Massawyrm Sports Wood For HANCOCK!!

Fuckin' A!! by Speed Fricassee	Jun 27th, 2008 09:15:00 AM
Saw this last Monday. Go see it!
massawyrm's killing it by juice willis	Jun 27th, 2008 09:15:50 AM
damn, son.
What do you reckon, Massawyrm? by Franklin T Marmoset	Jun 27th, 2008 09:16:00 AM
Should I see this or Wanted? I demand in a friendly manner that you make up my mind for me.
interesting. by palewook	Jun 27th, 2008 09:17:50 AM
if massawyrm actually liked this, it might not be so bad
Massa's right about this film by Merrick	Jun 27th, 2008 09:18:29 AM
It's all he said, and more.

I was really luke warm on seeing this but you swung me Big Willy Stylee!

So it's pretty good then by terry1978	Jun 27th, 2008 09:21:28 AM
I kind of had an inkling, but all the internet hype was saying it's meh, but I'll be there next week.
Suck it, haters! by Evil Lincoln	Jun 27th, 2008 09:27:42 AM
I've been looking forward to seeing this film for awhile now and I'm glad to see it's finally getting some respect. It looks like big fun!
I liked the style of this review by tomdolan04	Jun 27th, 2008 09:27:43 AM
highlighting the good, bad and ugly in equal measure. I'm more influenced to see a film by a review that actually slags the film off to a degree. A raving 'OMG YOU MUST SEE THIS MOO-VIE' review makes me wary as rarely a film comes along that ticks all boxes (Wall-E may be in that category by all accounts). A flawed fun ride sounds like a believable version of this flick. The studio should pay you Massa! Wall-E, Dark Knight and this now form my July cinema jaunts.
subtle racism by ArcadianDS	Jun 27th, 2008 09:28:15 AM
way to toss in the Uncle Ben reference, hater.
James Mcavoy and Water by EvilWizardGlick	Jun 27th, 2008 09:29:27 AM
Ever notice damn near every Mcavoy film trailer has him in a water related situation?
Is this the Hancock blowjob for the toher bad review? by EvilWizardGlick	Jun 27th, 2008 09:29:59 AM
Just wonderin.
I saw this last night... by Hjermsted	Jun 27th, 2008 09:31:15 AM
I do agree there are score problems in this film and that the camera work was a distraction in parts. What bothered me most about Hancock was the second-rate special effects. I'm not sure if it's possible to "phone-in" special effects but whenever the action kicks ramps up in this film, I felt like I was watching a TV pilot for some new low budget sci-fi channel show. Thankfully, the actors all turn in great performances (even the little kid!) and the director knows what he is doing. The plot is spare but decent and the character mythology being developed here is very intriguing. I laughed a lot during this film. If the special effects had been less jarring, I would recommend it to others as an instant classic in the genre. Sadly, I cannot!
I know the Dune worms are phallic, but Christ... by AdrianVeidt	Jun 27th, 2008 09:33:22 AM
Way to go to it, Massa. So ready for this movie.
Ya sure about that? by Emperor_was_a_jerk	Jun 27th, 2008 09:33:31 AM

I've been worried this film might be racist. by greenstyle92	Jun 27th, 2008 09:38:06 AM
My brother and I were watching the trailers a month ago and he goes, "Oh, it's like a ghetto Superhero!" And I couldn't decide if that was just my brother being a racist asshole or if that's what the film was actually trying to put out there. But... I think I'm up for seeing it to find out.
thank god massa likes this by dr sauch	Jun 27th, 2008 09:39:28 AM
i can always count on the wyrm to see the fun in movies other like to poo poo. thats right, poo poo. anyway, i'm seeing it.
