of the trailer, was it just me or did Hancock farted so he could launch himself to the sky? The stone bench he was sitting on was like getting a hit from an A-bomb! (lol, it looks like launching a rocket leaving massive destruction behind!) Saving the day and leaving behind massive destruction, that's his trademark!
At first, when I heard of the name "Hancock", I thought it was probably just another boring drama ( the name "Hancock" sounds like "John Hancock", the insurance company that haunted me during my childhood in the form of TV advertisement). After seeing the "Hancock" poster, I started to think otherwise. Maybe it's a story about skiing championship, since Will Smith is dressed up like skier in the poster. =P
The movie trailer proved everything I guess was wrong. Instead of playing the hero (Man In Black), the loving (The Pursuit of Happyness) and the matyr (I am Legend), he is playing the role of the anti-hero (WTH is an anti-hero? A hero that has no hero qualities, silly!). From the trailer, Hancock can be seen as a drunkard, someone who lacks dicipline in life and someone who doesn't give a damn about what people thinks of him. Because of that, everyone hates him! (but I kinda like him though since he fears no Kryptonite unlike the useless Superman)
I do find several lines in the trailer funny like the "I can smell that liquor on your breath", "Cause I've been drinkin' *#$%^!" and "Do I have the permission to touch your body? It's nothing sexual maybe on a different...". I'm sure it's going to have more funnier lines in the movie, ha!
From what I can see in the trailer, he did care about what people think (or why the heck would he do so many troublesome things) and all he wanted was to do things right (just that his loneliness of being one and only made him want to drown himself with liquor)! This movie would be GREAT in showing how a person can change his life if he is willing to put in effort. It would really be interesting to see how someone with a really bad reputation turn the tables and from a superzero to a superhero!