My 1st Time Here. Hey. by jhill3rd	Jun 27th, 2008 09:49:26 AM
I saw it Wednesday in Baltimore and I have to agree with Massawyrm: Handcock is a really good, fun movie. If you would have asked me in April what movies I thought were gonna be bad this summer, Hancock was at the top of the list. Now that the the summer is half over, Hancock is not there anymore. That #1 spot now reserved for Indy 4. Go figure :)
erm Speed Racer didn't deliver by thinboyslim.	Jun 27th, 2008 09:54:25 AM
did it??
my biggest issue with the movie by van_line	Jun 27th, 2008 09:55:52 AM
(i haven't seen it yet) but the costume he wears. such an x-men rip-off they should pay royalities.
van_line, that's the joke by terry1978	Jun 27th, 2008 10:00:11 AM
He's opposed to wearing the cliche black leather tight costume, which has become a staple of superhero/action flicks since Matrix/X-Men.
I need to know if the super jizz scene is still in this. by fanboy71	Jun 27th, 2008 10:00:43 AM
I don't want to have to explain it to my 11 year old. That will be the determining factor as to whether we wait till DVD or go see it in theaters.
A Surly Superman? by Aquatarkusman	Jun 27th, 2008 10:03:04 AM
Wasn't this the non-Richard Pryor portion of Superman III?
van_line... by jhill3rd	Jun 27th, 2008 10:07:02 AM
The costume pays off.
Going to enjoy this at home when it comes out on video by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Jun 27th, 2008 10:08:49 AM
So I'll post my review in November. In other news, for those that call Stephen Sommers a hack, on the set of GI JOE, he instructed Sienna Miller to wear fake breasts as her own cleavage was not big enough for him. According to Miller: "I wear a tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs... They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, 'I'm gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,' and I don't have them so we made them bigger... At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended."
It's Dwayne Johnson by the way Massa... by WickedJester	Jun 27th, 2008 10:11:47 AM
Still unsure about this. Seems there is no in between, either people love it or hate it.
No your wrong about the trailers by Series7	Jun 27th, 2008 10:15:57 AM
There is a typical Will Smith trailer out on TV right now that gives away the whole movie. You know Charlieze is the one who can save him. Its not totally obvious, but its not a total secert. They ALMOST didn't ruin the movie in the trailers for once... its like they had that trailer ready to hit the tubes a month ago and some one was holding it back. But like an owner trying to hold back a jack russell, it wiggled and squeeled and broke free and went nuts.
It's getting panned by the critics by Jeditemple	Jun 27th, 2008 10:19:34 AM
So, let's hope they're wrong.
Hancock Promotes Hate Speech by bingcrosbyb	Jun 27th, 2008 10:20:12 AM
I read in the review from DVDTown that while looking at a comic book with three white superheroes, Hackcock (Will Smith) says, "Homo. Homo. Norwegian Homo." Whether or not that will fly with audiences, who knows...
I really want to see this film by photoboy	Jun 27th, 2008 10:22:45 AM
I loved the trailer but there have been a few relatively negative reviews that made me wonder if the film would be as good as it sounded. But now I'm really excited to see it again. Plus, this bodes well for Berg's Dune adaptation. I recently saw The Kingdom and I'm pretty certain Berg will be able to do something really good with Dune now.
Someone PLEASE tell me... by fanboy71	Jun 27th, 2008 10:26:25 AM
if the super jizz scene made it to theaters. I don't want my kids to see that.
um... by dingus khan	Jun 27th, 2008 10:26:36 AM
...that avatar is gayer than figure skates on fire island.
okay i stopped at "Rocket pride" by Holodigm	Jun 27th, 2008 10:29:12 AM
SOMEONE (cough Massa) just hit a new low... seriously though, Massa, did you go to Judson?
bingcrosbyb by thebearovingian	Jun 27th, 2008 10:30:02 AM
Hate speech? C'mon, man. Don't be so naive.
I'll pass on the super jizz scene by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Jun 27th, 2008 10:30:43 AM
But heads shoved up rectums is perfectly fine for junior to watch. Interesting.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL FANBOY 71 about SUPER JIZZ by thebearovingian	Jun 27th, 2008 10:32:26 AM
Is it in the damn movie or not?! Every HANCOCK talkback has someone asking this and I have yet to see it answered! Man up and answer!
I've said it before by Series7	Jun 27th, 2008 10:32:29 AM
Berg will win best director oscar within the next 10-20 years. I wouldn't compare him to Faveru, well because Berg is good. Faveru movies all seem to be missing something, maybe its a bad guy? There never seems to be a villin in Faverus work, people told me that there was a bad guy in Iron Man, but I must have missed it. I just saw some jealous boss who while he looked very evil, seemed like he didn't really dislike Stark that much.
So, Massa, by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 27th, 2008 10:41:17 AM
is Berg good for Dune? thats what i'm assuming the worms are about.
Good Luck Fighting the Enormous Sand Cock Monster... by Read and Shut Up	Jun 27th, 2008 10:41:27 AM
...(canned applause).
Seems like they had trouble selling it to people by godzillasushi	Jun 27th, 2008 10:44:34 AM
Since the initial trailer was focusing on the comedy and the latest thing has been the drama angle. This review is the first positive thing I've read about it in a long time. Oh, the doubts I have....
Flying Whale! by gregniz	Jun 27th, 2008 10:45:14 AM
If the movie is half as funny as the noise the flying whale makes in the trailer I'll love it
There's no super jizz scene. There is that "homo" scene and... by Tom Whitaker	Jun 27th, 2008 10:47:07 AM
...one other bit of Hollywood's favourite, the easy gay joke. It is a fun movie, but it's not this good. It feels hacked up and, apparently, it was. This was the 3rd cut Berg submitted before he got a PG-13. The acting and the comedy is there but the pacing and structure is off. Fun night at the flicks though.
hahaha total sellout by mynemaborat	Jun 27th, 2008 10:50:03 AM
this movie sux... its a good concept but it just doesn't work... the whole charlize theron bad super hero is terrible. massawyrm, this is your godzilla. this is exactly what harry did for godzilla and it was shit. this movie isn't as bad as that, but its still average, and massa obviously got a bunch of money for this review... well, its common knowledge aicn is on the payroll but still, try a little harder to conceal boys!
Where's a DARK KNIGHT review??? by The Bo Man	Jun 27th, 2008 10:51:02 AM
It screened last night at the Arclight Sherman Oaks, CA. An AICN spy must have been in attendance. I heard it's F'n awesome and that Ledger is a shoe-in for an Oscar nod.
Gayer than Ice Skates on Fire Island. by WickedJester	Jun 27th, 2008 10:53:30 AM
I'll be stealing that one.. lol.
Happy to see a good review by allykatD	Jun 27th, 2008 10:53:58 AM
I really want this film to work out. I've been looking forward to it and love the premise of the messed up super hero. I also had to nod at the comment about Wolverine and realized that has been the problem with him--except for a few moments in the last sucky installment. Back to Hancock, this review, if anything will be enough to put my butt in that seat on opening day. Thanks. And wow, that penis-looking Dune wormy thing is creepy.
Also by WickedJester	Jun 27th, 2008 10:54:08 AM
Isn't that the sandworm from Tremors? Not Dune...?
Excellent review covering all sides by Shub-Wankalot	Jun 27th, 2008 11:02:21 AM
A flawed gem...that's good enough for me to take a peek at this flick.
Hancok will be # 2 this year behind the Dark Knight! by ganymede3010	Jun 27th, 2008 11:07:47 AM
I'm still predicting that this movie will astronomically huge! Second only to the Dark Knight:) Will Smith will break his previous 4th of July records also.
I rarely agree with Mass, but always love his reviews. by beastie	Jun 27th, 2008 11:17:24 AM
He is joining my own personal rankings of Ebert, Travers and Mori. Anyway, it is nice to see an original film (not remake or sequel) come out this summer. I don't have high expectations, but do have high hopes.
oh please massa...everyone knows the secret by bacci40	Jun 27th, 2008 11:36:01 AM
thanks to screenings...hancock is a god with amnesia...theiron is his godess wife, also with amnesia...its stupid
Stark, get ready to punch my friend. by WickedJester	Jun 27th, 2008 11:57:11 AM

Spoilers by rogueleader66	Jun 27th, 2008 12:25:54 PM
People need to stop putting spoilers in these talkbacks without warning people, that's just fucked up. Stop trying to spoil the movie for others just because you're an asshole. I thought from the get go that this was gonna be a good movie, and so far what I have heard is encouraging, I can't wait to see it.
I'll still pass on "Ghettoman," thanks... by SpyGuy	Jun 27th, 2008 12:30:03 PM
...and wait for the Luke Cage, Black Lightning, Cyborg, Vixen, Falcon, Mr. Terrific, Bishop, Amazing Man, Bronze Tiger, or Black Panther movies instead.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME by Mr Slippy Fist	Jun 27th, 2008 12:34:39 PM
If the super jiz scene or head up the ass scene are still in the movie? That is the only way I am getting laid by my girlfriend the night this movie comes out (no pun intended).
Yeah Massawyrm always... by Kid Z	Jun 27th, 2008 12:51:34 PM
...likes shit I hate and hates shit I like.... but always writes a damn good review.
haha you tool by ArcadianDS	Jun 27th, 2008 01:07:35 PM
kingdom. you stink brah. Also you're way too easy.
PLANT: SPOILER! by Sammy Jankis	Jun 27th, 2008 01:39:04 PM
At one point, Hancock speaks to a plastic, green plant in the corner. He says, "Hey Man! Want a drink?". His superurine turns the plant into a real plant and then there is a happening.
Not buying in, sorry. by Dwide Shrewd	Jun 27th, 2008 02:13:45 PM
I'm surprised to hear Massa praise this one. I honestly didn't expect him to like it. There has been too much negative WoM about this movie for me to justify spending my hard-earned coin on it. It's got Redbox special written on it, as far as I'm concerned.
I still don't know about this one by zooch	Jun 27th, 2008 02:20:34 PM
unfortunately I don't share your love for Big Willie or Peter Berg, so we'll see.
maybe it's nitpicky... by KurtLockwood	Jun 27th, 2008 02:47:50 PM
...but the scene in the trailer where he throws the kid a mile into the sky and then catches him a minute later? I don't care how super you are, the laws of physics would've shattered every bone in his body upon being caught. But then again it is a Will "Awww Hayyyilll Nawwww" Smith movie about drunk, black superman, so maybe I am being too nitpicky...
Guys, how could you POSSIBLY like this film? by GiggityGoo	Jun 27th, 2008 03:25:50 PM
It's a complete mess, from beginning to end. An incoherently presented backstory, a "villain" that only qualifies for that title because it's written that way, an ending that has ZERO emotional kick because it's confusing as all hell, exposition that runs thick as molasses because it looks like all the cool stuff has been cut out... It's a disaster. Seriously, I can't believe any of the serious reviewers on this site are even recommending this film as a rental.
Massawyrm CONSTANTLY lowers the bar Giggity by IndustryKiller!	Jun 27th, 2008 05:12:34 PM
It's his lot on this site. I mean look at the beginning of this review? What kind of fucking redneck sees this trailer and thinks "Oh Yeah Hancock, THAT"S gonna be great!!!" The kind of redneck that actually finds a guy sticking one dudes head up anothers ass funny apparently. Nothing this film shows off looks like it's anything other than one lowbrow cliche after the next aimed directly at Massawyrms neck of stupidity. I guess for Christmas I'll get him this and What Hapens in Vegas on DVD.
Hmmm.... by br1947	Jun 27th, 2008 05:25:36 PM
The concept sounds interesting, a super hero that just doesn't give a fuck sounds interesting. But I pretty much hate Will Smith abd was gonna skip it, but if Massawyrm likes it... I might give it a chance.
And Giggity, Industrykiller! is by Massawyrm 1	Jun 27th, 2008 05:33:24 PM
The peehole on the dick of humanity. I mean, what egghead wannabe reads a critic consistently, finds he has nothing to offer him, but feels the need to time and again comment on that fact. he needs a girl. Or a guy. I'm not judging.
The Kingdom was fucking HORRIBLE by all	Jun 27th, 2008 05:33:53 PM
I can't trust you ever ever ever now.
alot to like by smutpeddlar	Jun 27th, 2008 05:59:55 PM
thats why i have always liked this site,you get more then 1 view..i mean,the next 3 reviews from these guys may it sucked..folled by another review saying how much they loved it..just because we are all geeks does'nt mean we all think alike..and there is no subsitute for what you think yourself,why get mad at a reviewer?..whats the upside?
Richard Stark - NOPE by Massawyrm 1	Jun 27th, 2008 06:43:50 PM
That is an entirely incorrect assessment. Theron is in no way the villain of this film.
Massawyrm...since when is... by depalma25	Jun 27th, 2008 10:29:16 PM
...The Kingdom considered an Iraq war film? The movie takes place in Saudi Arabia.
depalma25 by Massawyrm 1	Jun 27th, 2008 10:43:42 PM
It is a film entirely about the War on Terror - taking place in the midst of the Iraq War. Rather than considering it simply a "War on terror" film, of which there is what, one or two other serious entries, I consider it part of the whole movement of films - and I find it to be far superior to them all. Calling it the best war on terror film sells it short. It was not meant to be a slight to any country or people, nor infer that the film takes place in Iraq.

Hancock looks to be going the way of mixed reviews by The Founder	Jun 28th, 2008 03:36:13 AM
I'm sure that I'll like it, and write if off as another predictable Will Smith summer action/popcorn flick. I'm sure the general audience will love it and it'll make a ton of money. The fanboys however will love it or hate in or in between.
Saxon... by TheRealMoriarty	Jun 28th, 2008 03:36:40 AM
... that's not a girl he throws. It's the little boy who played young Michael Meyers in Zombie's HALLOWEEN REDUX.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hancock in No 1 this summer. by The Founder	Jun 28th, 2008 03:41:19 AM
While batman has the potential, i'm still not sold. Batman has a limited general audience. The last one made unbder 250 domestically if i'm not mistaken. None of the Batfilms I think made over 300 mil. This one may do better then all the rest due to the passing of Heath Ledger, but even still, and I hate to be disrespectful in any way or come across as such, but honestly Ledger, while a good actor didn't have a huge fan following where people are going to flock in the see his final film, and that is more so do to him not being well known enough. At anyrate Hancock or either Indy will probably end up being the King of the Summer. I also wouldn't rule out Wall-E
Aww shucks Massa by IndustryKiller!	Jun 28th, 2008 01:08:29 PM
If humanity was a proverbial dick.....I would be it's PEEHOLE?? Well, flattery will get you everywhere Massa, but I don't think I'm that crucial an instrument. But i'll take the compliment you big lug. That's how you meant it right?
You PREFER Batman Forever Tom??? by IndustryKiller!	Jun 28th, 2008 01:10:21 PM
Good lord man. You're like the monkey entertained over and over and over again by the same shiny rock.
TomBodet but today's dollars doesn't count. by The Founder	Jun 29th, 2008 02:54:37 AM
I'm not trying to belittle Batman, cause I loved the first two, and the rest went down hill, but Nolan picked up with BB, but even that was way overrated. The money Batman in 89 was the value it was at back then if i make sense. I guess if you wanna start looking at things that way you can say Irom Man made 300 million, but in dollars in 1989 that would only be this amount and so forth. it's really a pointless argument and no Bat flick has made over 300 mil and soory pal but you can't adjust for inflation cause that money or profits was also spent back in 89 by WB at the value it was at.
